Linkeddit

Best for: Simple Reddit-only keyword monitoring

Watches Reddit for keyword matches. Clean and focused, but single-source — and it doesn't score intent or learn from you.

Eavesdrop vs. Linkeddit

F5Bot

Best for: Free keyword alerts for hobby monitoring

Emails you when keywords appear on Reddit and Hacker News. Free and reliable, but it's raw alerts — no scoring, no triage, no X coverage.

Eavesdrop vs. F5Bot

Google Alerts

Best for: Broad web mentions, not buyer intent

Catches your keywords across the open web. Useful for brand monitoring, but far too noisy to find people who are actually ready to buy.
