Reddit monitoring
Know when Reddit is talking about you, while the thread is still fresh.
People ask Reddit before they buy, complain there before they cancel, and compare you with competitors in threads you never see. Search engines and AI assistants then quote those threads to everyone else.
SocialHz searches Reddit posts and comments for your words, across Reddit or inside one subreddit, and returns each mention with its link, score and sentiment. Save the search as a run and it checks again every hour, every 6 hours or every day.
In their own words
Real comments from Reddit, quoted as written. Usernames are left out.
“But speed wasn't my problem, noise was. 40 alerts a week, 2 worth replying to.”
“…a user posted that their current platform couldn't provide the report they needed. I commented there and explained how they would do that with my SaaS(literally gave them the solution step by step); 1 hour later, he was on the yearly plan.”
“…there's something about seeing the exact words people use when they're frustrated that makes copywriting feel less like guessing.”
“Monthly analytics are too late for discovery; they’re useful for summarizing what you already captured.”
Where the money is
One thread answered on time can bring in more than a month of ads.
Who pays for it: Founders and small SaaS teams, Community and support teams, Agencies reporting on their clients' brands.
- Reply while people are still reading. A reply that lands while a thread is active gets read. A day later it sits under everything else. An hourly check puts you in the conversation in time.
- Catch complaints before they spread. An unhappy thread about your product keeps showing up in search results and AI answers for months. Seeing it the same day means you can answer it, fix the problem, or at least know.
- Write in your buyers' words. How people describe the problem in comments is the copy for your landing page and your ads. Reading a week of mentions beats guessing.

How it works
- Pick the words. Your brand and how people misspell it, your product names, your competitors, and the phrases buyers use, such as `alternative to`, `recommend` and `switching from`.
- Search posts and comments. `/api/v1/search?platform=reddit` with `sort_by=recent` finds the newest posts. The `reddit-comments` platform finds comments that use a phrase, with `match: phrase`, and `subreddit` keeps it to one community.
- Check on a schedule. Save it with `schedule: hourly`, `every-6h` or `daily`, and `time: day` so each check looks at the last day. Collect each run's data by its id and send the links wherever your team works.
- Posts and comments
- All of Reddit or one subreddit
- Hourly, every 6 hours or daily
- Sentiment for every post
- No Reddit API key

Questions people ask
Can I monitor one subreddit?
Yes, for comments: give the subreddit's name and only its comments are searched. Post search covers all of Reddit, and each post comes with its subreddit, so you can keep the ones you care about.
How soon will I see a new mention?
As soon as the next check. A saved run can check every hour. If you need it sooner, call the search API from your own code more often.
Do I need a Reddit API key?
No. You use your SocialHz key, and nothing signs in to Reddit as you. Reddit stopped giving out new API keys on October 31, 2026.
Can it cut down the noise?
Search for phrases rather than single words, keep to the subreddits that matter, and ask for sentiment: `sentiment=negative` leaves only the posts from people who are unhappy.
What does it cost?
Post search costs 1 credit per page of about 7 posts, and comment search 1 credit per comment found. Five words checked four times a day is about 600 credits a month. A new workspace gets a 7-day free trial.
