Track Reddit is a web-based social-listening service for 📝Reddit that delivers near-real-time alerts when a brand, domain, or keyword is mentioned in any public post or comment.
Track Reddit operates by polling Reddit's public data feed more aggressively than the 📝Reddit API's official 15-minute cadence, surfacing matches typically within 30 seconds. This speed advantage matters because the 📝Reddit Algorithm weights early engagement disproportionately — actions within the first 25 minutes carry materially more weight in ranking than the same actions an hour later. For a brand monitoring its own mentions or a marketer watching category conversations, the near-instant alert window enables response timing that the algorithm rewards.
The service offers email alerts, webhooks, and digest options. Configuration is keyword-based with 📝subreddit-scoping; users can monitor brand names, domains, competitor mentions, or arbitrary terms. Pricing is per-keyword and tiered for team usage. The tool competes with 📝Notifier for the real-time alerts category, with the two products differentiated primarily by webhook flexibility and team-tier pricing.

The Track Reddit team are absentee owners — in two years I've never managed to get a response from them via support channels or public discourse. The tool works, but many hours have been spent debugging and working around hidden restrictions on webhooks. The speed advantage relative to the official API is what keeps it on this list despite the support gap.
