Not keyword monitoring

Keyword tools bury you in threads.
We send you the three that matter.

Keyword monitors Every mention. No filter.
r/saas — "love scheduling tool for my team"
r/productivity — "scheduling tool help"
r/freelance — "which scheduling tool?"
r/digitalnomad — "scheduling tool rec"
r/smallbusiness — "scheduling tool setup"
r/entrepreneur — "my scheduling tool broke"
r/webdev — "scheduling tool api"
r/sideproject — "scheduling tool"

You reply to nothing. The thread you wanted is buried on page 4.

Every one is a person actively looking to switch. Reply drafted and waiting.

The Problem

Dozens of people have already asked Reddit for an alternative to your competitor. You never saw those threads.

Every day someone posts "fed up with my current tool's pricing, what's everyone using?" or "this thing is overkill, I need something simpler." That's a buyer talking themselves into switching — saying your pitch out loud, for free.

But Reddit's search is terrible. You have a product to build. You're not refreshing forums at 11pm. So you find the thread a week later: buried, downvoted, and someone already dropped a link to the tool you're trying to beat. That was your customer. You just weren't there.

Set it up once.
The threads come to you.

OpinionDeck does the watching. You just show up, read the draft, and reply.

Step 1

Point it at your competitors

Paste your product URL. We pull the tools you're replacing — keep the ones that fit, drop the rest. That's the setup. We start watching Reddit immediately.

Step 2

We email you when one's worth it

We read Reddit around the clock and ping you only when someone's unhappy with a competitor and asking what to switch to. Not every mention — only the ones where a reply could win you a customer.

Step 3

Read the draft, tweak, post

Every alert lands with a reply already written for that exact thread — not a template. Make it sound like you, open Reddit, paste, post. The hard part was already done.

The kind of thread you'll wake up to.

Switching-intent posts like these happen every day. You get them in your inbox with the reply already drafted.

Common questions.

Will my replies look like spam? Could this get my Reddit account flagged?

OpinionDeck drafts a reply — you review, edit, and post it yourself from your own account. There's no auto-posting. The drafts are written to match the tone of the subreddit and thread, not to sound like marketing copy. Used thoughtfully, replies that genuinely help people tend to get upvoted, not flagged.

What if my competitors aren't well-known on Reddit?

Paste your product URL and OpinionDeck identifies your likely competitors automatically. If a competitor has low Reddit activity, we surface that quickly so you can adjust. You can also monitor the problem you solve — not just competitor names — to catch threads where people describe the pain without naming a specific tool.

How is this different from Google Alerts or Syften?

Google Alerts surfaces any mention — happy users, tangential references, spam. Keyword monitors ping you on everything that matches a word. OpinionDeck only alerts you when someone is expressing frustration with a named competitor and asking what to switch to. Fewer pings, but every one is a person in buying mode.

What happens during weeks when there are no relevant threads?

Nothing — and that's fine. You won't get pings on threads that don't meet the intent bar. The dashboard shows you what was scanned so you know it's working. If a competitor is generating low Reddit activity, that's itself useful signal.

Do I need a Reddit account to use OpinionDeck?

You need a Reddit account to post replies — OpinionDeck doesn't post for you. To use OpinionDeck itself (monitoring, alerts, reply drafts), you only need an email address to sign up.

What is a Discovery Radar?

A Discovery Radar is a saved set of competitors and a problem category that OpinionDeck re-runs every day. When new relevant threads appear, you get an email. Pro plan includes up to 5 active Radars — set them once and let them run.

What is the Day Pass — and when should I use it?

The Day Pass gives you 24 hours of Pro-equivalent access for a flat $10. No subscription, no commitment. It's ideal if you're in launch mode, preparing for a product hunt drop, or just want to go deep for a day without committing monthly. After 24 hours your account reverts to the free tier — your history and saved threads stay intact.

The threads are already happening. Now you'll actually find them.

Three minutes to set up. After that, every thread where someone's switching away from your competitor lands in your inbox — with the reply written.
