Comments, posts and videos on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and LinkedIn land in one inbox. When someone complains, asks a question or is ready to buy, you know within minutes.
Not ready? Check a name on Reddit and Hacker News, no account needed.
Watch your own accounts, your competitors’, or the creators your customers follow. There is nothing to connect and no password to share: we read what is already public. Cards marked “live” are real mentions; the ones marked “drawn” use an invented brand until we have a real one to show.

Most posts that name you are people mentioning you in passing. We read every one and label it, so the few that need you now reach Slack or your email in minutes, and the rest wait for the daily digest.
“Wore my acme runners to the office today. Anyway, back to the spreadsheet.”
“Anyone tried acme for a first marathon? Deciding between them and two others this week.”
Illustration with an invented brand. A plain keyword alert would send you both.
Name your competitors once and every chart shows your share of the conversation against theirs, week by week. The panel on the left is real: one brand, on one day.
We read it once and suggest your brand names, your competitors, and the accounts and communities worth watching.
Tick the suggestions you agree with, and add any account or channel we missed.
Complaints and buyers reach you within minutes. Everything else waits for a daily digest.
Choose how many accounts, channels and communities to watch, not how many people use it. Starter starts with 14 days free: add a card, and nothing is charged until the trial ends. Pro and Team are charged when you subscribe.
Every plan comes with API keys and a monthly grant of credits. A credit is one API read. When the grant runs out, buy a pack: purchased credits never expire, and the grant is always spent first. Read the API reference.
| API read | 1 credit |
| API write | 2 credits |
| AI reply draft | 5 credits |
| Site scan | 10 credits |
Starter grants 2,000 a month; Pro 20,000.
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and LinkedIn, plus Reddit, Hacker News and Lobsters. On Instagram and TikTok we read the captions and comments of any public account; on YouTube, what is said out loud in every new video of a channel; on X, the posts and replies of any public account, or all of X for your keywords; on LinkedIn, the posts of any public company page and the comments under them. Everything lands in one inbox, marked with where it was said.
No. We read what is already public, so there is nothing to log in to and no password to give us. You can watch your own accounts, a competitor’s, or a creator your audience follows.
Between one and thirty minutes, depending on your plan. Busy accounts are checked more often.
Starter comes with a 14-day trial. Add a card and nothing is charged for 14 days. Cancel any time before the trial ends, in one click from the billing page, and the card is never charged. On day 15 it renews at its price. Pro and Team have no trial: they are charged when you subscribe, and moving to one during the trial ends it. One trial per person.
We keep watching. New mentions past your allowance are stored and counted, and you are told how many are waiting instead of losing them.
