Subreddit Signals alternative: find buyers beyond the subreddits you picked

Subreddit Signals watches the subreddits you choose and ranks matching posts for you to reply to. IntentHunter searches public Reddit for what you sell without a subreddit list, adds Hacker News, Bluesky, and more, scores each conversation 0 to 100 by how close the poster is to buying, and drafts a reply with a link to the thread.

Subreddit Signals is a Reddit-only tool for founders, lean growth teams, and agencies. You pick the subreddits, it scores matching conversations by fit, intent, and engagement opportunity, and its Comment Builder drafts a reply on demand. IntentHunter fits when you do not want to guess the right subreddits, or when your buyers also ask on Hacker News, Bluesky, X, LinkedIn, Threads, or YouTube. It finds conversations from what your website says you sell, scores each 0 to 100 by buying intent, explains why it matched, and drafts a reply. Neither tool posts for you.
