Won't this feel slimy?

IntentHunter does not contact anyone for you. It surfaces the public thread and a link so you can read the context and decide whether showing up is appropriate. The honest version is answering the question someone asked, not ambushing a rival's customer.

What counts as a switching signal?

Direct: someone naming a competitor and venting about a specific issue. Indirect: someone describing a problem that maps to a competitor's known weakness. IntentHunter classifies both, and the 0-100 score tells you how close they are to actually moving.

Can I track many competitors at once?

Yes. Eligible plans support multiple projects, each with its own competitor list, keywords, and scored inbox, so you can watch a different set of rivals per product line.

Reach the switcher before your competitor wins them back: competitive intelligence.

When a rival raises prices or breaks a feature, their customers say so on Reddit and Hacker News, then go shopping. IntentHunter watches those competitor conversations, scores each thread 0-100 by how close someone is to switching, says in one line why it matched, and drafts a reply, so you read the switching moments instead of a mentions chart.

Cancelled my [competitor] account after the price increase

Was a happy customer for 3 years. They raised prices 50% on existing accounts. Switching to anything that respects long-term customers.

[Competitor] removed the feature I actually paid for

They moved it behind the enterprise tier. Already evaluating alternatives. Anyone else fed up?

What's actually happening today

The switching moment scrolls away before you see it

"Cancelled my [rival] account after the price hike" gets a few replies and slides off the front page by morning. Check by hand and you usually arrive after the poster has already picked their next tool.

Keyword alerts bury the switch under passing mentions

F5Bot and Google Alerts fire on every reference to a competitor, including someone praising them. A passing mention and a finance lead actively shopping for an alternative arrive with the same weight. You need the thread scored, not a wall of matches.

A vent and a real switch read the same at a glance

"This is annoying" and "I'm moving off this next week" look alike in a feed. Without the source context and a score, you cannot tell which thread is worth a reply today and which is just noise.

What IntentHunter does for you

Scored by switch likelihood, not sentiment

IntentHunter separates someone venting about a rival from someone actively shopping for an alternative. The 0-100 score reflects how close they are to switching, with a one-line reason it matched.

A feed per competitor

Add each competitor with its own keywords: product names, common typos, founder handles. Each one gets its own filterable feed of complaints, comparisons, and switching threads.

A reply drafted, no competitor bashing

The drafted reply helps you frame the honest angle and earn the switch without trashing the rival. You post it yourself on the source platform. IntentHunter never posts, votes, or DMs for you.

Patterns you can act on

Filter by competitor to see what keeps driving people off them. The recurring complaints sharpen your positioning and tell product what to build next.
