KWatch.io
Real-time keyword alerts across Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube with AI sentiment.
About
KWatch.io watches six networks — Reddit, Hacker News, X, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube — and pings you within seconds when your keywords appear. Every mention gets an AI sentiment score, and you can scope alerts to specific subreddits or exclude the noisy ones.
It picked up a lot of GummySearch refugees after that tool shut down in late 2025, since KWatch covers the same Reddit-monitoring job plus five more networks. Pricing is refreshingly transparent: a free plan with a couple of keyword alerts, then $19/mo for Essential. The catch is that API webhooks and Slack integrations only unlock on the $79/mo Business plan.
