| Syften, Brand24 | $20–$60/month. Built for marketing teams with dashboards you have to open. |
| Reddit search, by hand | You'll do it twice and then stop. |
| This | Telegram push, ~1 minute after the post. $4/month when you outgrow three monitors. |

Honest notes
- Reddit throttles anonymous search, so alerts can lag a few minutes at busy times.
- It reads public posts only. It stores your monitors and nothing else — no email, no name, no reading history.
- Built by one person. If it breaks, message the bot and you'll get me, not a form.
