F5Bot

Free email alerts when your product is mentioned on Reddit, Hacker News, or Lobsters; the zero-budget listening option.

Watches Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters for your keywords and emails you within minutes of a mention, fast enough to join a thread while it is still on the front page. The base tier is free, with paid plans adding Slack and Discord delivery, feeds and API access, and AI filtering. Still the right first social-listening setup for a team of one.
