Reddit Scout Pro by PlugMonkey - Keyword Monitor & Lead Finder for Reddit
The smartest way to find high-intent conversations on Reddit. Monitor keywords, categorize buyer intent, score leads, and never miss a potential customer again. All from your browser.
Here's the truth: Reddit is a goldmine for finding customers, but manually searching dozens of subreddits is impossible. Reddit Scout Pro by PlugMonkey changes that—it monitors Reddit in the background, categorizes conversations by buyer intent, scores every match, and notifies you when hot leads appear.
WHAT REDDIT SCOUT PRO BY PLUGMONKEY DOES
Reddit Scout Pro is a Chrome extension that monitors Reddit for keywords you care about, automatically categorizes every matching post and comment by buyer intent (Solution Request, Money Talk, Pain Point, Comparison, Recommendation), and scores each match from 0-100. High-scoring matches trigger desktop notifications so you can engage while the conversation is still fresh.
Perfect for SaaS founders monitoring Reddit for product mentions and competitor discussions, marketers finding high-intent conversations to engage with, sales teams discovering warm leads asking for solutions, indie hackers validating ideas by tracking problem discussions, brand managers monitoring brand mentions and sentiment, content marketers finding trending topics and pain points, customer success teams catching support-related conversations, growth hackers identifying new acquisition channels on Reddit, community managers tracking relevant subreddit discussions, and anyone who wants to find the right Reddit conversations at the right time.
HOW IT WORKS: MONITOR, CATEGORIZE, ENGAGE
Simple Setup That Just Works
No Reddit API keys, no OAuth login, no technical setup required:
Add keywords you want to monitor (e.g., "project management tool", "Notion alternative")
Optionally create subreddit groups to focus your search
The extension scans Reddit in the background while Chrome is open
Get notified when high-intent conversations are found
Open the dashboard to view, filter, and save the best leads
That's it. Professional Reddit monitoring made simple.
Intelligent Intent Categorization
Our intent classification engine analyzes every matching post and comment using curated pattern dictionaries:
Solution Request: "looking for", "anyone recommend", "best tool for", "alternative to" — people actively seeking products Money Talk: "willing to pay", "budget", "pricing", "too expensive" — people discussing spending and value Pain Point: "frustrated with", "doesn't work", "struggling to", "keeps crashing" — people expressing problems your product could solve Comparison: "X vs Y", "better than", "switch from", "pros and cons" — people actively evaluating options Recommendation: "I recommend", "game changer", "been using" — people sharing product experiences General Discussion: Default category for general mentions without specific intent
A single post can match multiple categories. "Looking for a cheaper Notion alternative" triggers Solution Request + Money Talk + Comparison simultaneously.
Intent Scoring System (0-100)
Every match gets a numerical score so you can prioritize your time:
Category Weight (max 55 pts): Solution Request = 30, Money Talk = 25, Pain Point = 20, Comparison = 15, Recommendation = 10 Recency Bonus (0-15 pts): Posted < 1 hour ago = 15, < 6 hours = 10, < 24 hours = 5 Engagement Bonus (0-15 pts): Low comments = 10 (less competition), Low upvotes = 5 (fresh content) Question Bonus (0-5 pts): Title contains a question mark Length Bonus (0-10 pts): Detailed posts (500+ chars) = 10, Medium posts (200+ chars) = 5
Score ranges: 0-29 Low, 30-49 Medium, 50-69 Good, 70-100 Hot Lead
