Forum monitoring tool that tracks niche community discussions
The short answer
A forum monitoring tool tracks discussions about your brand, products or competitors in the niche communities where reputation problems often start, from Reddit to specialist forums. EyeOut watches the forums it covers, Reddit, Hacker News and Lemmy, alongside Google News, Mastodon and Apple Podcasts twice an hour on every plan, reads each thread for sentiment, surfaces the communities where you are discussed, and, from Growth, fires an alert when a thread gains momentum. It is self-serve, from $39 per month billed yearly, with no annual lock-in.
Some of the most influential conversations about your brand happen in niche forums and communities, far from the big social networks. Forum monitoring brings those discussions into view, and EyeOut tracks mentions of your brand, products and competitors across forums and community sites twice an hour.
Each post and reply is scored for sentiment and theme, so you can see honest, in-depth feedback from the people who care most about your category. When a thread gains traction or turns negative, you get an alert first. Forums sit alongside Google News, Mastodon and Apple Podcasts in EyeOut, in one feed. Start watching forums today.
