Competitor monitoring for the moment someone looks for an alternative.
Add your competitors as keywords. KeywordWatchr watches Reddit, X, Facebook groups and the web and sends you each new post that names them, so you are there when somebody compares or switches.
What a competitor alert watches
The same alert as for your own brand, with a competitor's name in it and its own filters per source.
Every source you choose
Reddit, X, Facebook groups and the web, each as an alert of its own, with its own filters and exclusion words.
Narrowed to buying moments
Require two terms at once: the competitor and “alternative”, “vs” or “switch”. You get the comparisons, not every passing mention.
One folder for your competitors
Folders keep competitor alerts apart from your brand alerts. The dashboard shows one folder at a time without hiding the rest.
Exclusion words
Leave out the competitor's own announcements, job posts or anything else that is noise to you.
Delivered where you work
Every match is in your dashboard as soon as it is found. Email digests work on every plan, Slack and webhooks on Pro and Business. Daily delivery is on Pro and Business, weekly and monthly on every plan.
Threads where people compared providers

Set up in three steps
One alert per competitor and source. Start with the source where your customers ask for advice.
- Step 1
Enter the competitor
Its product name or its domain. Add “alternative” or “vs” as a second term to get only the comparisons.
- Step 2
Choose the source
Reddit, X, a Facebook group or the web. Narrow Reddit to the subreddits of your market.
- Step 3
Pick where it lands
Email on every plan, Slack or your own webhook on Pro and Business. Weekly or monthly, and daily on Pro and Business.
Frequently Asked Questions
What people want to know before they set anything up.
Which keywords work best for competitors?
The competitor's product name and its domain. Together with a second term such as “alternative”, “vs” or “switch” you get the threads where people decide.
Is it all right to monitor competitors?
Yes. KeywordWatchr reads public posts only, the same posts anyone can read on Reddit, X, in a public group or on the web.
Can I see competitor mentions next to my own?
Yes. Put them in separate folders. The dashboard shows one folder or all of them, and nothing is hidden either way.
Can competitor mentions go to their own Slack channel?
Yes, on Pro and Business. Each alert picks where it delivers, so competitor alerts can post into a channel of their own.
How many competitors can I watch?
As many as your alerts allow. Each competitor on each source is one alert, so three competitors on Reddit and X are six alerts.
Can I see an example?
Yes. The Brand Radar pages show competitor alerts at work for real brands, with the threads they found. Open the Brand Radar.
The next “alternative to” thread could name your competitor.
Start with one competitor on one source. 14 days free, 3 alerts, every Pro feature, no credit card.
