Best Reddit tool round-ups, all in one place.
Each list covers one job properly rather than every tool that has a website. Here is what goes into them, and what keeps a tool out.
Six lists, six different jobs
A round-up is only useful if it is about one job. These lists split the market by what you are trying to do: hear Reddit fast, run broader Reddit social listening, track a brand across the web, or find a free starting point before you spend anything.
The Reddit monitoring list ranks tools by comment coverage and how quickly an alert reaches you. The two social listening lists, paid and free, weigh breadth against price. The startup list is for a team without a budget line for listening, and the brand tracking list is for comms teams who report upwards. The marketers’ list covers tools that help you plan and research on Reddit as well as watch it.
We make one of these tools, so each list says where we belong and where something else is the better buy. If you want the wider picture of what social listening is before you choose, start there.

Three things, and a tool has to manage all of them. It has to still be running, which is a lower bar than it sounds in this market. It has to be something a small team can actually buy without a sales call. And it has to do the job the list is about, rather than mention it on a features page.
We include ourselves on lists where we belong and leave ourselves off the ones where we do not. A round-up with the publisher at number one every time is an advert wearing a list's clothing, and everyone can tell.
Where a tool beats us at something, the list says which thing and why. That is more useful to you and it costs us nothing worth keeping.
Lists narrow it down. A week of real alerts decides it.
Whichever list brought you here, the test is the same: add the phrase you care about and see what actually turns up in your channel.
