Quick start
How to research Reddit for marketing or product
Paste a topic, get ranked public posts. No Reddit login, no signup for the free tier.
02
Pick sort and timeframe
Relevance for discovery, top for high-signal threads, new for fresh chatter. Narrow the window when you want recent voice-of-customer.
03
Read the post list
Titles, subreddits, scores, and comment counts from public Reddit search.
Why use it
Public Reddit search for audience research
Use Reddit when you need unfiltered switching stories and competitor chatter — not survey-scale sampling.
Audience language
Threads show how people describe problems, alternatives, and tradeoffs — useful copy and messaging research.
Competitor mentions
Search a product name or “switched from X” phrase to find comparison threads without scraping Reddit yourself.
Same API underneath
This page calls GET /v1/reddit/search with Cloudflare Turnstile. Paid keys unlock pagination and volume.
Query tips
What to type for useful Reddit results
Vague one-word queries return noise. Concrete phrases return threads you can skim.
Switching phrases
“moved from Asana”, “switching from Notion”, “alternative to HubSpot” — these pull decision stories, not ads.
Feature gaps
Pair your category with “wish”, “missing”, or “why doesn’t” to surface unmet needs in public posts.
Brand + niche
Add a niche keyword when the brand name is noisy — e.g. “Linear project management” instead of “Linear” alone.
Free tool
Good for spot checks, not listening pipelines
Built for a quick Reddit search. Continuous monitoring belongs on an API key.

FAQ
Reddit research FAQ
What does this Reddit research tool do?
It searches public Reddit posts for your query and returns titles, subreddits, scores, and comment counts — the same data as GET /v1/reddit/search.
Do I need a Reddit account?
No. The tool uses Social Fetch’s production Reddit search endpoint. Public posts only.
What queries work best?
Concrete phrases: brand names, “switching from X”, feature complaints, or niche + product. One-word queries are usually too noisy.
What do sort and timeframe mean?
Sort: relevance, top, or new. Timeframe: all, day, week, month, or year. Same filters as the paid API.
Can I search inside one subreddit?
Not on this page. Use GET /v1/reddit/subreddits/search with an API key when you already know the community.
Why only one page of results?
The free tool returns the first page. Paginate with cursor on the API when you need more.
Are empty searches charged on the API?
On the paid API, a completed search is billed even with zero posts. This free page does not charge credits.
How is this different from Reddit’s own search?
Normalized JSON for sheets, dashboards, or agents — without Reddit auth or pagination yourself.
Can I automate competitor monitoring?
Not from this page. Schedule GET /v1/reddit/search with your API key — see /guides/reddit-product-research.
Do I need a Reddit API key for this tool?
No. This page uses Social Fetch. For Reddit OAuth vs sfk_ keys, see /guides/how-to-get-a-reddit-api-key.
