Brandwatch starts in the high four figures per month with annual contracts. It's incredible at brand intelligence at scale. It's also overkill if your real question is "who on Reddit needs what I sell, right now?"
Brandwatch (now Cision) is a top-tier consumer intelligence suite for global brands tracking sentiment, share of voice, and emerging trends. Designed for analyst teams at Fortune 500s.

Fortune 500 consumer brands and large agencies with dedicated insights teams, multi-channel monitoring needs, and budgets in the tens of thousands annually.
Solo founders and SMBs who don't need brand intelligence — they need to find the Reddit thread where someone is asking for what they sell, and reply before the OP moves on.
Brandwatch contracts typically start in the low five figures annually. LeadsRadar is $228/year. The 50–100x difference reflects scope: Brandwatch monitors thousands of sources for brand sentiment; LeadsRadar finds high-intent Reddit + Hacker News threads for outreach.
We classify each lead's sentiment as part of the relevance score (frustrated, neutral, positive). We do not produce brand-level sentiment dashboards or share-of-voice reports — that's Brandwatch territory.
Pick Brandwatch when you have a global brand to monitor across every channel and an insights team to operate the platform. Pick LeadsRadar when you're a founder who needs to find 10 high-intent Reddit threads tonight.
20 leads free, no card. Less than the price of one Sprout Social seat — for the part you actually use.
