Before you start

Reddit monitoring,
answered.

Can I get alerts when something changes on Reddit?

Yes. A Monocrawl monitor checks Reddit on your schedule and compares each check with the last, so you hear about posts and comments that mention you, subreddit growth and posts taking off rather than the same results again.

Do I need a Reddit account?

No. Monitors read public Reddit data through your Monocrawl key. You do not need a Reddit account, app or API approval.

How far back does a Reddit monitor go?

A monitor starts from its first check and reports new posts and comments after that. It does not backfill older threads. To pull older posts, use Reddit search in the API with its time filter.

How often can a Reddit monitor run, and what does it cost?

Every 15 minutes, hourly, every 6 or 12 hours, daily or weekly. Watching a Reddit keyword search costs 1 credit a check: about 30 credits a month daily, 720 credits hourly. Every account gets 1,000 free credits a month, and a cap on each monitor keeps spending predictable.

Do I need to write code?

No. Build a monitor in the dashboard and send alerts to Slack, Discord or a webhook. If you prefer code, monitors are also available through the API and MCP.
