Real-time social listening across six networks, with keyword alerts, conversation tracking, and AI context analysis on paid plans.
About KWatch.io
KWatch.io is a real-time social listening service for monitoring keywords across LinkedIn, X, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, and Hacker News. It sends alerts by email when a monitored keyword appears, while paid tiers expand source limits and add capabilities such as AI context analysis, saved results, filtering, Slack notifications, API access, and webhooks. Teams can also track specific Reddit or Hacker News conversations and receive an alert when a new comment appears. The service is suited to finding sales signals, collecting product feedback, watching competitor mentions, following market topics, responding to customer complaints, and measuring campaign impact. The free plan is useful for testing Reddit and Hacker News monitoring, but it excludes the other listed networks, conversation tracking, AI analysis, filtering, and integrations. Essential broadens coverage and adds AI analysis; Business is the first listed tier with API, webhook, Slack, bulk import, and team management. Enterprise raises alert and conversation limits and adds advanced support, while agencies can request a custom multi-client plan.
