Octolens

What is Octolens?

Octolens is a B2B social listening tool that watches Reddit and a dozen other platforms (X, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Hacker News, Bluesky, and more) for mentions of your product, competitors, and keywords. Its main idea is AI filtering: instead of forwarding every keyword match, it reviews each post like a team member would and only alerts you to the ones that matter, routed to Slack, email, or a webhook.

Key Features

• AI mention filtering: Reviews each match and surfaces only relevant conversations, cutting the noise that plagues raw keyword alerts.
• 12+ platforms in one place: Reddit alongside X, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Hacker News, and news sources, all from one inbox.
• Full data access on every plan: API and webhook access are not gated behind an enterprise tier.
• Routed alerts: Send relevant mentions straight to Slack, email, or your own tools.

Is Octolens Worth It?

Octolens is a strong pick if you do B2B and want clean, cross-platform mention tracking with Reddit as a first-class source. The AI filtering genuinely reduces noise, and unlocking API and webhooks on every plan is rare at this price. The catch is cost: it starts at $119/mo with only a 7-day trial and no free plan, so if you just need basic Reddit keyword alerts, a cheaper Reddit-specific tool will do. For teams treating social listening as a real channel, it is well priced for what it covers.
