Reddit Buyer Intent Firehose

Find Reddit posts and comments where people are actively looking for software, alternatives, services, or better ways to solve a problem.

What it does

• Searches Reddit sitewide or inside selected subreddits.
• Finds posts where people are asking what to buy, what to switch to, or what tool they should use.
• Tags intent types like alternative search, tool search, switching intent, service search, and workflow pain.
• Extracts the matched buyer-language snippet that triggered the row.
• Returns flat output that is easy to export into CSV, Sheets, Airtable, or lead research workflows.
• Uses Apify Proxy by default for cloud runs where Reddit blocks plain datacenter IPs.

Best fit

• founders looking for live demand
• agencies hunting public leads
• sales teams looking for replacement intent
• product marketers tracking switching language
