Does Reddit have keyword alerts?

No. Reddit notifies you about replies, messages and posts you follow, but it cannot alert you when a keyword appears anywhere on the site. That is what a monitoring tool adds.

How fast do Reddit alerts arrive?

Real-time email, Slack and webhook alerts arrive within minutes of the post or comment going live. A daily digest waits for the hour you pick.

Do alerts include comments, or only posts?

Both. Most recommendation requests happen in comments, so a tool that only watches posts misses a large share of the threads worth answering.

Can I get the same alert by email and in Slack?

Yes. Each channel has its own switch, so you can keep a daily digest for yourself and send real-time alerts to your team's Slack channel.

Is there a free way to get Reddit alerts?

F5Bot has a free plan for personal use: 5 keywords, 10 alerts a day per keyword (20 in total), delivered within 2 hours. Personal use. It sends raw keyword matches with no relevance score.

How do I avoid getting too many alerts?

Raise the alert level to good or best matches, use exact matching on common words, and exclude the subreddits that never hold a buyer.

Testimonials

Loved by founders and marketers

RedShip is one of those rare products that feels instantly useful from day one. It turns Reddit from a noisy time-sink into a laser-focused acquisition channel. The setup is fast, the UI is clean, and the AI relevance scoring makes it obvious where to jump in. I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who wants to take Reddit marketing seriously in 2026.

Quentin Villard

A big thank you to Axel for Redship! It's hard to stay consistent on Reddit. I tried to be active on it several times, but I always gave up. I thought maybe it wasn't my platform to get used to. And now I'm actively using only Redship. It's a very useful service. If you're also having trouble getting used to and being consistent on Reddit, I highly recommend it.

Aziz Jaksil

Great tool for Reddit marketing. I ship a lot of small apps and I never really knew where to promote them without getting ignored or removed. With RedShip I found the right subreddits for each one, and the alerts are sharp: I get pinged on the threads where my app is actually the answer, not on every post that happens to contain a keyword.
