Do I need a Reddit account?

No. We read public Reddit search results only.

Is this the official Reddit API?

No. We use public JSON search endpoints. No OAuth and no Reddit login on your behalf.

Heuristic only: posts from “looking for” style searches rank higher than generic matches. Use judgment before outreach.

Phrases like “best” and “alternative” often return listicles and comparisons. You can enable them in the form for a wider search.

Tool

Surface recent threads that sound like real buying or hiring demand for your keyword, not random mentions. Usually ready in under ten seconds.

How it works

A service, a category, or a rough idea. Plain language is totally fine.

You choose which Reddit search phrases to use (defaults skip the noisiest ones). Each phrase is sorted by recency before we merge.

Duplicates removed; each thread gets a simple high, medium, or low demand tier.

FAQ

Short answers, same voice as the rest of the site.

Do I need a Reddit account?: No. We read public Reddit search results only.
Is this the official Reddit API?: No. We use the same public JSON search endpoints your browser can load. No OAuth and no Reddit login on your behalf.
How do you score demand?: Heuristic only: posts found via “looking for …” style queries are labeled higher than generic “best …” matches. Use judgment before outreach.
Why are some search phrases unchecked by default?: “Best …” and “alternative …” often surface roundups and comparisons instead of someone asking for a solution right now. Turn them on when you want a wider, messier sample.
Can I use this for cold DMs?: Follow Reddit’s rules and each subreddit’s norms. SubSnag is a research aid, not permission to spam.
