Find Stripe-Paying Buyers in r/SaaS Before They Sign Up for a Competitor

The subreddits where founders ask 'what should I use for X' are where buyers shortlist tools. Be in the first comment, not the fifth.

The problem

When a founder asks r/SaaS 'what's the cheapest way to do email validation' or 'who has good DMARC reports,' three things happen: the top reply gets the click, the post gets indexed by Google, and the asker quietly signs up for whatever the top reply recommended. If you're not in that thread within 2 hours, you lose.

Manually polling Reddit for these threads is unsustainable. They surface at random hours. Mentionly watches the subreddits 24/7 and pings you when one of your keywords lands in a thread, with the OP karma and the comment count so you can triage.

How Mentionly solves it

1
Add your category keywords (e.g., 'DMARC parser,' 'email validator,' your competitor names).
2
We watch r/SaaS, r/Entrepreneur, r/sysadmin, r/cybersecurity, and your other ICP subreddits in real time.
3
Reply within 2 hours with the helpful answer — usually wins the thread, the click, and the signup.
