What is Reddit Scout?
Reddit Scout Pro is a Chrome extension from PlugMonkey that monitors Reddit for keywords you define and surfaces relevant posts and comments in the background. It is built to help users find high-intent conversations faster by classifying results into buyer-intent categories such as Solution Request, Money Talk, Pain Point, Comparison, and Recommendation.
The tool scores each discovery from 0 to 100 using signals like category weight, recency, engagement, and detail level. That scoring is meant to help you prioritize the hottest leads first, while desktop alerts notify you when a result reaches a threshold score so you can act quickly.
It also includes on-page highlighting of tracked terms, subreddit grouping, a multi-tab dashboard for filtering and sorting, and saving tools for bookmarks, notes, and tags. The workflow is designed to run while Chrome is open, checking defined terms at set intervals and organizing findings for later follow-up.
Reddit Scout Pro is aimed at SaaS founders, marketers, sales teams, agencies, and indie hackers who want to monitor brand mentions, competitor discussions, problem statements, and purchase-intent conversations. In short, it is a monitoring and lead-finding tool for people who use Reddit as a source of market intelligence and outreach opportunities.

Frequently asked questions about Reddit Scout
What does Reddit Scout Pro do?
It monitors Reddit for keywords you choose, scans posts and comments in the background, categorizes results by buyer intent, scores each result from 0 to 100, and alerts you when high-value conversations appear.
How does the scoring system work?
Each finding is ranked using a mix of category weight, recency, engagement signals, and detail level. The score is meant to help you quickly separate casual mentions from conversations that are more likely to be useful leads.

Yes. It can send desktop notifications for hot discoveries, and the website says results that rank 50 or higher trigger alerts so you can respond while the discussion is still fresh.
What can I do with saved results?
You can bookmark discoveries, add notes, and tag items for follow-up. That makes it easier to turn raw Reddit findings into an organized lead list or research backlog.
