How we build these

Each tool runs on data we collect for our own service or on public sources. AI citation counts cover the buyer-style questions we track for our clients' niches, Jan 9, 2026 to Nov 6, 2026, so they lean toward the markets our clients sell in. On the subreddit data pages a count under 50 shows as "under 50", and the subreddit list leaves out anything cited fewer than 3 times. Each tool page gives its own method and the date its data was read, and the full method covers the citation data.

Frequently asked questions

Are these Reddit tools really free?

Yes. None of the tools on this page asks for an email, an account or a card. We also sell a done-for-you Reddit marketing service for $1,000 a month, for people who would rather not do this themselves.

Which Reddit tool should I start with?

Start with the subreddit finder if you do not know where your buyers are. Use the best time to post tool once you have picked a community. Use the prompt generator if your question is whether AI answers mention your brand at all.

Where do the numbers come from?

Most come from our AI-answer tracking and delivery database, updated on the dates shown above. The most popular list comes from Reddit's own listing and the posting times from public top posts. The ads calculator uses Reddit's published guidance and says when it was read.

Can an AI assistant use this data?

Yes. Our free MCP server gives assistants two tools, one to match a product to subreddits and one to look up a single subreddit's numbers. The setup is on the MCP server page.
