   Highly recommend for anyone to monitor keywords

   I use it every day. F5Bot is amazing at notifying for specific keywords. The only downside is that it doesn't have context around your keywords, so you will get more emails with keywords than expected. It really depends on your keywords and how you monitor them. Overall it's a high quality monitoring service.

   👍 Pros:    Free to use|High quality|Reliable

   Pretty useful little tool for catching reddit mentions :)

   Easy to setup and forget, would definitely recommend

   F5Bot is awesome. Compared to similar services, it delivers notifications in nearly real-time. I get notified about online discussions mentioning my product as they happen, not a day later.

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2025)

  Hmm any plans on integrating it with Discord instead of Slack? Also, aware of https://f5bot.com/? - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• SEO tools I used to grow my sites to 20k+ visitors/month

  The pitch for f5bot is simple - as they say, it is a service that will help you to "Get an email when you're mentioned online!". - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• How to Successfully Promote and Market an API

  Sign up for F5Bot and set up keyword monitoring for your Problem space across Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters. For example, if you're building a payments API, setup monitoring on "Payments API", "Stripe", "payments via API", "API for Payments", and anything else your buyer might be searching for. Don't be overly pushy when replying to these threads. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: To those with successful browser extension(s), how did you grow it?

  > I am not sure if they're literally reading all the HN comments or doing that in some automated I use f5bot[0] and have notifications set up for "supabase". It helps that supabase is a unique word so I don't get many false-positives. [0] https://f5bot.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• How I promoted my open source repo to 6k stars in 6 months

  Another thing I like to do for continued marketing on Reddit is reply to comments of other related posts, for example where developers are asking about SaaS templates or SaaS app resources. I do this by using a free service called F5Bot, which sends me keyword notification emails for terms like “saas starter” or “saas boilerplate” on reddit. Then I can go to these posts and see if mentioning Open SaaS is relevant... - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

  The only tool that seems capable of monitoring Linkedin is https://kwatch.io , so if you manage to achieve that too it's impressive. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Founders, what was the major sourcing channel in your first 100 users?

  I used https://kwatch.io and jumped into the relevant conversations to mention my product. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Show HN: Get updates from your favourite Hacker News threads or comments

  That sounds like a great project, congrats and thanks for sharing! So far I've been using https://kwatch.io to track Hacker News conversations in real-time, but the fact that your program can be deployed on my own server is appealing :). - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Managing my motivation as a solo dev

  For my SaaS I use https://kwatch.io which is equivalent to F5bot. The free plan is less generous, but on the paid plans you can monitor Twitter, Reddit, Quora... These days getting organic traffic from Google seems to be harder and harder, so such platforms are good customer acquisition alternative solutions in my opinion. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Show HN: Crowdlens – AI-powered social listening

  How does this solution compare to platforms like https://kwatch.io or brand24 for hacker news monitoring? Does it monitor hacker news in real time? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
