Choose Leadhoot if
You want the posts where someone is asking to buy, scored and delivered within a minute, without connecting your accounts or automating replies. Alerts arrive daily on the $49 plan, every 3 hours on $99 and hourly on $249, by Slack or Discord with no email, and Threads is not a source. A buyer asking on Reddit or X has often picked someone by the time a daily digest lands.
The short version
Pick it when buyers are spread across LinkedIn, TikTok and news too and a daily digest is fast enough. If speed or Threads matters, use a tool that alerts within minutes.
