Scheduling, a shared inbox and reporting across every major network, used by social teams of every size.

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. It is built to publish and report, not to find buyers. Reddit is not a first-class source, streams show every keyword match, and nothing tells you which post is someone ready to buy.

The short version

Right if your job is running brand accounts. If your job is finding customers in conversations, you need a listening tool that scores intent.
