An all-in-one suite: publishing, inbox, analytics and listening for a whole social team.

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. Per-seat pricing with listening as an add-on makes it expensive for a small team that only wants to hear about buyers. Listening reports trends and sentiment rather than flagging the one post asking for what you sell.

The short version

Right for social teams that publish and report at scale. Overkill if your goal is finding leads.
