Overview

ForumScout is a social listening tool that finds leads and tracks brand mentions across forums, blogs, news sites, and social media in real-time.

The platform continuously scans multiple sources, such as Reddit, Twitter (X), LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Bluesky, Hacker News, forums, and news sites, to surface conversations relevant to your brand, competitors, or industry. Its AI filtering engine goes beyond keyword matching, analyzing context and sentiment to reduce noise and deliver actionable mentions. Users can create scouts (keyword trackers), receive real-time notifications, and monitor competitor discussions, customer pain points, or product recommendations.

ForumScout’s Growth and Business plans unlock deeper capabilities like audience analytics, sentiment analysis, and competitive insights. Users can see emotion breakdowns, trust metrics, and negative mention reports, turning raw chatter into clear signals for sales, support, and product development. Whether you want to track complaints, identify potential customers, monitor industry events, or spy on competitors, ForumScout positions itself as your personal intelligence agency for online discussions.

For businesses tired of overpaying for clunky social listening tools, ForumScout delivers speed, accuracy, and affordability, helping you join the right conversations at the right time.

Since the initial launch in September 2025, ForumScout has grown to 2500+ users! 🤯

Here are some of the most recent updates:

- AI now dynamically tags and sorts your mentions for 'Buyer Intent', 'Feature Requests', 'Bug Reports', and more
- Competitive intelligence finds posts that highlight your competitor's weaknesses
- Google Sheets and Webhook integrations now available
- More accurate AI filtering results to surface higher quality leads

The next major feature I plan to add is a post scheduling feature where the AI can take all of your mention data and intelligently plan out the next 30 days of content on a rolling schedule. What are your thoughts on this? Would you find it useful? Should I focus on something else? 🤔

A huge thank you for all the support so far.

Please add any feature requests in the comments. I can build very quick :)
