Octolens
AI social listening for B2B SaaS teams. Tracks brand and competitor mentions across Reddit, X, LinkedIn, GitHub, Hacker News and more, and filters out the noise.
Starting price From $159/mo
Tool Information
Octolens (formerly Crowdlens) monitors mentions of your brand and competitors across more than 15 platforms, including Reddit, X, LinkedIn, GitHub, Hacker News, YouTube, TikTok, Bluesky, podcasts, newsletters and news. AI filtering scores each mention for relevance, sentiment and intent such as buying signals, bug reports and feature requests.
Mentions can be sent to Slack, email, webhooks or an API, and keyword tuning helps separate your brand from unrelated uses of the same word. It is built mainly for B2B SaaS founders, growth and marketing teams, developer relations and agencies.
