Which one fits you.

When F5Bot is the better choice

  • You want a free plan for a few keywords.
  • You need Reddit comments, Hacker News or Lobsters, not only Reddit posts.
  • You track many brand mentions. Gold covers 200 keywords.

When LeadFast is the better choice

  • You want buyers, not every mention. Each post is scored before it reaches you.
  • You would rather not write and tune keyword lists. LeadFast builds searches from your website and replaces the ones that stop working.
  • You want AI filtering without the Gold plan. F5Bot Gold costs $49.99/month or $549/year.
  • You want alerts in Telegram, a webhook or your coding agent through MCP.
