Our focus
Buying-intent search
No cold databases, no guessing. SocialStinger surfaces live, public conversations where people are asking for a product or service right now.
Intent scoring, not keyword alerts
Keyword alerts fire on every mention. SocialStinger scores each post by how ready the person is to buy, so you see buyers first.
Budget, competitors and fit
Every lead carries a category, stated budget, competitors mentioned and buyer type — so “CRM for agencies, leaving HubSpot” is one filter away.
Public, permitted sources
Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky, GitHub and Stack Overflow — only posts people chose to make public.
Manual search vs. SocialStinger
How is SocialStinger different from searching yourself?
Stop jumping between subreddits, forums and feeds. SocialStinger replaces tab-hopping with one ranked feed of people who are ready to buy.
Without SocialStingerManual approach
Searching by hand, every day
Checking subreddits, forums and feeds — reading hundreds of posts to find one real buyer, usually after someone else already replied.
“Anyone know a good agency for this kind of thing…”
Reddit · No budget, no details · 3 days late
“Ask HN: how do you find your first clients?”
Hacker News · General chatter
“lol our CRM is held together with tape”
Bluesky · Joke, not a buyer
- Hours every week scrolling and refreshing
- Keyword alerts fire on every mention, not every buyer
- No idea who has budget, who fits, who's just venting
Automated
With SocialStingerChecked every hour
One feed, ranked by buying intent
Only real requests — filtered, scored and tagged with category, budget and location, then sent to your inbox.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Where do the leads come from?
Public posts on Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky, GitHub and Stack Overflow. We only use posts people chose to make public, accessed through each site's permitted methods.
Do you scrape Facebook, Nextdoor or LinkedIn?
No, never. We only use public posts from sites that allow it, through their permitted access methods.
How fresh are the leads?
Sources are checked every hour, and new posts are usually searchable within about two hours of being published.
Who is SocialStinger for?
B2B and SaaS teams looking for people who need their product or are unhappy with a competitor; consumer app makers looking for people asking for an app like theirs or fed up with a rival app; and agencies and freelancers looking for clients posting projects with budgets.
Will SocialStinger post or DM people for me?
No. SocialStinger finds and ranks the conversations; you decide who to reach out to and reply yourself, following each community's rules.
How much does it cost?
There's a free plan (leads once they're 24 hours old, 1 search, daily digest) and Pro at $19/month (leads the moment they're found, 10 searches, hourly and urgent alerts, unlimited reply drafts, competitor apps, CSV export). Monthly, cancel anytime. No credit card needed for Free.
Someone just asked for what you sell. Will you be the first to reply?
SocialStinger watches public communities around the clock and tells you who's ready to buy — from software teams and consumer apps to agencies and freelancers.
