KWatch.io alternative with AI intent detection
KWatch.io monitors mentions. CatchIntent finds buyers. Our AI identifies purchase intent on Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Hacker News, and Bluesky.
Why teams switch from KWatch.io
Real challenges that lead people to look for alternatives
Mentions without intent classification
KWatch.io alerts you to keyword mentions but can't distinguish between someone looking to buy and casual conversation.
Broad but shallow coverage
KWatch.io covers many platforms but may lack the deep Reddit and Hacker News indexing needed for tech-focused lead generation.
Basic filtering options
Filtering relies on keywords and rules. Without AI, you still get noise that requires manual review.
No buying intent scoring
All alerts are treated equally. No AI scoring to help prioritize which conversations are most likely to convert.
General monitoring focus
Built for brand monitoring and social listening, not specifically optimized for lead generation and sales outreach.
Limited AI capabilities
Traditional keyword-based monitoring without the AI intent analysis that modern lead generation requires.
