A better Keyworddit alternative, with a real free tier
Keyworddit gives you a frequency list of keywords inside a subreddit. Useful, but light. SubredditAnalyzer gives you the keywords and the context - who asks them, when they get answered, and which posts about them performed. If you are doing content marketing on Reddit, you need the context as much as the list.
SubredditAnalyzer is a strong Keyworddit alternative because it combines the same audience discovery with hour-by-hour engagement heatmaps, mod strictness scoring, and a permanent free tier - so you can validate a subreddit before you spend a dollar.
Start free - no cardWhat each tool does
Keyworddit is a free, no-login tool that returns the most common multi-word phrases in a subreddit, with rough monthly search volume from Google. It works for any subreddit with over 10,000 subscribers.
We start with the same keyword extraction, then layer on engagement data, post format breakdowns, and the timing of when those keywords trend - so you know what to write and when to post it. Plus you can save searches, track multiple subs, and export with filters.

Why teams move from Keyworddit to SubredditAnalyzer
Keywords without context are noise
Keyworddit hands you a long list. SubredditAnalyzer ranks the keywords by what actually drives engagement, so you know which ones to write about first.
You write content, not lists
We surface the question forms, the long-tail phrasings, and the post formats that performed for each keyword. That is what turns into a draft.
You want to time the publish
We tell you when posts using your target keyword get the most engagement, by hour and day of week.
You track many subs
Run the same keyword across every sub on your list and see where it lands best. Keyworddit is one sub at a time with no saved history.
What to look for in a Reddit research tool
Whether you pick SubredditAnalyzer or something else, these are the six things that separate a useful tool from a vanity dashboard.
Common objections, answered honestly
Things people say before they try it - and the honest answers.
I already know which subreddits I want to post in.
The heatmap is still useful. Knowing a sub exists and knowing when it is active enough to push a post to the front page are different things. The 168-cell grid takes 30 seconds to read and often moves publish time by 6-8 hours.
I do not have budget for another SaaS tool.
The free tier is permanent. One sub tracked, no card, no timer. You only pay when you want more subs or faster refresh. Many users run full campaigns on the free plan for months.
I am already comfortable with my current workflow.
Fair. If your current tool is working and you are hitting the right windows, there is no urgency. But if you are getting posts removed or struggling to time publishes, a 5-minute free signup will show you the mod score and heatmap before you commit to anything.
Reddit is too unpredictable for any tool to be useful.
True that individual posts can spike randomly. But engagement windows, mod behavior, and keyword trends are statistically stable over 30-day windows. The tool does not predict viral - it removes the avoidable failures.
If you only need one reason
Keyworddit is (or was) a solid tool. We built SubredditAnalyzer because we wanted something that combines the research with the timing, in one place, with a free tier that lets you ship a campaign before paying. Track your first sub in under a minute and see if it fits.
Keyworddit vs SubredditAnalyzer FAQ
What people ask before switching from Keyworddit.
Is the keyword data live?+−
Yes. We refresh tracked subs daily on free, hourly on paid plans. Keyword extraction runs against the most recent post window so the list reflects current language.

Up to 500 unique multi-word phrases per subreddit, with frequency, volume estimate, and average post engagement.
Can I export the keyword list?+−
Yes. CSV on every plan, JSON and webhook on paid plans.

Yes. You can filter the list with include and exclude rules so the export only contains the language relevant to your niche.
