Their buyers are not only on Reddit
Redship watches Reddit and nothing else. Developer tools get asked about on Hacker News and GitHub; B2B on LinkedIn; consumer products on YouTube and TikTok.

Redship alternatives, ranked by fit (2026)
For most people leaving Redship because their market is bigger than Reddit, FishOut; for people who want to stay Reddit-only with more reply guard-rails, HotMention. Redship itself is a good, cheap Reddit tool — the reasons to leave are reach, seats and where alerts can go.
[01] WHY PEOPLE LOOK/ REDSHIP
One seat on Founder, three on Company
Redship’s $29 plan is one seat and its $49 plan is three, read from its pricing page on 20 October 2026. A small team outgrows that before it outgrows the keywords.
Email and Slack only
Both plans alert by email and Slack, with webhooks on Company. Teams living in Discord, Teams or Telegram have to bridge it themselves.

What app is that inbox in the video? It looks like it sorts by who is waiting longest.
