Competitor keywords
Mark a keyword as a competitor and it is scanned every 6 hours instead of hourly, so watching a rival costs less than watching yourself.
Competitor monitoring
Hear what people say about your competitors.
Add a competitor's name as a keyword and Overhear searches six sources for it every 6 hours. Complaints about them and threads asking for an alternative are where your reply counts most.
Switching happens in public
People say they are fed up with a tool before they cancel it, usually in a post the vendor never sees.
Comparison threads move fast
A thread asking which of two tools to pick collects its answers in a day or two. Find it a week later and the choice is made.
Checking by hand doesn't scale
Searching every rival on every platform each morning is an hour nobody has.
How Overhear does it
Complaints and buyers stand out
Claude tags complaints, bug reports and people looking for a tool, so a rival's unhappy customer is easy to spot.
Vendor posts labelled
A rival's own pages and its alternative-to-you posts get the type Competitor and are never mistaken for buyers.
Drafted replies
Draft reply answers what the person asked first, says plainly that you work on the product, and links your site once. Overhear never posts for you.
AI answers (beta)
See which competitors ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Perplexity recommend for your buyers' questions, and the sites they cite.
What it costs
One competitor keyword on all six sources at the default cadence: about 840 credits a month, $1.40 at the $10 pack rate.
Prepaid credits, no subscription, no keyword cap. Credits never expire and a failed search costs nothing.
Questions
Is it fair to reply in a thread about a competitor?
Answer the question first and say who you are. The drafted reply does both; a reply that only pitches gets ignored or removed.
How many competitors can I track?
As many as you like. There is no keyword cap: each keyword costs the credits of the searches it runs.
Does Overhear watch competitors' websites or ads?
No. It listens to public conversations on X, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, Hacker News and the web, not to competitors' own sites.
