About PostWatch

PostWatch is a social media analytics tool for people who post on Reddit and want to time their submissions. A user enters a subreddit name and receives an activity heatmap, recommended days and hours, and posting strategy notes based on an analysis of more than 500 real posts.

Subreddit reports include subscriber and activity figures, average score, the content type and title length that perform best, average upvotes and comments, and daily recommendations. The tagline also describes keyword monitoring across Reddit and Bluesky. Times are converted from UTC to the visitor's local timezone.

The first subreddit analysis is free with no signup. The site then promotes lifetime access for a one-time $9.99, and it suits marketers, founders and community managers who post regularly to Reddit and want data rather than guesses about when their audience is active.
