About TractionBooster
TractionBooster helps software makers find customers on Reddit. You describe who you sell to and what problem you solve, and in about 30 seconds a free report without signup shows real, recent conversations from people with that problem, along with the ideal customer profile, the subreddits where they talk, pain points, post ideas and a suggested next action such as where and how to reply.
Paid plans add continuous Reddit scans that surface a new traction opportunity every week, new posts and leads, AI-generated replies for each lead, real-time alerts, campaigns and Claude MCP access for Claude Code. Products can also be listed on a directory-style landing page that shows views and clicks, with verified domains getting a featured spot. The guidance leans toward adding genuine context and mentioning the product only when it fits.
It is a hosted service run by a solo developer, and support is handled directly by the maker rather than through tickets. Pro costs $20 per month for up to 5 active campaigns and Unlimited costs $50 per month for unlimited campaigns, with annual billing saving two months.
