Questions
What happens after I paste my URL?
You sign in with Google, Lidar reads your site and suggests subreddits, and you can edit the list before it starts. The first read runs straight away, so the first matches usually land within the hour.
What does it cost?
Every product starts with 7 free days and no card. After that it is €14 a month for one product, and bigger plans read more subreddits more often.
Do you message people for me?
No. You see their words and decide. Nothing is sent on your behalf, and you never connect a Reddit account.
How many matches will I get?
A handful a day for most products, and a short day when the niche is quiet. This is a high-intent, low-volume channel.
Is this only for developer tools?
No. It works anywhere people describe their problems in public, which on Reddit covers most products with a clear customer.
