Reddit Gaps.
The live Reddit threads recommending your competitors — where your company is never mentioned. Found automatically, filtered for threads you can still act on, and tracked through to the AI answer that cites them.
Updated: August 2026
The problem
When a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity which tool to use, the answer is frequently assembled from Reddit threads where real people named real products. Those threads are already written. They're already being cited. And in most categories, your competitors are in them and you are not.
You can't fix that from your own website. The gap is in someone else's thread, and finding those threads by hand — across every competitor, every subreddit, every week — is not a job anyone actually does.
What Reddit Gaps shows you
A standing list, refreshed on every scan. Each row is one live thread where at least one tracked competitor is named and your domain is absent — with the engagement data that tells you whether it's worth your time.

Demo data shown. Real accounts see their own domain, their own competitor set, and live Reddit engagement counts.
- Upvotes and comment counts — pulled live, so you can tell a 400-upvote thread from a dead one.
- Thread age — how long ago it was posted, because a reply on a two-year-old thread does nothing.
- Which competitors are named — filterable, so you can work one rival at a time.
- Subreddit posting rules — the promo and karma constraints for that specific subreddit, before you write anything.
- Potential visibility — a rolled-up read on whether this week's thread supply is worth working.
Track the reply through to the citation
Finding the thread is half the job. The half nobody measures is whether the reply did anything. Check off a thread once you've commented and Monroya watches two outcomes for it.
Watching for AI answers that cite these threads.
- Cited by AI. Every prompt scan stores the URLs each provider cited. Those URLs are matched against your commented threads by Reddit post ID, so a short link, a mobile link, and a full permalink all resolve to the same thread. A match records the model and the prompt that produced it. This is the outcome that matters, and it's highlighted accordingly.
- In thread. The rescan re-reads flagged threads looking for your brand. If your reply landed and the thread now names you, the status flips without a separate scan.
What gets filtered out
A list of threads you can't post in is worse than no list. Every candidate passes these gates before it appears, and the excluded counts are shown at the bottom of the page.
| Filter | Rule | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Archived or locked | Excluded entirely | Reddit blocks new replies |
| Older than 180 days | Excluded | Nobody reads it, nothing cites it |
| 90–180 days old | Must show recent activity | Stale threads don't convert |
| No competitor named | Excluded | It isn't a gap, it's just a thread |
| You're already mentioned | Moves to Gaps Closed | The work is done |
| Already commented | Moves to tracking | Keeps the open list honest |
How the competitor set is derived
Monroya doesn't search Reddit for a category keyword and hope. It asks the providers your buyers use who they recommend in your category, takes the names that come back, normalizes them (stripping TLDs and suffixes so “Acme.io” and “Acme” match), and searches Reddit for those names round-robin so no single competitor eats the query budget.
Your manually tracked competitors are always included. The AI-derived names fill in the rivals you didn't know models were naming — the ones costing you answers you never saw.

Frequently asked questions
- What is Reddit Gaps?
- Reddit Gaps is a standing list of live Reddit threads in your category where competitors are recommended by name and your company is never mentioned. Monroya derives the competitor set from how AI assistants answer buyer questions about your category, then searches Reddit for those names and filters out threads you can't act on.
- Why does Reddit matter for AI visibility?
- Reddit is one of the most frequently cited domains in AI answers about software and services. When ChatGPT or Perplexity answers "what should I use for X", it often pulls from a Reddit thread where real users named specific tools. If your competitors are named in those threads and you aren't, the model has no reason to surface you.
- How does Monroya avoid recommending archived or locked threads?
- Every candidate is age-checked and status-checked before it's listed. Threads older than 180 days are dropped, threads between 90 and 180 days old must show recent activity, and archived or locked threads are excluded entirely. The excluded counts are shown on the page so you can see exactly what was filtered and why.
- Does Monroya post to Reddit for me?
- No. Monroya finds the thread, shows the subreddit's posting constraints, and drafts a reply you can edit. You post it yourself from your own account. Automated posting violates most subreddit rules and Reddit's terms.
- How does the AI-citation tracking work?
- Check off a thread once you've replied to it. On every following prompt scan, Monroya compares the URLs each provider cited against your commented threads, matching on the Reddit post ID so short links, mobile links, and permalinks all resolve to the same thread. A match records the model and the prompt and flags the thread as Cited by AI.
- Which plans include Reddit Gaps?
- Growth ($199/mo) includes the top 10 threads per scan without CSV export. Intelligence ($299/mo) includes every thread found plus CSV export. Starter ($79/mo) does not include Reddit Gaps. The 7-day free trial includes the full Intelligence-level experience.
