> Most B2B marketing tools track what people say about your brand. Crowd Scope finds unnamed prospects describing your exact problem, with a name, a quote and a date on every result.

*For B2B marketing and growth teams*

## The B2B Marketing Tool That Finds People, Not Mentions

Crowd Scope scans Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Discord, Hacker News and 3 other public platforms for people describing your exact problem, in their own words, with a name and a date on every result.

## Built for finding prospects, not tracking your own name

Six things a growth or product marketing team gets from Crowd Scope that a brand-monitoring dashboard was never built to do.

### Problem-first search

Query in plain language, "product managers complaining about Notion search, last 30 days", instead of tracking a brand keyword.

### Named results, not scores

Every match returns a username, an exact quote, a source URL and a date. No aggregated sentiment number standing in for a real person.

### 8 platforms, one query

Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Discord, Hacker News and 3 more searched in a single pass instead of one tab at a time.

### CRM-ready exports

Clay, Apollo, HubSpot and Notion integrations on paid tiers, plus a read-only API for teams building their own pipeline.

### 365-day historical depth

Paid plans search a full year back, so a segment you missed 8 months ago is still findable today.

### Saved searches, weekly digest

Save a query once and get new matches by email instead of rerunning the same search every Monday.

*Use case*

## Build a 300-lead list from complaints, not a cold list

A demand-gen team runs a single plain-language query for people describing the exact billing friction their product removes. Instead of a purchased list of job titles, they get a list of named accounts already describing the problem, each with a quote and a date to open the first email with.

- One query replaces a day of manual scrolling across Reddit and X threads
- Every row exports straight to Clay or Apollo with the source quote attached
- Results are re-checked weekly through a saved search, not run from scratch

*Use case*

## Validate a new ICP segment before spending on ads

A founder testing a new segment does not need a survey panel. They run a Crowd Scope query for the pain point their next feature solves, read 40 to 50 real posts from that segment, and walk into the next investor update with named examples instead of a hypothesis.

- 30-day historical depth on the free plan is enough for a first pass
- Quotes come with platform and date, so the evidence holds up in a review
- No design or research team required to run the first query

*Use case*

## Competitive intelligence from what buyers actually say

A product marketing manager preparing a battlecard skips the brand-monitoring dashboard and queries what people say about a competitor's onboarding, unprompted, on Reddit and Hacker News. The result is a set of dated, sourced complaints the sales team can quote directly instead of a generic sentiment chart.

- Historical depth up to 365 days surfaces recurring complaints, not one-off noise
- Every quote keeps its source URL for sales enablement decks
- Newsroom tier covers 5 seats, so PMM and sales share the same saved searches

## Crowd Scope vs. brand-monitoring tools

| Criterion | Crowd Scope | Brandwatch / Sprout / Mention |
|---|---|---|
| Finds unnamed prospects (not brand mentions) | Yes, by default | No, requires a tracked keyword |
| Named results with quote, URL and date | Every result | Aggregated sentiment score |
| Free tier with no credit card | Yes, 3 investigations/mo | Rare, mostly demo-gated |
| CRM export (Clay, Apollo, HubSpot) | Included on paid tiers | Not the core workflow |
| Entry price for a paid seat | $49/mo | Typically $400+/mo, sales call required |

## Questions B2B marketing teams ask before trying Crowd Scope

### What makes Crowd Scope different from a social listening tool?

Social listening tools like Brandwatch or Mention tell you when someone mentions your brand by name. Crowd Scope does the opposite: it finds people who have never heard of you but are describing the exact problem you solve, across Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Discord, Hacker News and 3 other public platforms. Every result carries a username, an exact quote, a source URL and a date, not a sentiment score.

### Do I need a marketing team to run this, or can one person use it?

One person can run it. A founder validating an ICP segment types a plain-language query, reviews the results, and has a shortlist within the hour. A growth team running weekly outbound typically saves the query and gets a digest instead of repeating the search by hand.

### Can I export results into the CRM or outbound stack I already use?

Yes, on paid tiers. Crowd Scope connects to Clay, Apollo, HubSpot and Notion, and ships a read-only API for teams that want to pipe results into their own tooling. The free tier is for testing queries before you commit results to a workflow.

### Is the data actually public, or is Crowd Scope scraping private accounts?

Only public posts, comments and profiles across the 8 supported platforms. Crowd Scope does not access private groups, DMs or gated communities, and every result links back to the original public post so you can verify it yourself before reaching out.

### How long does it take to get a usable prospect list?

A first query typically returns results in under 2 minutes. Most of the time investment is in narrowing the query, not waiting on the tool: teams that start broad ("people complaining about CRM data entry") usually rerun the query once, narrower, before exporting.

### What is the real difference versus manually searching Reddit and X myself?

Manual search finds one platform at a time and loses the source when you copy a quote into a spreadsheet. Crowd Scope queries 8 platforms in one pass, keeps the username, URL and date attached to every result, and lets you save the query so new matches show up in a weekly digest instead of a repeated manual search.

### Does the free plan cover a real evaluation, or just a demo?

The free Notebook plan gives 3 investigations a month with up to 500 results each and 30 days of historical depth, enough to test 2 to 3 real ICP queries before deciding. Paid plans add 365-day depth, CRM integrations and higher volume per query.

## Find your next 50 prospects this week

No credit card for the free plan. Upgrade only once a query earns its keep.
