What is Reddit sentiment analysis?
Reading what people on Reddit say about something, and counting how many are happy, unhappy or neither.

- Step 2

Chatly reads the public posts and comments, sorts each comment into happy, unhappy or neither, and notes what it is about.
- Step 3

Free since 2021, and now $9 a month. Nobody warned us.

Still worth it for me. Bank sync alone saves me an hour a month.

Love this for us. Three years of my data and now it's behind a paywall.

At $9 it costs more than the other budgeting apps for the same job.

Who it’s for
Product and pricing teams
Read the reaction to a price change or a removed feature within days, and find out which part of the change people actually object to.
For example
People were angrier about losing their saved history than about the feature that went.
Brand teams after a launch
What owners praise, what they send it back for, and where opinion is turning, while there is still time to respond.
For example
Runners send the headphones back because the ear pads crack in the cold.
Founders sizing up a market
What Reddit says about the leaders before you build, and the complaint nobody has answered yet.
For example
Neither of the two biggest mattress brands is trusted on returns. That's the opening.
Frequently asked questions
Can I compare two brands?
Yes. Name both and every theme is split by brand, so you can see what people like about one and complain about in the other.
How accurate is it?
Each comment is read with the thread around it, so most slang and sarcasm come out right. It can still misread a joke, so every theme links to the comments behind it and you can check them yourself.
Which subreddits does it read?
Any public subreddit where the subject comes up. You can name the ones that matter, or let it find them, and the report lists every subreddit and thread count it used.
How far back can it go?
Choose the date range in the prompt: the week after a launch, a quarter, or a year for market research. Longer ranges read more threads and take longer.
Is the data public?
Yes. Only public posts and comments are read. Reddit changed who can collect its data in bulk in 2023, which closed some older free tools. Usernames appear only where a public comment is quoted, with a link to the thread it came from.
