ShipScore = the CENTS composite. C = control vs gatekeepers · E = barriers (high is good) · N = proven demand · T = income detached from hours · S = reach

At $69/mo (assumed category price), you need 1,208 subscribers for a $1M/yr pace.

Nearest tracked rivals on that curve:

• Subreddit Signals — Verified $40k MRR doing exactly this — proven product-market fit and head start on the same buyer.
• GummySearch — Established Reddit audience-research tool with loyal indie/B2B following and broad keyword-tracking coverage.
• F5Bot — Free Reddit keyword alerting sets price anchor near zero for the core alert feature.

• Subreddit Signals at verified $40k MRR proves B2B marketers pay recurringly for Reddit lead alerts.
• 0 of the tracked verified-revenue peers stall under $2k MRR — small sample, but no evidence of a revenue ceiling.
• Zero Reddit demand signals found for these keywords — buyer pain is not visibly self-reported, so evidence rests on one competitor's revenue.
• Corpus similarity is noisy (Flightview, Visby are unrelated), so comparable set is effectively n=1.

• Reddit API pricing/terms changed catastrophically in 2023 and can again; margins and access are not yours.
• Automated reply/outreach features risk account bans and violate Reddit's self-promotion norms.
• Alerting is a weekend clone; the only moat is data enrichment or workflow lock-in.
• Single incumbent with 12+ months of SEO and community trust in a niche buyer pool.

• Reddit Data API pricing/terms — A rate-limit or per-call price hike makes the unit economics negative overnight.
• Reddit anti-spam/self-promotion enforcement — Mass bans of tool-driven accounts destroy the lead-engagement value prop.
• Reddit shipping native keyword alerts / Pro tools — Free first-party feature collapses willingness to pay for third-party monitoring.

• Cannot see Subreddit Signals' churn, CAC, or whether its $40k MRR comes from alerts or audience research.
• Cannot verify current Reddit API license cost or whether commercial monitoring is permitted at your volume.
• Cannot tell how much of the market is served free by F5Bot-class tools versus paying.

Scores judge the market and business model — not your ability to execute. Verified MRR = independently tracked revenue; reviews/upvotes = platform-reported. Judged 2026-08-02.

Sell qualified, CRM-ready buying-intent leads with drafted, subreddit-native replies — not raw keyword alerts.

Cheapest next step: Read Reddit's current Data API commercial terms and pricing, then DM 15 B2B founders already posting about Reddit lead gen with a $69/mo pre-sale offer.

Business-model variations of this idea, engineered to beat 5.2 — different vertical, audience, model, or wedge. Same harsh scale.
