How he tells you from a namesake
Every post is read against one line about the brand. That's how a road in Leeds stays out of an invoicing app's feed. Fill in "What does it do?" and his notes get sharper.
Anything he rules out comes with the reason, so you can check his work. In the app, one click puts a post back and he learns from it on the next scan.
About the free check
Is it really free?
Yes. Reddit, Hacker News and Bluesky are free for us to search, so the check is free for you, up to three a day. No account, no card.
Can I check someone else's brand?
Yes. Any brand name works, and everything it finds is a public post. It's a quick way to see what people say about a competitor.
Why only three platforms?
X, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Threads bill us for every search, so they come with an account. The free plan includes 100 of those searches a month.
Do you keep what I type?
We don't store the brand you check. A daily count and a scrambled version of your IP address enforce the three-a-day limit, and results are cached for up to six hours so a repeat is instant.
How is this different from Google Alerts or F5Bot?
Those send you every post that contains your keyword. Sniffington reads each one and only keeps the posts about your brand, with a note on the rest. With an account it also covers video platforms like TikTok and YouTube.
Want this every day?
The free plan watches one brand on all ten platforms, weekly. No card.
