Brand24 watches your brand. intenthound finds your buyers.
Brand24 is a strong, mature social-listening tool for tracking mentions across the public web. But listening for your name isn't the same as finding people ready to buy. intenthound scores every post for buying intent and focuses on where purchase questions actually get asked, including the private Facebook groups public-source tools can't reach.
Brand monitoring and lead-finding aren't the same tool.
Brand24 is built to answer "who's talking about us?": mentions across social networks, news, blogs and the wider public web, with sentiment trends and reports. If that's your job, it's a capable, polished choice and we won't talk you out of it.
Lead generation is a different question: "who's about to buy what I sell, and where do I reach them first?" That needs judgement of intent, not just presence of a keyword, and it needs to reach the communities where buying questions actually happen. Brand24, like other public-source listening tools, monitors what's publicly available; private Facebook groups sit outside that. intenthound is built for exactly that job: score the intent, cover the groups, and hand you the reply.
Brand24 for brand & PR monitoring; intenthound for lead generation. intenthound scores every post 0–100 for buying intent, covers Facebook groups, Reddit and X (including private groups), routes leads to Slack/Discord/Telegram/Teams, and drafts a reply, without logging into any of your accounts. It keeps analytics light on purpose: it surfaces conversations to join, not dashboards to read.

Questions Brand24 users ask us
How is intenthound different from Brand24?
Brand24 tracks mentions of your brand across public web, social, news and blogs with sentiment and reporting. intenthound is aimed at one job: finding buyers. It scores every post 0–100 for buying intent, focuses on Facebook groups, Reddit and X, and drafts a reply for each lead.
Can Brand24 monitor private Facebook groups?
Public-source listening tools monitor publicly available content; private Facebook groups and other login-walled spaces are outside that. intenthound is built specifically to monitor the groups your buyers ask in, without logging into your account.
Should I use Brand24 or intenthound?
Brand24 for broad brand/PR monitoring, sentiment and reporting. intenthound for lead generation: surfacing high-intent posts and acting fast. They do different jobs; some teams run both.
Does intenthound do sentiment analysis and reports?
Only lightly. It's a lead tool, not a reporting suite. It shows conversations worth joining rather than dashboards of mention volume. If deep sentiment reporting is the priority, a brand-monitoring tool fits better.
