Reddit Pain Points
Reddit Pain Points finds the discussions where people in your niche describe their problems in their own words — and extracts the key phrases from them, enriched with search volume and ad price from DataForSEO. The result is raw material for content that answers what people actually struggle with.
The data is real on both ends: threads come from Reddit's public API, and keyword numbers from DataForSEO — the tool labels per number whether it is live data or not. The phrase extraction itself is text heuristics, not AI; always read the threads yourself before building content on them. As of 2026-08-06 no credits are charged for use, even though the catalog prices the tool at 20 — the stated price may change.
Who this tool is for
Anyone making content or products who wants to phrase things in customers' own words — taken from real discussions, not assumptions.
Prerequisites
- Signed-in account (growth tier in the catalog)
- No credits are charged today
- A niche; optional subreddits narrow the search
How to use it
- Enter the niche, optionally specific subreddits.
- Run the search — the tool discovers relevant subreddits and fetches the problem discussions.
- Read the threads (links go to Reddit) and sort the keyword table by volume or CPC.
- Export the keywords as CSV.
How to read the result
- The threads are sorted by a relevance heuristic — the top ones are usually the most clearly stated problems.
- The key phrases are automatically extracted from thread texts; volume and CPC tell you whether anyone actually searches for them.
- "Live" vs "Estimate": if the number columns say Estimate, enrichment failed — those numbers are not real measurements.
Common errors
- Few hits: use a broader niche description or drop the subreddit filter.
- Zeros in the table: the DataForSEO enrichment failed — rerun before trusting the numbers.
Limitations
- No sentiment analysis or ready-made content suggestions — the tool finds and quantifies, you interpret and write.
- No saving or history; export the CSV before closing.
