What Are the Differences Between Reddit Scout Pro Free and Pro?
Reddit Scout Pro offers a free tier that lets you try keyword monitoring before committing to a paid plan. The free version covers the basics — 3 keywords, 25 matches per scan, and basic intent categorization. The Pro tier removes all limits and unlocks the full feature set. Here is a detailed breakdown of what you get at each level.
