Octolens

⚡ B2B community listening

Use Octolens when the useful conversations about your product happen in developer, B2B, and community channels—and your team needs to spot and answer them before they go cold.

Why this fits

Turn community discussion into a response habit.

Octolens is a social-listening product built around relevance: it monitors community and social sources, uses AI to filter and tag what matters, and routes useful mentions through Slack, API, webhooks, or MCP. It is strongest for B2B and developer-facing teams that need to catch product feedback, buy intent, support issues, and opportunities to participate in conversations. The result is a faster response loop, not a general-purpose PR database.

The trade-off

Community depth costs more than simple keyword alerts.

What you gain
  • Monitor B2B and community sources, then filter relevance, sentiment, and intent before sending the result to the team.
  • Connect live mentions to Slack, API, webhooks, and MCP-based workflows without paying per seat.
  • Octolens publicly names Cursor, Vercel, Sentry, PostHog, Railway, Supabase, Prisma, Tally, and many others as customers or stories.
What you sacrifice
  • Pro begins at $199/month annually, and volume above the quota is billed per additional mention.
  • The Pro tier focuses on social and community channels; podcasts, news, web, and newsletters require Scale.
  • It is not the right choice for a classic global media-relations or journalist-database workflow.
