What PainOnSocial is good at

PainOnSocial is a Reddit pain point tool for entrepreneurs. You pick the subreddits for a scan and a 7, 30 or 90 day window, and it looks for posts with pain signals such as "doesn't work" or "too expensive". Each pain point gets an AI score, quotes with links to the Reddit posts, AI solution ideas and a target audience. Weekly topic watches email you new pain points, and the Professional plan adds Startup Idea Reports with PDF export.

PainOnSocial is the better choice for solo founders who want to validate a startup idea on Reddit. Its scores, solution ideas, idea reports and subreddit guides for 800+ professions all help you decide what to build. It is also cheaper to start, at $19 a month after a 7-day trial.

When PainOnSocial is not the right tool for the job

PainOnSocial answers "which problems on Reddit are worth building a product for?" Its pain signals, AI scores, solution ideas and startup idea reports all point at that decision. If you are a founder choosing what to build and your market talks on Reddit, it is the more focused tool and the cheaper one to start.

Adlicio answers "what do customers keep saying, and how should the ad say it back?" It searches and reads Reddit threads, adds reviews and comments from Amazon, YouTube, TikTok, Trustpilot, app stores and other sources, and ranks the repeated pains, desires and objections with the quotes and links behind each hook. It runs inside Claude and ChatGPT, so the research and the copy happen in one chat.

So far Adlicio has read 21,080,455+ comments and reviews across 30+ public sources.

“Compared to other tools, the price is incredibly low for the quality it delivers. Exceptional value for money. Highly recommended!”

PainOnSocial alternative FAQ

Is Adlicio a full PainOnSocial replacement?

No. Adlicio does not write startup idea reports or a set of solution ideas for each pain point. It is built for the research behind ads and positioning, across Reddit and 30+ other comment and review sources.

When is PainOnSocial the better choice?

Choose PainOnSocial when you are a founder looking for a product idea on Reddit and want scored pain points, solution ideas and a weekly email of new complaints from the subreddits you follow. It also costs less to start, at $19 a month.

Is there a tool that finds product ideas from Reddit complaints?

Yes. PainOnSocial is built for that job: it scans the subreddits you pick, ranks the complaints and suggests product ideas. Adlicio reads Reddit complaints too and adds reviews of the products people already use, so you can see where the current options fail. The guide at tryadlicio.com/blog/find-customer-pain-points-on-reddit shows the method by hand and with tools.

Can an AI tool read Reddit comments and find the pain points for me?

Yes. In Claude or ChatGPT, ask Adlicio about a topic and it searches Reddit, reads the threads and their comments, and returns the repeated pain points with verbatim quotes and links. PainOnSocial does a similar job in its own app, for posts in the subreddits you choose.

Does PainOnSocial read sources other than Reddit?

Its site describes a Reddit-first approach, and its scans read the subreddits you pick. It does not list Amazon, YouTube, TikTok or review sites as sources. Adlicio covers Reddit and 30+ other comment and review sources.
