02What it is

What a Reddit pain point finder does

A Reddit pain point finder reads Reddit threads about a topic and lists the problems people complain about most. This one reads up to five live threads per search, groups the complaints that repeat, counts the comments behind each one, and links every quote to its source.

Each pain point is a one-line summary in first person, written by AI from the comments. The real quotes are the linked comments under it, so check them before you use a line. Where the comments say what people want instead, that is shown too.

Counts are small on purpose. A count of 6 means six separate comments in this search made the same complaint. It shows what repeats, not how large the market is.

03Use it for

What to do with the pain points

Product ideas: look for a pain point that many comments repeat and that no reply solves.

Ad angles and hooks: open the receipts and reuse the customer's own words. Do not polish them.

Landing pages and content: answer the top three pain points in the order people raise them.

Pain points are the problems people have before they look for a product. Objections are the reasons they do not buy one. For those, use the Objection Finder.

04FAQ

Reddit pain point finder FAQ

What is a Reddit pain point finder?

A tool that reads Reddit discussions about a topic and returns the problems people repeat, ranked, with the comments behind each one. It saves you from reading whole threads to find the complaints that come up again and again.

How does this tool find pain points?

It searches Reddit for threads where people complain about, struggle with or ask for help on the topic you typed. It reads the comments with enough detail to show a real problem, groups the ones that say the same thing, and keeps the links as receipts.

Is it free?

Yes. You can run two searches per week without an account. A free account removes the anonymous IP gate, while the shared weekly tool budget still applies.

Can it find product or startup ideas?

Yes. Type the audience instead of a product, for example "freelance designers" or "new parents". A pain point with many comments behind it and no good answer in the replies is a candidate. Check the receipts first: one loud thread is not a market.

Which subreddits does it read?

It searches all of Reddit for threads about the topic you type, not a fixed list of subreddits. Each receipt shows the subreddit its comment came from.

How do I go deeper than five threads?

In Adlicio you can pull complete threads, track subreddits for new complaints with Reddit Radar, and turn the repeated pain points into a voice of customer report, ad angles and hooks. It also works inside Claude and ChatGPT.
