What is SocialHose?
SocialHose (socialhose.net) is a media-intelligence and social listening platform. Brands and agencies use it to track what is being said across seven social platforms (X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit, and Snapchat) plus news, blogs, and forums, then turn those mentions into dashboards, smart alerts, sentiment, and reports. It is built for PR, comms, and market-intelligence work: coverage tracking, share of voice, and shareable client reporting.
How SocialHose works
You tell SocialHose the brands, topics, or competitors to watch, and it pulls matching mentions from across the web into one place. From there you slice the data into dashboards and exports. The deliverable is knowledge: what the internet is saying, how sentiment is trending, and where a conversation is happening. Acting on any single mention is a manual step you take afterward.
Where SocialHose is strong
Breadth. If you need to watch news, blogs, and forums alongside seven social platforms, SocialHose covers far more surface than a Reddit-only or social-only tool, which is exactly what a PR or agency team needs. Reporting is a first-class feature, not an afterthought, so packaging coverage for a client or a weekly digest is straightforward.
The honest catch
SocialHose stops at the mention. It does not score how close someone is to buying, and it does not draft the reply or DM, so the step that actually produces a customer is still on you. For a founder, that is the whole job. In our study of 2,269 real Reddit conversations, engaging people who were already describing the problem replied at 29.7%, versus 1 to 5% for cold email. The results came from the human-approved outreach step, which listening platforms leave to you.
SocialHose pricing
SocialHose has no free plan: Starter is $149/mo, Pro $399/mo, and Agency $999/mo, with monthly or annual billing, and every plan covers all seven social platforms. Developers can skip the plans: a pay-as-you-go API starts with a $10 minimum top-up. The plans are priced for brand and agency teams tracking mentions. For comparison, OneUp Today has no subscription at all: you pay per action from a prepaid wallet (campaign runs $0.25, reply drafts $0.01, a month of daily campaign runs is about $7.50), every account starts with $3 of free credit, no card, sized for a founder who wants the conversations, not the reports.
