See what people are really saying
One search across Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok and 8 more. The honest takes Google misses.
Built to search people, not pages
Reddit upvotes. X likes. YouTube transcripts. TikTok views. Polymarket odds backed by real money. Real humans voting with their attention every day — that's what we search.
Bridges every walled garden
Google can't read Reddit comments. ChatGPT can't search X. Each platform is a fortress with its own auth — we open all of them in one query, every time.
Ranked by what people actually did
Upvotes, likes, views, and dollars on prediction markets. The 1,500-upvote Reddit thread beats the blog nobody read. Every card shows you why a result is on top.
An AI judge synthesizes the room
Verdict cards, sentiment splits, divisive quotes, prediction-market odds — an AI reads every result and gives you the brief alongside the source posts, never instead of them.
The actual post, never a summary
Read the actual Reddit thread. Watch the actual TikTok. Perplexity launders social signal into a paragraph — we expose the source, every time.
What happens when you hit Enter
One query. Twelve sources fan out in parallel. AI synthesizes the room. The actual posts sit right beneath. All in five seconds.
Type your query
Reddit, Hacker News, Polymarket, and GitHub work the moment you land — no signup, no keys. Just type and hit Enter.
Twelve sources fan out in parallel
Reddit, HN, X, YouTube, TikTok, Polymarket, Threads, Pinterest, Instagram, GitHub, Perplexity, and the open Web — every chip lights up at once. Slow ones tail in.
An AI judge synthesizes the room
Verdict cards, radar charts, divisive quotes, sentiment splits — an AI reads every result and gives you the brief alongside the source posts.
Read the actual post
The actual Reddit thread. The actual TikTok. The actual Hacker News comment. We never replace the source with a paragraph — only point you to it.
What is the world really saying?
Type a question. Twelve walled gardens search at the same time. AI gives you the brief — the source posts stay one click away.
For builders → MCP, skills, and the APIWhere do you go to ask people instead of pages?
Google ranks pages by SEO authority. We rank posts by what real people upvoted, liked, watched, or bet money on. Here's the gap.
| Question | SocialCrawl | |
|---|---|---|
| What's indexed | Posts and comments from real people | Webpages written by editors and SEO teams |
| How ranking is decided | Upvotes, likes, views, dollars on prediction markets | Backlinks, authority scores, recency |
| What comes back | The actual Reddit thread, the actual TikTok | A page of links to read through |
| Reads inside walled gardens? | Yes — Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok in parallel | No — Google can't read X or Reddit comments |
| AI synthesis | An AI judge gives you the verdict, sentiment, and quotes | AI Overview summarises editor-written pages |
| Best at answering | What real people are saying right now | What's been written about a topic over time |

Read someone before you meet them
Type a name — `peter steinberger`, `kanye west` — and you get the person behind the LinkedIn page. Recent X posts, podcast clips, GitHub PR velocity, sub-Reddit chatter, YouTube interviews. Everything LinkedIn won't show you, ranked by what people actually engaged with.

AI synthesis sits on top
What real users say, with live numbers
`cursor vs windsurf`, `claude vs gpt-5`, `openclaw vs hermes`. What people in the trenches actually say — with live GitHub stars, Hacker News threads, and the Reddit megathreads vendor comparison pages will never link to.
What the community figured out in week one
`nano banana pro prompting`, `remotion best practices`, `cursor rules directory`. Training data is months stale for tools that ship weekly. The community surfaces what works the day it works — we harvest that, ranked by upvotes.
Geopolitics, market moves, cultural shifts
27 X posts, 10 YouTube reviews, 20 prediction markets — synthesized into one coherent brief. Polymarket odds backed by real money put a number on what the punditry only argues about.
