Keyhole alternative now that Muck Rack owns it and listening is its focus
Keyhole is a social listening and analytics product that Muck Rack acquired in 2024 and now offers inside its PR platform. Its pricing is not public, so we could not confirm any price. AutoPoster AI suits you if you want to publish and reply, and do not need enterprise listening, which we do not have.
Choose AutoPoster AI if
- You want to schedule and publish posts, which we did not find in Keyhole's listening offer.
- You want a comment and DM inbox and review replies in the same tool as analytics.
- You want published prices you can check, instead of a sales quote.
- You only need analytics on your own accounts and not hashtag or brand monitoring across the web.
Stay with Keyhole if
- You need social listening for brand mentions, hashtags and influencers, which AutoPoster AI does not offer.
- You are a PR or comms team that wants social and earned media in one view.
- You already use Muck Rack and want listening inside it.
Keyhole in brief
Keyhole tracked hashtags, brand mentions and influencers. In 2024 Muck Rack acquired it, and its current page sells it as social listening within Muck Rack for PR teams.
Enterprise-style listening is something AutoPoster AI does not have. If monitoring the wider conversation is your goal, this is not a replacement.
If you want to publish, answer comments and DMs, and read analytics for your own accounts, AutoPoster AI is the simpler fit.

Free is 1 account, Professional is $15 a month ($12.50 yearly) and Brand is $24 ($20 yearly). Keyhole's pricing is not published, so you cannot compare before a sales call.
Learn more →Engagement is covered
Brand adds a comment inbox, DMs and review replies, and Business adds AI replies from a knowledge base. We found none of these in the Keyhole offer.

Listening beyond your own accounts
Keyhole tracks brand mentions, hashtags and influencers across platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and Facebook. AutoPoster AI only reports on accounts you connect.
Built for PR and comms
Muck Rack positions the product to spot emerging narratives and find influential voices, and to view social and earned media results together.
A larger vendor behind it
Muck Rack states it will keep supporting Keyhole while folding its tools into the Muck Rack platform, which suits teams already on Muck Rack.
How to switch from Keyhole
- 1
We found no Keyhole help article on exporting data, so ask your account manager what exports exist before your term ends.
- 2
Keyhole is now offered inside Muck Rack and the old keyhole.co contact page redirects there, so check whether your contract has moved to Muck Rack terms.
- 3
Since we did not find scheduling, there is likely no queue to move. Connect accounts in AutoPoster AI to publish, and keep listening elsewhere if you need it.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Keyhole still available?
Muck Rack acquired it and says social listening is now available as part of the Muck Rack platform. The page does not say whether the Keyhole brand will be retired.
- How much does Keyhole cost?
We could not confirm it. Pricing is not on the Muck Rack page and third-party sites conflict, so treat any figure as unverified.
- Does AutoPoster AI do social listening?
No. We do not offer listening or web-wide monitoring. We cover publishing, inbox, reviews and analytics for your connected accounts.
