The AI-powered Substack provides 360° Global Media Data & Intelligence on Substack writers, newsletter operators, paid subscription publishers, and independent media creators.
Substack Monitor brings 360° global media data and intelligence to your phone and your AI apps.
In the middle of a client meeting? Send a message on WhatsApp or Telegram and receive real news about writers, newsletters, subscription trends, and independent media on Substack. Or send a message from your AI app to pull live Substack stories and create a spontaneous content brief.
Substack Monitor gives you the power to combine Internet, AI, Messaging Channels, and News Media for exponential leverage — without adding another dashboard to check.
The world produces over 100 trillion books' worth of data every day — and we're just getting started. Somewhere in that flood is the newsletter that changes your investment thesis, the writer move that affects your content strategy, the subscription trend that reshapes your market. For Substack Monitor, finding it is like finding a specific grain of sand on every beach on earth.
You don't have time to search. You're on a call, a content review, an investment session. You need an answer now — not after opening your laptop, logging into a dashboard, scrolling 15 tabs, and checking 6 newsletter feeds.
The real signal is often in another language. The writer's analysis in Spanish. The newsletter in French. The independent media coverage in Japanese. If you can't read it, you can't act on it. Substack Monitor delivers in your language.
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini — extraordinary tools. But they are cut off from today's data. Without a live feed, they are brilliant minds locked in the past. You need your AI to work with what happened today, not six months ago. Substack Monitor feeds your AI real-time Substack intelligence.

WhatsApp, Telegram, AI Apps (via API + MCP). You choose where Substack Monitor delivers intelligence.
API, MCP, and other premium features are not locked behind top tiers. All customers have access to all delivery channels at zero cost. You pay only for the information you consume, not for transport.
Annual subscriptions include four months free. But you can stay month-to-month with no pressure. We earn your business every month.
Step 1: Pick your tier. Every tier gives full access to the same capabilities — the difference is credit allowance. One headline with link is generally one credit. Start where you're comfortable; upgrade as you grow. Annual: pay for 8 months, get 12.
Step 2: Connect your integrations. Log in to your web app. Connect WhatsApp and Telegram by sending "Hello PressMonitor" — you'll receive an OTP on your registered email. Generate an API key for your AI apps to query Substack Monitor.
Step 3: Configure your Substack coverage. Set writers, topics, newsletters, keywords, and output depth. Boolean search. Language filters. Headlines, briefs, or full text. Your configuration works the same way across every integration.
Step 4: Start using data. Send a message in natural language. Substack Monitor delivers the independent publishing signal.
Start where you are comfortable. Every plan gives you access to the same core features — the difference is initial allocation of credits and overage pricing.

Your plan includes a monthly credit allowance. Every interaction with Substack Monitor draws from this allowance at a rate that depends on the action and the volume of results returned. Headlines cost 1 credit each. Briefs cost a little more and full text still more.
Monthly reset. Your credits reset on your subscription date each month.
Overage protection. Additional usage is charged at a per-unit overage rate. The higher your plan tier, the lower your overage rate.
No surprises. Track your usage in real time from your dashboard. You always know how many credits you have used, how many remain, and what your overage rate would be.
On-demand versus curated. On demand services let you consume credits every time you search and find stories. In curated services, credits are consumed when content is added to your subscription. You can consume it as many times as you need at no extra cost.
