03FAQ

Objection finder FAQ

How does Objection Finder find objections?

It searches Reddit for discussions about value, regret, disappointment, and wasted money in the category. It reads the useful comments, groups repeated reasons, and keeps linked comments as receipts.

What data does the ranking use?

The ranking uses comments from up to five relevant Reddit threads. Each count is the number of valid source comments attached to that objection in this search.

Is Objection Finder 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.

Why are there limits?

Each new search reads live Reddit threads and groups the comments. Limits keep the public tool available and control provider costs. Cached searches can return without another live scrape.

How do I get a full objection map in Adlicio?
