When Buska is the better choice
Choose Buska when your lead process starts across many public networks, not primarily in Facebook groups. Its Starter plan lists 16 sources, including X, Reddit, YouTube, Hacker News, LinkedIn, GitHub, and more. Growth adds Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and review sites. Buska also offers contact enrichment, CSV and CRM exports from Growth, plus an SDR agent on Scale that can send approved e-mails. That breadth fits a team building an outreach list across several channels.
When LeadScanner fits your work
Choose LeadScanner when you need to spot service requests and buying intent in public conversations, especially in Facebook groups. It reads public Facebook groups and pages, Reddit, and X while signed out, without using your account or a browser extension. Every keyword match becomes a lead card with the post, author, link, and matched phrase. AI mode adds an intent score, a short reason, and a reply draft in the post’s language. Create one campaign per client, paste their website to derive the offer profile, and start with a free trial, no card.
Buska’s outreach model
Buska positions itself as social listening for lead generation rather than brand monitoring. It finds public posts and says it never accesses private messages, DMs, or authenticated content. Its AI classifies leads as HOT, WARM, or EXPLORE using intent, recency, and ICP fit. From Growth, Reply Studio provides draft responses. On Scale, its SDR agent can draft and send e-mail outreach after your approval. That is a broader prospecting workflow than a tool centered on public conversation discovery.
Price and trial
Buska lists Starter $49 / Growth $99 / Scale $249 a month, with Agency on request. Annual billing “saves approximately 17%,” and its trial is 7 days, no credit card. Facebook becomes available from Growth, alongside Instagram, TikTok, and review sites. LeadScanner’s pricing is on this page. Its free trial needs no card, and all plans read Facebook, Reddit, and X in keyword mode. API-only credit packs: $50 / $500 / $3,000
Sources and Facebook groups
Buska’s Starter plan lists 16 sources, from X and Reddit to developer, publishing, and community platforms. Facebook is listed from Growth, but its pricing information does not mention Facebook groups. That distinction matters if groups are where your customers ask for recommendations or post job requests. LeadScanner is narrower by design: it reads public Facebook groups and pages, Reddit, and X. Closed and private groups are never read, and no Facebook, Reddit, or X account is used.
