Who wrote this and how we checked
CommunityMentions wrote this page, and we sell one of the services on it, so read it as a vendor's guide. The criteria were chosen before we read the pages: (1) the service says its Reddit work targets AI answers, (2) it reports AI citations or AI visibility to the buyer, (3) it publishes a price, (4) it works on channels beyond Reddit, since AI engines cite more than Reddit. A criterion counts only when the service's own page says so. All pages were read on October 6, 2026.
The claims are the vendors' words. The results some pages quote, such as CrowdReply's +47% LLM visibility and Nicely Network's 10,000+ AI citations, are the vendors' own figures and we haven't verified them, so a claim here is not evidence of the effect.

Reading the table
If AI-citation reporting is your first criterion, Soar, Nicely Network, ReddiReach and CrowdReply state that they provide it, and we don't. ReddiReach is the one that also says how long it takes: 3 to 6 months. If you want the most channels, CommunityMentions is the only service here that posts on Reddit, YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X in one plan, which matters because AI engines cite more than Reddit. Our own scan of four AI engines on October 6, 2026 found CommunityMentions named in 5 of 119 answers to category questions, so we are not claiming we've won this category.
Our numbers come from our delivery records. In the 30 days of comments posted from August 30 to September 28, 2026, the median client (41 clients) had 106 placements still live at the last check, across Reddit, YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X. 11 of them were on Reddit. Comments removed after we first verified them are not counted.
When each fits
- You want AI-citation reports in the package: Soar, Nicely Network, ReddiReach or CrowdReply.
- You want the lowest price per comment: ReplyAgent or Bazzly, with your own tracking.
- You want the posting done across several channels with a link to each live comment: CommunityMentions.
- You want a published price first: every service above except Soar and Nicely Network.
Which one to start with
Start from the report you need. If it's AI citations, pick a service that includes them. If it's volume of placements, compare live-comment records.
