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 criterion is the one a small budget cares about: the lowest monthly price a service publishes for something you can use, and whether anyone posts for you. Prices come from each service's own page, read on October 6, 2026. Where a page gives conflicting numbers we say so. If their page says something different now, their page wins.

How to read the order
The list is ordered by entry price within each type, with the tools you operate yourself first, then per-comment posting, then monthly programs, which start at $199 and run to $2,000. CommunityMentions sits seventh because it costs $1,290 against $19 to $199 for the services above it, and only 11 of its median 106 monthly placements are on Reddit. Per placement across all five channels the figure is about $12.17. Per Reddit comment alone it is about $117, the highest in the group.
What the lower prices leave out: tools make you find and post every reply yourself, and the per-comment services differ on what happens when a comment is removed. ReplyAgent refunds 70% of a comment's price inside a 24-hour check, Bazzly returns credits for removals within 48 hours, and CrowdReply credits automated removals only. Mention.Broker states no removal credit.
Where CommunityMentions is the better pick, and where it is not
- Not the pick: you have under about $500 a month, want the most Reddit comments per dollar, or are happy to post replies yourself.
- A fit: you want the posting handled, a link to every live comment in a daily Slack report, and placements on YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X as well as Reddit.
- Try it without paying: paste your site and read the free sample before you decide.
Which one to start with
Under $100 a month, start with a tool and write your own replies, or buy a handful of comments from a per-comment service and read where they land. From a few hundred dollars a month up to $2,000, compare the monthly programs by what they state about removals and reporting. See our comparison with CrowdReply and with Bazzly for the two closest per-comment alternatives.
