Line by line: what each one does
Brand24's column comes from its prices page, plan comparison and pricing FAQ, read November 13, 2026. Ours comes from our pricing section, our company facts and our delivery database.

What does a year of each cost?
A year of Brand24 Individual is $2,388 billed yearly or $2,988 paid monthly. Team, the first plan that watches LinkedIn, YouTube and Medium, is $3,588 or $4,188. A year of CommunityMentions is 12 months at $1,000 plus the $1 setup charge, $12,001. The two prices buy different work: Brand24 tells you where to reply, and the reading and writing stay with your team.

Why AI answers mix the two up
In our scan of November 2, 2026, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity each answered eight buyer questions about Reddit marketing three times, 96 answers in all. Brand24 was named in 16 of them: Claude 7, Gemini 7, ChatGPT 2 and Perplexity 0. Five of those 16 were answers to "Is there a service that posts comments about my company on Reddit every day?", a job Brand24's prices page doesn't list; 3 more came from a question asking for alternatives to ReddiReach. That doesn't make Brand24 a bad pick; it means a list from an assistant can put a listening tool next to a posting service as if they did the same thing. Ask which column of the table above each name belongs in.
What recent delivery looks like
In the 30 days from October 7 to November 5, 2026, the median of 55 client brands got 49 verified placements across Reddit, YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X, 9 of them on Reddit. The 25th percentile was 2 and the 75th percentile 123. That count includes brands that started or paused partway through the window. A brand that mainly needs to hear and answer what people say about it gets more for the money from Brand24.
Can you run both?
Yes, and they fit together. Brand24 Team watches the same five channels we post on, so it can show you each comment that names you, ours included, plus the complaints and comparisons you'd want to answer yourself. CommunityMentions places comments in threads about your category. We don't alert you to every mention of your brand, so keep a listening tool if you want that feed.
Where Brand24 still wins
- Every mention: it collects posts and comments with your keywords across social networks, news, blogs and, on higher plans, podcasts and reviews.
- Analysis we don't sell: sentiment on every plan, reach tracking from Team, and influencer analysis and its Presence Score from Pro.
- Price: $199 a month billed yearly for Individual, about a fifth of ours.
- A 14-day trial with no card, and you can cancel any time.
- Every reply is yours, written in your words from your own account.
Where CommunityMentions wins
- Nobody on your team reads alerts or writes replies.
- Comments go out every day on Reddit, YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X; Brand24 posts nothing anywhere.
- You read a free sample of the comments before paying anything.
- A daily Slack report links every comment that passed our same-day check and counts those removed before it.
How we compared
