Who does the work each week?
OutreachBloom's plan needs a person on your side. 50 contributions a month is a little over 2 every workday, each one arriving by email to be opened, read, pasted into the right thread and posted, usually while that thread is still active. Its page says you review every post, which gives you control over what your brand says. It also means a week your person is out is a week nothing goes live.
Our plan needs one decision from you: you approve the voice in Slack, and after that the posting happens without you. You give up control of each comment, and you read them after they are live in the daily report.
What does each cost over 12 months?
Over 12 months OutreachBloom's Reddit plan costs $22,800 and ours costs $12,001, a difference of $10,799. Neither total counts the time of the person who posts on OutreachBloom's plan.
| Plan | First month | 3 months | 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| CommunityMentions (ours) | $1,001 | $3,001 | $12,001 |
| OutreachBloom Reddit marketing | $1,900 | $5,700 | $22,800 |
| OutreachBloom AI SEO, 30 Reddit engagements | $3,400 | $10,200 | $40,800 |
| OutreachBloom AI SEO, 50 Reddit engagements | $4,900 | $14,700 | $58,800 |
A branded account or an established account?
OutreachBloom posts from a branded Reddit Pro account, which it describes as Reddit's official brand-participation program. Everyone reading knows it's the brand, and the account builds up as yours. Our comments come from people with established accounts, so the comment reads as one user's recommendation, and you own no account at the end. Reddit moderators remove comments from any account. Ours are checked the day they post, and the daily report counts the ones removed before that check, so only comments that passed count toward your total. If keeping the account matters more to you than having the posting done, OutreachBloom's setup is the better fit.
Where OutreachBloom wins
