What does a year of each cost?
A year of Redreach Growth is $468 paid monthly or $372 billed yearly. A year of CommunityMentions is 12 months at $1,000 plus the $1 setup charge, $12,001 in all. The difference pays for the writing and posting: Redreach's price leaves out the hours someone spends reading threads, checking subreddit rules and posting from their account.
| Option | 1 month | 12 months |
|---|---|---|
| Redreach 3-day pass | $12 once | n/a |
| Redreach Startup | $19 | $228, or $180 billed yearly |
| Redreach Growth | $39 | $468, or $372 billed yearly |
| Redreach Professional | $79 | $948, or $756 billed yearly |
| CommunityMentions (ours) | $1,001 | $12,001 |
Who posts: Redreach's argument and ours
Redreach's FAQ says it will not auto-post on purpose. It says a Reddit update wiped out about 70% of automated posting accounts, and that posting from your own account keeps comments up. That is Redreach's claim, and the advice under it is sound for anyone posting from their own account. CommunityMentions doesn't auto-post either: real people with established accounts post the comments, and they're paid only when a comment sticks. Some comments still get removed over time, usually by a human moderator, so we check every comment the afternoon it's posted and re-check it nightly for about a week. The daily Slack report links every comment that passed that check.
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 founder who wants Reddit only and will post every day gets more threads for the money from Redreach.
Can you run both?
Yes. Redreach can track your brand and competitors on Reddit and hand you the threads where a reply from your own account matters most, such as a complaint or a direct comparison. CommunityMentions places comments in threads about your category on five channels. We don't alert you to each mention of your brand, so keep a tool like Redreach if you want to answer those yourself.
Where Redreach wins
- Price: $39 a month for daily leads, about a twenty-fifth of ours.
- Every reply is yours, written in your words from your own account.
- Competitor tracking and a daily ranked list of threads, aimed at posts that rank on Google, as its pricing section describes.
- Outbound DMs with a CRM, which we don't offer.
- An MCP server, so your own agent can pull and triage threads.
Where CommunityMentions wins
- Nobody on your team writes or posts replies.
- It covers YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X as well as Reddit; Redreach is Reddit only.
- You read a free sample of the comments before paying anything.
- A daily Slack report links every comment that passed our same-day check.
