Quick picks: who should buy which?
- You want Reddit run next to influencer marketing, paid social and content production by one agency, and you are fine getting a price from a proposal: SociallyIn.
- You want Reddit Ads managed, or a subreddit created and moderated, or an AMA hosted: SociallyIn. We do none of those.
- You are an established brand with $10 million or more in annual revenue, which is who SociallyIn's home page says it serves: SociallyIn.
- You want comments placed in threads about your category every day, a price on the page and no commitment: CommunityMentions, $1,000 a month after a $1 setup charge.
- You want to read the comments before you pay anyone: the free sample, first comments in about 2 minutes, no card.
- You want more options than these two: SociallyIn alternatives, seven of them priced.
Line by line: what each one does
SociallyIn's column comes from its own pages, read November 15, 2026: its Reddit marketing agency page (last updated November 4, 2026), home page, FAQ, contact page and Blueground case study. A cell that says not published means we looked on those pages and found nothing. Ours comes from our pricing section, company facts and delivery database.

What does each one cost?
We cannot price SociallyIn for Reddit, because it does not publish a Reddit price and sociallyin.com/pricing answers 404. What its own pages do say is agency-wide: its FAQ puts projects and full-service packages at $5,000 to $50,000+, and its contact page says most engagements run $5,000 to $50,000+ with consulting packages from $1,500. Neither page says whether the figure is per month, per project or per quarter, so the table does not multiply it. Read November 15, 2026.
| Option | Price as published | 12 months |
|---|---|---|
| CommunityMentions (ours) | $1,000 a month plus a $1 setup charge | $12,001 |
| SociallyIn Reddit service | Not published | Not published |
| SociallyIn, any service | Most engagements $5,000 to $50,000+ (unit not stated); consulting from $1,500 | Not stated |
What to ask SociallyIn on the call
- Is the quote per month, per project or per quarter, and what does the first three-month goal cover?
- How many comments and posts a month does the Reddit work include? Its Blueground contract called for 4 posts and 20 comments a month; ask what yours would call for.
- Whose accounts post, and who approves each comment before it goes live?
- What share of the budget is Reddit Ads and what share is organic comments and posts?
- How do you handle moderators and account age? Its Blueground page describes changing its approach in March 2026 after early comments were taken down.
- Is there a minimum, and what do I keep if I leave? Its FAQ says no minimum contract and that you keep the content it creates.
What each one shows for results
SociallyIn's Reddit case study is Blueground, a furnished-rentals brand: 12 views in December 2025, then 136,764 views from 200 pieces of content (26 posts and 174 comments) across 120 communities by May 2026. It reports a 98% upvote ratio and a 23.9% share in the AI answers it tracked with Peec AI, second to Airbnb at 51.3%. Our number is a different kind. 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 middle half ran from 2 to 123, and the count includes brands that started or paused partway. One is a single enterprise campaign measured in views, the other a median across brands measured in placements, so the two do not add up to a ranking. Its numbers are its own.
Which one do AI answers name?
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. On "What is the best Reddit marketing agency?" SociallyIn was named in 10 of the 12 answers and CommunityMentions in none. On "Is there a service that posts comments about my company on Reddit every day?" it was the other way round: CommunityMentions in 8 of 12 and SociallyIn in none. Across all 96, SociallyIn was named in 11 and CommunityMentions in 17. The answers describe SociallyIn as a social agency: Perplexity called it "best for larger brands that want Reddit Ads included in a broader, multi-platform social program." So the engines name it when the question asks for an agency, and name us when the question asks for a service that posts.
Where SociallyIn wins
- AI answers name it: 10 of 12 on the agency question in our scan, against 0 for us.
- Full-service social: strategy, content production, paid social, influencer marketing and an in-house studio sit under one agency, and we do none of that.
- Reddit work beyond comments: Reddit Ads as a verified partner, subreddit creation and moderation, AMAs, reputation seeding and crisis response.
- Enterprise fit and references: its home page names Samsung, Carnival Cruise Line and Hitachi, and shows 4.8 out of 5 on Clutch from 73 reviews, which are its own figures.
- It publishes a failure: its Blueground page says what went wrong with early comments and what it changed.
Where CommunityMentions wins
- A price on the page: $1,000 a month, where SociallyIn's Reddit service has none.
- No commitment: month to month, and billing starts only after you approve the setup in Slack.
- A free sample of the actual comments before you pay, instead of a discovery call and a proposal.
- Posting every day on five channels, with a daily Slack report linking each comment that passed our same-day check.
Pick SociallyIn if
- You are an established brand and Reddit is one part of a larger social program.
- You need Reddit Ads, a branded subreddit, AMAs or crisis response.
- You are happy to buy from a proposal and scope the price on a call.
Pick CommunityMentions if
- You want comments placed daily and a price you can read before you talk to anyone.
- You want to try it with a $1 setup charge and leave month to month.
- You want Reddit plus YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X covered by one service.
