How do I see sample Reddit comments for my website before I pay?

Paste your website into the free sample on our home page. First comments show in about 2 minutes and a full report in about 10, with no card and no email. This page is for founders and marketers about to pay for Reddit comments: how to run it, what to check, and what other services show first.

The short answer

Go to the home page, paste your website, and stay on the page. You will see real conversations with the comment we would add to each. Nothing gets posted, and you pay nothing. The free sample feature page lists every step and limit. The rest of this page covers the part that matters more: how to judge what you read.

Quick picks: what are you doing?

  • You want written comments for your own site today, with no card: run our free sample.
  • You want to test posted Reddit mentions at no cost: Mention.Broker lists a free plan with 2 mentions (read November 6, 2026).
  • You are fine trying a tool first: Bazzly and CrowdReply each list a 7-day free trial and ReplyAgent a 3-day one, and only Bazzly says it takes a payment method at checkout (read November 6, 2026).
  • You want a strategy conversation first: ReddiReach starts with a free call (read November 6, 2026).

A worked example: reading a typical sample

Take a median run from our site form. It finds 528 conversations from the last day, keeps 35 as relevant, and ends with 9 comments. Suppose you sell scheduling software. Of those 9, you might get 3 on Reddit, 2 on YouTube, 2 on LinkedIn, and one each on X and Medium, which is roughly how 647 comments split across 83 reports. Open the first conversation in a new tab. Someone in r/smallbusiness is asking how to stop double bookings. Read the thread, then read our comment. This example thread is made up to show the check, and your report will show real ones.

What to check in the comments

Use these five checks on each comment before you pay anyone for this kind of work, us included.
CheckPass looks likeFail looks like
Does it answer the thread?The first sentence helps the person who askedIt opens with your brand
Does the thread fit your buyer?The asker could buy from youThe topic matches a keyword and nothing else
Is the brand mention earned?You appear as one option, with a reasonThe comment reads like an ad
Would you sign it?You would post this from your own accountYou would be embarrassed if a customer read it
Do the facts hold?Everything said about your product is trueIt invents a feature or a price

What to do after you've read it

If most comments pass the checks, starting costs $1, which saves your card. You then approve the voice in Slack, and the $1,000 monthly billing starts only after that approval. If they don't pass, close the tab. You owe nothing, and we don't post anything.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to give an email to see the sample?

No. The email box is optional. Leave it if you want the report link sent to you, or stay on the page and read it there.

Can I see comments for a competitor's website?

The form takes any public company website, so it would run. The comments are written to promote that site, which makes them a useful check of the method and little else.

Is the sample the same quality as the paid service?

It uses the same search and writing steps on conversations from the last 24 hours, and shows up to 10 comments. In the paid service, you also approve the voice in Slack before anything posts, so the voice gets closer to yours.

What happens if I run it twice?

Running the same domain again opens its saved run page rather than starting a new sample.
