Who wrote this and how we checked
We make CommunityMentions, one of the 16 services below, so check our row against our pricing and everyone else's against their own pages. Here's how we compared: on September 29, 2026 we read each vendor's own pricing or service page and copied the price as written, with what it buys, who posts and the minimum term. Where a vendor doesn't publish a price, the table says so. Every vendor name links to the page we read.
Our own cost per placement is measured from our delivery database, not advertised: in the 30 days to September 28, 2026, the median client got 69 verified placements across Reddit, YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X.

Cost per placement, compared
Monthly prices hide the unit. Every row divides a vendor's published price by the count it states, except ours, which is measured from our delivery database and covers five channels; the others count Reddit only. Agencies that bundle strategy, content or AI-search work don't publish a placement count, so they aren't in this table.
| Service | Price | Placements | Cost each |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mention.Broker | $34.99 to $2,499.99/mo | 10 to 1,000 mentions | $2.50 to $3.50 (stated) |
| ReplyAgent | Per item | Each comment it posts | $4 (stated) |
| CommunityMentions | $1,000/mo | 69 verified placements across 5 channels for the median client, 27 on Reddit (32 to 142 for the middle half of 65 clients) | $14.50 ($7.04 to $31.25), measured |
| OutreachBloom | $1,900/mo | 50 engagements, which you post | $38.00 |
| SaaSy Links | $650/mo | 3 posts and 10 comments | $50 |
| Vettted | $500 | 10 mentions | $50 |
| GrowReddit | $2,999/mo | 20 posts and 20 comments | $74.98 |
| ReddiReach | $2,000/mo | 20 comments | $80 |
| Karma Alien | $1,850/mo | Up to 20 comments | $92.50 at the full 20 |
Where others cost less or give you more
- Cheaper per comment: Mention.Broker at $2.50 to $3.50 a mention and ReplyAgent at $4 a comment, against our measured $14.50 per verified placement across five channels.
- Cheaper to start: Mention.Broker has a free plan with 2 mentions and paid plans from $34.99 a month, and SaaSy Links sells Reddit plans to B2B SaaS companies from $650. Our sample is free, but the service itself is $1,000 a month.
- Guarantees: Vettted guarantees each mention for 3 months, and SaaSy Links replaces placements removed within 6 months. Our daily report counts comments removed before our same-day check; our published terms don't include replacements.
- More in the box: agency plans from $3,400 a month add content, AI-search work or Reddit Ads. We place comments and don't run ads.
What moves the price
- Who writes and posts. Some vendors post from their own aged accounts, Mention.Broker routes mentions through a network of Reddit users, and OutreachBloom drafts replies for you to post from your own account. Ask which one you're buying before you compare prices.
- How much is bundled. Plans that mostly place comments and posts run $650 to $2,999 a month here; programs that add content, AI-search work or ads start at $3,400 (an OutreachBloom AI SEO plan) and run past $15,000 (Discovered Labs' top tier starts at €15,995).
- Volume and channels. Our $1,000 covers Reddit, YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X, so a cheap per-comment seller such as Mention.Broker or ReplyAgent gets you more Reddit comments for the same money.
- Minimum terms. ReddiReach and GrowReddit have 3-month minimums; CommunityMentions, SaaSy Links, Discovered Labs and Verticality run month to month.
Reddit Ads cost something different
Reddit Ads are sold by auction, and you pay only for the action you bid on. Reddit's own guides suggest $100 or more a day for a one- to two-week test of lower-funnel goals, or about $50 a day if you're driving traffic, and a budget of at least 3x your target cost per acquisition (Reddit's advertising cost guide, its budget planning guide). New advertisers can get $500 in ad credit after spending $500, under Reddit's conditions.
Ads stop when the spend stops. A comment stays in its thread unless a moderator removes it, and Google and AI engines can keep surfacing that thread. We place organic comments and don't run Reddit Ads.
The cheapest legitimate options
Doing it yourself costs nothing but time: we estimate 30 to 60 minutes a day to find threads, write replies that answer first, and see which ones moderators removed. The lowest published prices are the per-mention sellers: Mention.Broker's plans start at $34.99 a month for 10 mentions, with a free plan of 2, and ReplyAgent posts a comment for $4. Among monthly Reddit plans, SaaSy Links starts at $650 for B2B SaaS companies.
Cheap only works if you can check it. Whatever you pay, get a link to every comment, find out whose accounts post them, and see whether removed comments get counted in your report.
How to buy at your budget
Under $500 a month: do it yourself, or pay per mention. Put the hours you spend reviewing in the budget.
$650 to $3,000 a month: monthly services and entry agency plans. You're buying the writing, the posting and the accounts, so judge them on placements you can click.
$3,400 a month and up: agency programs. They make sense when you need strategy, content, AMAs or AI-search work bundled, and less sense when what you need is placements.
At any budget, start with something you can check. Our sample is free: paste your site and see the comments we'd post before you pay anything.
