# ReplyGuy alternatives for founders and SaaS teams who want customers from Reddit: 11 options priced November 15, 2026

By [Ryan Doyle](https://rpdoyle.com), founder of CommunityMentions. Updated November 15, 2026.

For founders and SaaS teams weighing ReplyGuy: on November 15, 2026 it cost $49 a month (Pro) up to $499 (Agency), and it drafts and posts the replies you approve on Reddit, X, YouTube and Hacker News. Cheaper, where you post yourself: Redreach from $19, RedShip from $29. Done for you: CommunityMentions, which is ours, at $1,000 a month.

- **$49**: ReplyGuy Pro a month: 10 keywords, up to 100 leads (read Nov 15, 2026)
- **$499**: ReplyGuy Agency a month: up to 5,000 leads
- **2 of 96**: AI answers to Reddit marketing questions that named ReplyGuy, our scan of Nov 2, 2026
- **$1,000**: CommunityMentions a month, month to month, after a $1 setup charge

## Short answer

ReplyGuy sells credits: a lead costs 1 credit and a reply it posts costs 1, so Pro's 100 credits cover at most 50 posted replies. The 11 options below fall into three groups. You find threads and post yourself: Redreach, RedShip, Subreddit Signals, KWatch, Syften, F5Bot, Octolens. A service posts from its own accounts: ReplyAgent and Mention.Broker. A team does all of it: OutreachBloom drafts for you to post, and CommunityMentions, ours, posts. Every price was read from the vendor's own page on November 15, 2026.

## Quick picks: what do you need?

## Why people look past ReplyGuy

- Credits, not replies. Its pricing page says "A lead uses 1 credit and a reply we post uses 1," so Pro's "up to 100 leads" is at most 50 posted replies if every lead gets one.
- Reddit risk, in its own words. Its FAQ says "Reddit has a high ban rate: accounts get banned and replies get removed far more often than on the other platforms." Its page says the credit comes back for a removed reply.
- Whose account posts. Its FAQ says replies on Reddit and Hacker News come from your own account if you connect one, otherwise from ReplyGuy's, and on X and YouTube from ReplyGuy's. Check which one you are on before the first reply goes out.
- Four platforms. It lists Reddit, X, YouTube and Hacker News; Medium and LinkedIn are not among them.
- Partial refunds. Its refund page, updated November 13, 2026, pays back unused plan credits in dollars minus a $10 service charge, so Pro with 40 credits left returns $9.60.
- No stated result rate. Its FAQ says "Within 1-2 weeks, many customers report an uptick in users," with no count of customers or replies behind it.

## What a year of each costs

The plan one brand would start on, at the price read November 15, 2026, billed monthly unless noted. ReplyAgent is 30 comments a month at $4 with no AI plan. Octolens is its annual-billing price.

## Which tools do AI answers suggest instead?

In our scan of November 2, 2026, we asked ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity eight buyer questions about Reddit marketing, three times each, so 96 answers in all. ReplyGuy was named in 2 of them (Claude 1, ChatGPT 1), both on "What are the best alternatives to ReddiReach?". The counts below use the same method for the tools on this page: an answer counts once when its text names the tool.

| Tool | Answers naming it (of 96) |
| --- | --- |
| OutreachBloom | 29 |
| Syften | 18 |
| F5Bot | 18 |
| CommunityMentions (ours) | 17 |

| RedShip | 8 |
| Subreddit Signals | 6 |
| KWatch | 6 |

## Where ReplyGuy still wins

- Price for a tool that posts. $49 a month is a small bet next to $1,000, and its Agency plan is $499 for up to 5,000 leads.
- Posting built in. The tools that only alert or draft leave the posting to you; ReplyGuy sends the replies you approve.
- Screenshot proof of every reply, listed on Pro and every plan above it.
- Platforms beyond Reddit. X, YouTube and Hacker News are on its list next to Reddit, for one price.
- Removed replies. Its pages say the credit comes back if a reply never posts or is removed.
- Leaving and changing plans. Its FAQ says you can cancel, pause, upgrade or downgrade any time from the dashboard.

## Which one fits

Stay with ReplyGuy if you want replies posted for you under $500 a month and you will approve each one. Move to Redreach, RedShip or Subreddit Signals if you would rather write each reply, from $19 to $29 a month. Move to ReplyAgent or Mention.Broker if you pick the threads and want real accounts to post. Choose OutreachBloom if you want a team to draft daily and you post from your own account, at $1,900. Choose CommunityMentions if you want threads found, comments written in a voice you approve in Slack, and posting done daily on Reddit, YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X for $1,000 a month, month to month, billed monthly only after you approve the setup in Slack. We aim for 5 to 10 comments a day across those channels combined. In the 30 days from October 7 to November 5, 2026, the median of 55 client brands got 49 verified placements across those channels, 9 of them on Reddit. The middle half ran from 2 to 123. That count includes brands that started or paused partway through the window.

## How we compared

Every price comes from the company's own page on November 15, 2026, read with a browser-like request; Redreach's prices render by JavaScript, so we read them in a browser. Tools whose price we could not read that day are left out. The AI answer counts come from CommunityMentions' own scan of 96 answers on November 2, 2026. The 12-month figures are our arithmetic on the listed prices. If a company's page says something different now, its page wins.
