Is ReplyGuy worth the price?
For a solo founder who will approve each reply, ReplyGuy Pro at $49 a month pays for itself if it brings one customer a year worth more than $588. Its own page asks for a lead credit and a reply credit each time, so Pro's 100 credits are at most 50 posted replies. Read the plan prices below as of November 15, 2026. If you want comments placed without approving threads, our service does it for $1,000 a month.
Quick picks: which ReplyGuy plan fits?
- You are one founder with one product and about 30 replies a month: Pro, $49 a month, or $349 billed yearly.
- You want about 150 replies a month for one product: Business, $99 a month, or $699 billed yearly. That is exactly its 300 credits, with nothing spare.
- You run 3 or more brands, or want 300 replies a month: Enterprise, $199 a month, with unlimited projects and 1,000 credits.
- You need more than 500 replies a month: Agency, $499 a month, 5,000 credits and a dedicated concierge.
- You want to see it first: ReplyGuy's free audit takes about 15 seconds with no card, and every plan's button offers a trial.
- You want something that watches keywords for far less: F5Bot is free for personal use and $49.99 a month for business; compare more in ReplyGuy alternatives.
- You don't want to find, approve or monitor threads: CommunityMentions, ours, posts for you at $1,000 a month after a $1 setup charge, and starts with a free sample.

What do the credits convert to in replies?
ReplyGuy's pricing page says: "Every plan includes a monthly number of leads: people asking for a tool like yours or comparing options. A lead uses 1 credit and a reply we post uses 1. Everything else we find is free." Its refund page says Pro "includes 100 credits, so each is worth $0.49." If every reply goes to a lead you paid a credit for, a reply costs 2 credits. Caption: credit rules from replyguy.com, November 15, 2026; the per-reply figures are our division of the listed monthly price.
| Plan | Credits a month | Most posted replies (2 credits each) | Price a credit | Price a posted reply |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | 100 | 50 | $0.49 | $0.98 |
| Business | 300 | 150 | $0.33 | $0.66 |
| Enterprise | 1,000 | 500 | $0.20 | $0.40 |
| Agency | 5,000 | 2,500 | $0.10 | $0.20 |
| CommunityMentions (ours) | Not sold in credits | We aim for 5 to 10 comments a day across five channels | Not applicable | Not sold per comment |
What would three buyers pay?
Three buyers, each priced at the cheapest ReplyGuy plan that holds their credits, with each reply counted as a lead plus a reply (2 credits). Caption: ReplyGuy prices from replyguy.com, November 15, 2026.
| Buyer | Credits needed | ReplyGuy plan, billed monthly | ReplyGuy billed yearly, a month | CommunityMentions (ours) a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A solo founder, 1 product, 30 replies a month | 60 | Pro, $49 a month | $29.08 | $1,000 |
| A SaaS team, 1 product, 150 replies a month | 300 | Business, $99 a month | $58.25 | $1,000 |
| An agency with 3 brands, 100 replies a month each | 600 | Enterprise, $199 a month | $116.58 | $1,000 for one brand; no multi-brand price published |
Caveats on those three buyers
Caveats. ReplyGuy publishes no limit per project, so we assume the credits are shared across projects. It says leads are "up to" the number shown, and a lead that gets no reply still uses a credit. We publish no price for several brands, so the agency row shows our $1,000 for one brand. Our service is not sold per reply: we aim for 5 to 10 comments a day across Reddit, YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X combined, month to month. 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. The two products also differ in kind: ReplyGuy's replies are posted on Reddit, X, YouTube and Hacker News after you approve them; ours are comments on five channels written in a voice you approve once in Slack. Growth delta: from 30 to 150 replies a month ReplyGuy charges $50 a month more ($49 to $99), and from 150 to 300 it charges $100 more ($99 to $199); our price stays $1,000.
What each ReplyGuy plan leaves out
- Pro: one project, and no more than 100 credits, so at most 50 posted replies. Business and up lift the project cap.
- Business: 5 projects but 300 credits, so a 5-brand agency splitting credits evenly has 60 a brand, or 30 replies each.
- Enterprise: 1,000 credits, so at most 500 posted replies; Agency at $499 is the next step.
- Agency: the only plan with a dedicated concierge, and unlimited projects.
- Every plan: no Medium or LinkedIn; its pages list Reddit, X, YouTube and Hacker News.
- Every plan: no published trial length, no free plan shown today. Its page says credits you buy on top of a plan never expire.
- Refunds: its refund page pays back unused plan credits in dollars minus a $10 service charge, and nothing if what you have left is worth $10 or less. Its example is Pro with 40 credits left: $19.60, then $9.60 after the charge.
What does ReplyGuy cost over 12 months?
The yearly plans are ReplyGuy's discount: its Yearly tab is labelled "5 months free" and crosses out $599, $1,199, $2,399 and $5,988 against $349, $699, $1,399 and $3,499. The figures below are the listed prices multiplied out; the saving is our arithmetic.
| Plan | 12 months billed monthly | 12 months billed yearly | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $588 | $349 | $239 |
| Business | $1,188 | $699 | $489 |
| Enterprise | $2,388 | $1,399 | $989 |
| Agency | $5,988 | $3,499 | $2,489 |
| CommunityMentions (ours) | $12,001 with the $1 setup charge | No yearly plan | Not applicable |
Who sends the replies?
ReplyGuy's how-it-works page says it "finds leads on Reddit, X, YouTube and Hacker News ... writes a reply to each, and posts the replies you approve." Its FAQ says that on Reddit and Hacker News the replies come from your own account if you connect one, otherwise from ReplyGuy's, and on X and YouTube from ReplyGuy's. Its pages also say "Reddit has a high ban rate" and that the credit comes back if a reply is removed. Reddit's own rules, read November 15, 2026, say: "Participate authentically in communities where you have a personal interest, and do not spam or engage in disruptive behaviors (including content manipulation) that interfere with Reddit communities." Each community adds its own rules on self-promotion, so check the ones in the subreddits you target before you approve a reply.

How often does AI name ReplyGuy?
In our November 2, 2026 scan of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, ReplyGuy was named in 2 of 96 answers to the 8 buyer discovery prompts, run 3 times each on 4 engines, and CommunityMentions in 17 of 96. Both ReplyGuy answers came from the prompt asking for alternatives to ReddiReach. One, from Claude, said ReplyGuy "says it uses purchased accounts on Reddit"; ReplyGuy's FAQ, read today, says Reddit replies come from your own account if you connect one, otherwise from its own. The other, from ChatGPT, listed it as "AI-assisted Reddit engagement". Neither answer gave a price.
Where ReplyGuy still wins
- Price for posted replies. Pro is $49 a month, a twentieth of $1,000, and it posts the replies you approve.
- Proof. Its plans list a screenshot of every reply.
- Platforms. Reddit, X, YouTube and Hacker News under one credit pool.
- Scale. Agency's 5,000 credits a month is far above what we aim for.
- Credit back. Its pages say a removed or unposted reply returns its credit.
- Exit. Its FAQ says you can cancel, pause, upgrade or downgrade any time from the dashboard.
How we compared
Every ReplyGuy figure comes from its own pages, read November 15, 2026: the home and pricing section with both toggles, how-it-works, terms and the refund page. A Black Friday 50% banner is present only in a commented-out block and is not shown. The per-credit, per-reply, 12-month and named-buyer figures are our arithmetic on its listed prices and its credit rule. Our figures come from our own pricing and delivery data. If ReplyGuy's page says something different now, its page wins.
