Why people look beyond AIclicks.

AIclicks is an AI search visibility platform. It tracks how often engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews mention your brand, logs the sources each answer cites and how it describes you, and turns the gaps into a ranked list of actions, with an agent called Clicky inside. 1

Starter costs $59 a month for 30 prompts on 3 models you pick, Pro $189 for 150 prompts on 4, and Business $499 for 300 prompts on 6, all run daily, with AI-optimized articles included. Yearly billing takes up to 29% off, and every plan starts with a 3-day trial that needs a card. 2

AIclicks also sells managed services. Its Reddit service finds threads that rank on Google or show up in AI answers and places your brand in comments written by its own practitioners, from aged accounts it operates rather than yours; placements start at $75. 3

Upthread stays on your side of the keyboard. It finds the Reddit threads Google and AI answers cite for your buyer questions, drafts two replies per thread within the subreddit's rules, and leaves the posting to you, from your own account.

Who should choose which.

Who should choose AIclicks

  • You want daily checks on a wide choice of models, from Microsoft Copilot and Naver AI to Grok, Mistral and Qwen. 2
  • You want Reddit done for you: its managed service writes and places the comments from its own aged accounts, so your account is never used. 3
  • You want AI-optimized articles in the same plan as your tracking: 5 a month on Starter, up to 30 on Business. 2

Who should choose Upthread

  • You want every Reddit comment to come from your own account, in your own words, with a disclosure when it names your brand.
  • You want to choose which Reddit threads to answer yourself, from a ranked list of the ones Google and AI engines cite.
  • You need each subreddit's rules checked before you post, and each reply's score and any removal tracked after.

What it watches

RedditDifferent approach
AIclicksIts managed service finds Reddit threads that rank on Google or appear in AI answers, and its team comments in them. 3
UpthreadEach Reddit thread Google ranks or the engines cite, ranked by priority, with the subreddit's rules, for you to answer.
How it reads RedditDifferent approach
AIclicksFor its Reddit service: threads that rank on Google and threads that appear in AI answers. How it reads them isn't stated. 3
UpthreadBuilt on your own logged-in browser, so Reddit's move to logged-in-only viewing doesn't break it. Discovery comes from Google results and AI citations, with no Reddit API.

Replying

Acting on itDifferent approach
AIclicksA ranked action list: AI-optimized content, mentions on sources AI already trusts, and Reddit conversations to join. 1
UpthreadTwo drafts per thread, grounded in the thread, its top comments, the subreddit's rules and your facts. A lint and an AI judge check each one first.
PostingDifferent approach
AIclicksIts Reddit service posts for you from aged accounts it operates, at 3 to 5 comments per account per week. 3
UpthreadYou post from your own account. The extension can insert the draft; you click Comment.

After you post

Switching from AIclicks.

Switching is quick. Paste your website and Upthread drafts a brand profile, then suggests buyer questions, competitors, keywords and focus subreddits; bring your AIclicks prompts across as buyer questions. Add your role and a disclosure line, choose engines and a country, and the first runs fill a ranked inbox. Installing the extension comes last and is optional.

What you bring across

  • Your tracked prompts, which become Upthread buyer questions, asked in the engines you choose and in your country.
  • Your competitor set, with aliases, for share of voice per engine and for spotting rival brands named inside cited threads.
  • Your brand facts and positioning, which every Upthread draft is grounded in, with your disclosure line added when it names you.

What works differently

  • AIclicks can place Reddit comments for you from aged accounts its team operates. Upthread never posts and never supplies accounts: it drafts the reply, and you post it from your own account. 3
  • AIclicks runs your prompts daily on 3 to 6 models you pick from its list. Upthread reads Google AI Overviews and AI Mode twice a week from live results, and asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude weekly through their APIs, labelled API. 2
  • AIclicks ranks actions across content, trusted sources and Reddit conversations. Upthread ranks Reddit threads only, by Google rank, AI citations per engine, buying intent, freshness and how the subreddit treats brands. 1
  • Every reply you post stays on record in Upthread: how its score moves, whether moderators remove it, and how often the engines cite the thread afterwards.

How Reddit access is changing

Reddit is closing its public API and moving toward logged-in viewing. This matters for any tool that reads Reddit, so each comparison states only what the tool itself says about its data source.

  1. On Oct 29, 2026, Reddit said it will shift to a primarily logged-in experience, starting with tests in select markets outside the US. 4
  2. 9to5Mac reported that Reddit will start requiring a logged-in account for most of its content. 5
  3. Reddit's CEO said most unauthorized access to its content happens through the logged-out experience. 6

AIclicks and Upthread: questions.

Does AIclicks post on Reddit for me?

Its managed Reddit service does: its team places comments from aged accounts it operates, never your own, from $75 per placement. Upthread never posts for you; it drafts the reply, and you post it from your own account. 3

Which AI engines does each one track?

AIclicks lets you pick 3, 4 or 6 models by plan from a list that includes ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and Naver AI, run daily. Upthread tracks Google AI Overviews and AI Mode plus ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude; Starter takes 3 of them. 2

Which one costs less?

AIclicks Starter is $59 a month for 30 prompts on 3 models. Upthread Starter is $49 a month for 1 brand, 25 buyer questions and 150 reply drafts, with a 7-day trial that needs no card. 2

Can an agency use AIclicks or Upthread?

Yes. AIclicks offers agencies custom pricing based on client volume, and each brand can be its own project. Upthread's Agency plan is $499 a month for 15 brands and 10 seats, with shareable reports and no white-label yet. 2

Can I use AIclicks and Upthread together?

Yes. Use a broad tracker for the many engines and sources behind your AI visibility, and Upthread for the Reddit threads in those answers: which ones to answer, a draft within the rules, and the reply's record after you post.
