Why people look beyond FixAEO.

FixAEO is an AEO tool that shows how your brand appears in AI answers. It scans your site, checks on a recurring schedule how up to nine AI engines describe and cite you, and ranks the fixes by impact; its AI Marketer and 17 ready-made Agents then draft the work for your team to review. 1

It starts free, with one anonymous scan a day from its Chrome extension. Lite costs $29 a month, or $25 billed yearly, for 2 brands, 15 tracked prompts and 6 engines re-scanned every 72 hours; Growth costs $79, or $68 billed yearly, for 5 brands, 50 prompts and daily scans. Enterprise, with all 9 engines, is custom. 2

Reddit shows up in one place in its scoring. The Web Presence score averages four platforms, and its Reddit tile is a log-scaled count of hits from Reddit's public JSON search, scored next to Wikipedia, X and YouTube. 3

Upthread works inside the threads themselves. It collects the Reddit threads that Google results and AI answers cite for your buyer questions, ranks them, and drafts two replies per thread that follow the subreddit's rules. You post from your own account, and Upthread tracks the reply afterwards.

Who should choose which.

Switching from FixAEO.

Give Upthread your website address and it drafts a brand profile, then suggests buyer questions, competitors, keywords and focus subreddits for you to edit; your FixAEO prompts fit in as buyer questions. Choose your role, the disclosure line your replies carry, your engines and a country, and the first discovery and visibility runs start, aiming at a ranked inbox inside three minutes. The extension is optional.

What you bring across

  • Your tracked prompts. Those a buyer would ask move in as Upthread buyer questions, run in Google's AI answers and in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude.
  • Your competitor leaderboard. Add each rival with its aliases, and Upthread counts them in share of voice and spots them inside cited threads.
  • Your Slack channel. On Growth and Agency, Upthread posts its alerts there, alongside daily or weekly email digests.

What works differently

  • FixAEO counts how often your brand turns up on Reddit, through Reddit's public JSON search. Upthread finds the specific threads through Google results and AI citations and reads them in your logged-in browser. 3
  • FixAEO's Agents draft briefs, pages, FAQs and outreach for review. Upthread drafts Reddit replies, two per thread, grounded in the thread, its top comments and the subreddit's rules, with your disclosure. 4
  • FixAEO re-scans 6 engines every 72 hours on Lite and daily on Growth. Upthread checks Google AI Overviews and AI Mode twice a week from live results, and ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude weekly through their APIs. 2

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. 5
  2. 9to5Mac reported that Reddit will start requiring a logged-in account for most of its content. 6
  3. Reddit's CEO said most unauthorized access to its content happens through the logged-out experience. 7

FixAEO and Upthread: questions.

Does FixAEO write Reddit replies?

No reply drafting is described. Its 17 Agent templates cover briefs, refreshes, FAQs, comparison pages, reports, support content and outreach, each kept for your review. Upthread drafts the Reddit reply itself, two per thread. 4

Can I use FixAEO and Upthread together?

Yes. Use an AEO tracker to watch your site, its crawlers and engines Upthread doesn't cover, and use Upthread for the Reddit threads those answers cite, from the ranked thread to the reply you post.
