Upthread vs Goodie
Goodie is a full-stack AEO platform: it tracks how AI models describe your brand, ranks the gaps, runs agents to close them and ties the results to revenue. Upthread works on one source those answers cite, Reddit, from the cited thread to your posted reply.

Why people look beyond Goodie.
Goodie calls itself a full-stack AEO platform. It researches the prompts buyers put to AI, monitors how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Grok and Meta AI talk about your brand, ranks the gaps, runs agents to close them, and measures the revenue that follows. 1
Its plans are priced for teams that want that whole loop. Core costs $295 a month billed annually for 5 models and 110 prompts tracked daily; Pro costs $999 for 8 models and 250 prompts; Enterprise, sold through a demo, tracks up to 14 models. Every plan includes unlimited seats and an AEO strategist. 2
Upthread covers a narrower slice of the same problem. When AI answers lean on Reddit threads, it finds those threads for your buyer questions, ranks them, drafts a reply that follows the subreddit's rules and carries your disclosure, and records what the reply did after you post it.
Who should choose which.
Who should choose Goodie
- You want AEO for the whole brand in one platform: prompt research, daily tracking on up to 14 models, content and technical fixes, and revenue attribution. 2
- You report to clients under your own brand. Goodie supports branded client reports and dashboards; Upthread's client reports are shareable links without white-label. 3
- You want a strategist on call: every Goodie plan includes AEO strategist support and unlimited seats. 2
Who should choose Upthread
- Your AEO dashboards keep listing Reddit threads among the cited sources, and you want each one turned into a reply you can post.
- You'd rather start small: one brand, a seven-day trial with no card, and a setup you finish yourself in a few minutes.
- You need proof at thread level: which cited thread you answered, how the reply scored, and whether moderators kept it up.

Switching from Goodie.
Setup takes your website address. Upthread drafts a brand profile and suggests buyer questions, competitors, keywords and focus subreddits; paste in the Goodie prompts that matter most for buying. Set your role and disclosure, pick engines and a country, and the first runs aim for a ranked inbox in under three minutes. The extension is optional.
What you bring across
- Your tracked prompts. The ones about buying become Upthread buyer questions, asked in Google's AI answers and the API engines.
- Your competitor list, each name with its aliases, for share of voice in AI answers and for spotting rivals inside Reddit threads.
- Your brand facts and voice. They ground every draft, and your disclosure line is added whenever a draft mentions you.
- Your client roster, if you're an agency: the Agency plan covers 15 brands and 10 seats, with a shareable report per client.
What works differently
- Goodie measures your brand every day across up to 14 models and acts through content, outreach, technical and social agents. Upthread acts in one place: the Reddit threads those answers cite. 2
- Goodie's recommendations target owned pages, journalists and publications, technical fixes and social profiles. Upthread's output is a drafted reply for one Reddit thread, checked against that subreddit's rules. 4
- Goodie collects answers daily. Upthread reads Google AI Overviews and AI Mode twice a week from live Google results, and asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude weekly through their APIs, labelled API. 2
- After you post, Upthread keeps the reply's record: its score over time, any moderator removal, and the thread's citations before and after.
Goodie and Upthread: questions.
Does Goodie work on Reddit threads?
Not as a feature. Its plans list deep citation analysis and agents for content, outreach, technical fixes and social, but no Reddit view or reply drafting. Upthread is built around the Reddit threads AI answers cite. 2
Which one tracks more AI engines?
Goodie. Core tracks 5 models, Pro 8 and Enterprise up to 14, all daily. Upthread tracks Google AI Overviews and AI Mode twice a week, and ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude weekly through their APIs. 2
Which one costs less?
Upthread. Goodie Core is $295 a month billed annually; Upthread Starter is $49 a month, or $490 a year. Goodie's price covers a much broader AEO platform, so compare the parts you'll use. 2
Can an agency use Goodie or Upthread?
Both. Goodie offers multi-client dashboards and branded client reports. Upthread's Agency plan is $499 a month for 15 brands and 10 seats, with shareable read-only reports and no white-label yet. 3
Can I use Goodie and Upthread together?
Yes. Let a broad AEO platform track the brand across every model and source, and give the Reddit share of that work to Upthread: the cited threads, the drafts, and the record of each reply.
