Who should choose which.

Switching from Konnect Insights.

Upthread sets up from your website, not from connected accounts. It drafts a brand profile and suggests keywords, competitors, buyer questions and focus subreddits for you to edit. Set the role and disclosure line your replies carry, choose engines and a country, and the first discovery and visibility runs fill a ranked inbox, with under three minutes as the aim. The browser extension, which also catches rule changes, is optional.

What you bring across

  • Your listening keywords. Brand and product terms become Upthread keywords, and the terms you exclude become negative keywords.
  • The competitors you track, each with its aliases, for share of voice in AI answers and for spotting them inside threads.
  • Your support triage. Upthread labels the Reddit threads that name your brand, so complaints and support questions stand out, and sends them to Slack on Growth and Agency.

What works differently

  • Konnect Insights listens across 30+ sources and routes mentions to the right team or a ticket. Upthread reads only Reddit, and ranks threads by Google rank, AI citations per engine, buying intent, freshness and how the subreddit treats brands. 2
  • Konnect Insights captures Reddit content through search crawlers and marks replying to it as unavailable. Upthread drafts the reply and the extension can insert it, and you click Comment yourself. 4
  • Konnect Insights suggests replies with AI for the conversations in its inbox. Upthread writes two drafts per Reddit thread from its top comments and the subreddit's rules, each checked by a lint and an AI judge. 3
  • After you post, Upthread follows the reply's score over time, any moderator removal, and the thread's citations in AI answers.

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
