Upthread vs Linksii
Linksii checks every day what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity say when buyers ask about your category, scores the sources they cite and suggests the next move. Upthread works on the Reddit threads those answers cite: it ranks them, drafts a reply you post, and tracks it.

Why people look beyond Linksii.
Linksii is an AI visibility platform. Every day it tracks what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity say when buyers ask about your category, and shows when you are recommended, where you rank in the answer, how you are described and which sources the assistants cite. 1
Plans are priced by tracked prompts: Starter costs $89 a month for 25 prompts in 3 countries, Pro $199 for 100 prompts with competitor benchmarking, and Agency $399 for 200 prompts and 20 client workspaces, or $69, $159 and $319 a month billed annually. Each starts with a 7-day free trial and no card. 2
Its docs explain the mechanics: a scheduled job sends every prompt to the four assistants each day, with web search on for ChatGPT and Claude, and each cited source is classed by type and scored. Reddit sits in the user-generated group, beside Quora, Stack Overflow and GitHub. 3
Upthread treats those Reddit citations as the work itself. It finds the threads that AI answers and Google results put in front of your buyers, ranks them, drafts two replies per thread that follow the subreddit's rules and your disclosure, and tracks each reply after you post it.

Switching from Linksii.
Your website address is the starting point. Upthread reads it, drafts a brand profile, and suggests buyer questions, competitors, keywords and focus subreddits for you to keep or change; your Linksii prompts can go straight in as questions. Set your role and disclosure line, pick engines and a country, and the first discovery and visibility runs start, the goal being a ranked inbox inside three minutes. The extension is optional.
What you bring across
- Your tracked prompts. The buying questions among them become Upthread buyer questions, run in Google's AI answers and the API engines.
- Your decision-stage prompts first. Upthread ranks threads partly by buying intent, so purchase questions bring up the threads that matter.
- Your competitors with their aliases, for share of voice per engine and to see which rivals the cited threads recommend.
What works differently
- Linksii classes Reddit as one user-generated source among many. Upthread keeps every Reddit thread the engines cite, adds threads ranking in Google, and ranks them by Google rank, citations, buying intent and freshness. 3
- Linksii re-runs every prompt daily in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. 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
- Linksii's recommendations engine hands you an ordered list of moves for each gap. Upthread hands you a reply: two drafts per thread, checked against the subreddit's rules, for you to post. 2
