Why people look beyond RedditMentions.

RedditMentions is a Reddit keyword alert service. You pick subreddits and keywords; it checks posts and comments every 30 minutes, around the clock, and sends a daily email digest of new matches at a time you choose, with instant Slack alerts and a filterable list of recent matches in the app. It never sends the same match twice. 1

It is priced to be an easy yes: Standard costs 4.49 euros a month for 5 subreddits and 5 keywords, and Pro 9.49 euros a month for 15 of each, with priority support. Both come with a 7-day free trial, billing is monthly only, and the free preview needs just an email and a password. 2

Upthread does not try to catch every mention. It looks for the Reddit threads Google and AI answers show your buyers, ranks them, drafts a reply inside each subreddit's rules with your disclosure, and tracks the reply after you post it.

Who should choose which.

Who should choose RedditMentions

  • You need cheap, simple alerts. RedditMentions costs 4.49 euros a month for 5 subreddits and 5 keywords, after a 7-day free trial. 2
  • You want every new keyword match in a few chosen subreddits, checked every 30 minutes and pushed to Slack as it is found. 1
  • You run monitoring for clients who pay for their own accounts: they grant you access, and you switch between them in one dashboard. 3

Who should choose Upthread

  • You want threads ranked by Google position, AI citations, buying intent and how the subreddit treats brands, so the first one you open is the one most worth a reply.
  • You want help with the reply itself: two drafts per thread, checked against the subreddit's rules, with your disclosure added when the brand comes up.
  • You want your brand measured inside AI answers, mention rate and share of voice per engine, next to the Reddit threads those answers cite.

Switching from RedditMentions.

Upthread begins with your website address, not a keyword list. It drafts a brand profile and suggests competitors, keywords, 15 to 25 buyer questions and focus subreddits, so your RedditMentions keywords and subreddits slot in during review. Then set your role and disclosure line, choose engines and a country, and the first runs start; the extension is optional, and the goal is a ranked inbox in under three minutes.

What you bring across

  • Your keywords and negative keywords, as Upthread keywords and negatives. A negative written as r/ and a subreddit's name drops every thread from it.
  • The subreddits you monitor, as focus subreddits. They lift a thread's priority without limiting Upthread to those subreddits.
  • Your Slack channel and your digest habit. Growth and Agency post high-priority threads, and complaints and support questions that name your brand, to Slack, and the email digest can be daily or weekly.

What works differently

  • RedditMentions checks your chosen subreddits for keyword matches every 30 minutes. Upthread finds threads through Google results and AI citations, wherever they are, and ranks each one by Google rank, citations per engine, buying intent, freshness and how the subreddit treats brands. 1
  • RedditMentions hands you the match, and no reply drafting is described. Upthread drafts two replies per thread, grounded in the thread, its top comments and the subreddit's rules, and adds your disclosure when the brand comes up. 1
  • RedditMentions keeps 7 days of match history and starts from the day you set it up. Upthread keeps each thread's citation history, and each reply's score and removals, for as long as you track it. 4
  • Upthread also tracks AI answers themselves: your mention rate and share of voice in Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, and the Reddit threads they cite.

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

RedditMentions and Upthread: questions.

Does RedditMentions draft or post replies?

No drafting or posting is described on its pages; it sends keyword matches by email and Slack. Upthread drafts two replies per thread and leaves the posting click, and the account it comes from, to you. 1

Where does RedditMentions get its Reddit data?

Its FAQ says "our Reddit scraper" checks your subreddits every 30 minutes. Upthread uses no Reddit API: threads come from Google results and AI citations, and a thread's text from your own browser or a paste. 1

Which one costs less?

RedditMentions, by a wide margin: 4.49 euros a month for Standard and 9.49 for Pro. Upthread Starter is $49 a month and covers drafting, AI answer tracking and reply records, none of which RedditMentions lists. 2

Can an agency use RedditMentions?

Yes. Clients grant an agency access to their own accounts, and it switches between them in one dashboard while each client pays for its plan. Upthread's Agency plan covers 15 brands and 10 seats under one subscription, with shareable reports. 3

Can I use RedditMentions and Upthread together?

Yes. Low-cost keyword alerts can keep watch on a few subreddits for any mention at all, while Upthread works the threads that search and AI answers put in front of buyers.
