Why people look beyond ReplyGuy.

ReplyGuy is built to mention your product in online conversations. You choose keywords, it tracks mentions of them across the internet, its AI picks recent, relevant posts where your product fits, and it writes a reply that aims to help the poster and mention you when relevant. 1

It also does the posting. Every plan lists auto-replies and screenshot proof of every reply, and its FAQ says that for Reddit it uses purchased accounts, provided to you by email within a few days of subscribing. Plans run $49 to $499 a month, paid in credits: a posted reply costs 1, and so does each comment it finds. 1

Upthread takes the opposite approach to posting. It finds the Reddit threads Google and AI answers show your buyers, drafts a reply that follows the subreddit's rules and carries your disclosure, and leaves the Comment button to you, on the account you already use.

Who should choose which.

Who should choose ReplyGuy

  • You want replies posted for you, with a screenshot of each one. Upthread never posts for you. 1
  • You want to reach people on X, Hacker News and YouTube as well as Reddit. Upthread covers Reddit only. 2
  • You want a free look first: its brand audit takes about 15 seconds and needs no account. 2

Who should choose Upthread

  • You want every reply to come from the one account you already own, posted by a person on your team.
  • Your brand needs a record it can defend: a disclosure line on drafts that name you, and no bought accounts.
  • You care which Reddit threads Google and AI answers put in front of buyers, not only where your keywords appear.

Switching from ReplyGuy.

Enter your website address and Upthread drafts a brand profile, then suggests competitors, keywords, buyer questions and focus subreddits for you to keep or change. Set your role and disclosure line, choose engines and a country, and the first discovery and visibility runs start. Install the extension last if you want drafts placed in the comment box; the aim is a ranked inbox in under three minutes.

What you bring across

  • Your keyword list. Each term becomes an Upthread keyword, and the ones that pulled in noise become negative keywords.
  • Your product and website. Upthread reads your homepage and a few key pages, then suggests competitors, buyer questions and focus subreddits to edit.
  • Your own Reddit account. Upthread drafts for the account you post from; the browser extension can insert a draft, and you click Comment.

What works differently

  • ReplyGuy posts replies for you and, on Reddit, uses purchased accounts. Upthread never posts and supplies no accounts: the extension can place a draft in the comment box, and you decide whether to click Comment. 1
  • ReplyGuy writes replies that mention your product when relevant. Upthread drafts two replies per thread, grounded in the thread, its top comments and the subreddit's rules, and adds your disclosure whenever a draft names your brand. 1
  • ReplyGuy shows that a reply went live with a screenshot. Upthread follows each reply after you post it: its score over time, whether moderators removed it, and the thread's citation history. 2
  • Upthread ranks threads by how often Google and AI answers surface them, so your queue starts with the conversations buyers are most likely to read.

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. 4
  2. 9to5Mac reported that Reddit will start requiring a logged-in account for most of its content. 5
  3. Reddit's CEO said most unauthorized access to its content happens through the logged-out experience. 6

ReplyGuy and Upthread: questions.

Does ReplyGuy post replies for me?

Yes. Every plan lists auto-replies, and for Reddit its FAQ says it uses purchased accounts provided by email after you subscribe. Upthread never posts: you review the draft and post it from your own account. 1

Where does ReplyGuy look for conversations?

Its audit page says it searches Reddit, X, Hacker News, YouTube and more; it doesn't say how it reads Reddit. Upthread finds Reddit threads through Google results and AI answer citations, without Reddit's API. 2

Which one costs less?

ReplyGuy's plans start at $49 a month for 100 credits, and Upthread Starter costs $49 a month. A ReplyGuy credit buys one found comment or one posted reply; Upthread Starter includes 150 drafts a month and AI answer tracking. 1

Is there a free way to try ReplyGuy?

Yes: its brand audit is free, takes about 15 seconds and needs no account. Upthread's trial lasts 7 days, with Starter limits and no card required. 2

Can I use ReplyGuy and Upthread together?

Yes, if you split the work by network. Keep whichever tool you like for other platforms, and use Upthread for Reddit, where every reply goes out from your own account with your disclosure.
