Reddit Pro alternatives
6 tools worth comparing with Reddit Pro, including ours, with what each does, what it costs and who it suits. Each price was read on the tool's own site.
Why people look beyond Reddit Pro
Reddit Pro is free and official, so few people leave it because of the price. They look further when they want something it doesn't do: writing the posts, posting on a schedule without a person, alerts in Slack or email, or tracking on sites other than Reddit.
Here are the tools worth comparing. Most work alongside Reddit Pro, not in place of it. Prices are as each site stated them on the day we checked.
Reddit Pro itself: Reddit Pro is Reddit's own free set of tools for businesses: a business profile, keyword tracking, and numbers on how your posts and comments do. See our full Subgrow vs Reddit Pro comparison for the detail.
What to look for
- Who does the writing. Reddit Pro leaves it to you. Decide whether you want a tool that drafts, a service that posts, or just better alerts.
- Whose account posts. Your brand's own account is the safe answer. Ask any tool which account it uses.
- Where the alerts go. If you want mentions in Slack or email, or from sites beyond Reddit, check that first.
- What it adds to free. Reddit Pro already covers profile, keyword tracking and analytics. A paid tool should do something else.
