Comparison

ReplyHey vs Brand24

Brand24 answers “what is the internet saying about us?” for brand teams. ReplyHey answers “which Reddit thread should I reply to today?” for the person doing the replying.

Brand24 details read from their site in August 2026. Pricing moves — check theirs before you decide.

What Brand24 is

Brand24 is a social listening suite: it monitors Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Quora, Medium, Twitch, news, blogs, reviews, newsletters and podcasts, runs sentiment analysis on everything, and turns the stream into daily and weekly reports. Higher tiers add AI insights, event detection, an AI brand assistant and advanced reporting. It is a mature product built for brand and PR teams who need to know what is being said, prove it in a deck, and catch a crisis early.

Pricing is enterprise-shaped: Individual at $249/month for 3 keywords and 2,000 mentions, Team at $349, Pro at $499, Business at $699, Enterprise from $1,499 — with a 14-day no-card trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. The metered units, keywords and mentions, say who it is for: organisations whose problem is volume and whose output is reporting.

ReplyHey is not a smaller Brand24; it is a different job. One platform, no meters, and the output is not a chart — it is today’s scored threads with the evidence quoted, the subreddit rules checked and the reply drafted. Brand24 tells the brand team what happened. ReplyHey tells a founder what to do next.

Where Brand24 is better

  • Coverage: essentially the whole social web plus news, reviews and podcasts. ReplyHey is Reddit only.
  • Sentiment analysis and report tooling that survive contact with a marketing department.
  • Crisis detection — hours matter when something is going wrong publicly, and this is built for that.
  • A 14-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee is confident selling for the price.

Pick Brand24 if…

You are a brand, PR or marketing team that needs cross-platform listening, sentiment trends and deck-ready reports — or a crisis alarm. That is Brand24’s actual job and it is good at it. Nobody should buy ReplyHey to make a monthly listening report; nobody should pay $249 a month to find four Reddit threads.

Where we differ

01Listening and answering are different jobs

Brand24’s pipeline ends in knowing: dashboards, sentiment, a report someone presents. ReplyHey’s ends in doing: a comment posted in a thread where someone asked for what you sell. Both are legitimate — but buying one to do the other’s job is how tools get blamed for their buyers’ mistakes. The test is what you want on Friday: a chart of the week, or five replies you actually sent.

02Three keywords is a strange fit for a founder

At $249 a month, Brand24’s entry plan meters you to three keywords — sized for a brand name and two products, not for the long tail of problem-phrases where Reddit leads actually live. ReplyHey derives that long tail from your site and caps nothing, at $24.99. The plans are not unfair; they are priced for a customer who is not you.

03Reddit as one source versus Reddit as the product

A suite that covers twenty platforms treats Reddit as a stream to ingest. ReplyHey treats it as a place with local law: every subreddit’s live rules checked before a draft is shown, DM routing where promotion is banned, the free-promo-thread feed, a posting calendar. None of that generalises across platforms, which is precisely why suites do not build it.

Whichever you pick: nothing should post to Reddit as you. That is the line the account bans are on.

ReplyHey vs Brand24: questions

Is ReplyHey a cheap Brand24 alternative?+

Only if the part of Brand24 you actually used was Reddit — in which case you were overpaying for the other nineteen platforms. If you use the sentiment reports, the news coverage or the crisis alerts, ReplyHey does not replace them and this page will not pretend it does.

Can I use both?+

Companies do: Brand24 as the brand team’s listening layer, ReplyHey as the founder’s or growth team’s Reddit workflow. They do not overlap enough to fight; one produces reports, the other produces replies.

Why doesn’t ReplyHey do sentiment analysis?+

Because at the scale of a daily shortlist you do not need a classifier — the quote that earned the score is right there, and you can tell praise from a complaint in the time the label would take to read. Sentiment earns its keep at ten thousand mentions a month; that is Brand24’s scale, not ours.
