Prospy vs other social listening and Reddit tools
How Prospy compares with 19 tools people weigh it against: Reddit lead tools, keyword alert tools, social listening suites and social media managers. Each page says when the other tool is the better pick.
UpdatedMost social listening tools are built for brand and PR teams: they count mentions, track sentiment and report reach. Reddit lead tools split into ones that post for you and ones that leave the reply to you. Prospy is a listening tool built to find customers, and it leaves the reply to you: it watches 12 sources once a day, scores every mention for buying intent, flags threads that rank on Google and never posts on your behalf.

Which of these tools post on Reddit for you?
Bazzly posts comments through what it calls aged, high-karma Reddit accounts, or from your own account through its Chrome extension. ReplyGuy's site says it uses purchased Reddit accounts. RedShip, Octolens and ParseStream draft replies for you to post yourself. Prospy never posts, comments, votes or sends messages for you.
Which tool is best for finding customers on Reddit?
It depends on how you want to reply. To reply yourself and cover more than Reddit, Prospy watches 12 sources and scores each mention for buying intent. For Reddit only, RedShip finds and scores threads, and F5Bot sends free keyword alerts. If you want replies posted for you, Bazzly and ReplyGuy do that, from accounts that are not yours.
How were these comparisons made?
Each competitor's facts come from its own website, read on the date shown on its page. When a site does not state something, the table says so rather than guessing. Prospy's prices come from its live billing catalog. Prospy is not affiliated with any of these companies.
