Frequently asked questions
Honest answers — including the uncomfortable ones.
What counts as an opportunity?
A Reddit post we've scored for buying intent and saved to your dashboard. Scanning itself is unlimited — quota only applies to posts we actually score, so you're never charged for noise.
Is there a free trial of paid plans?
The free Starter plan is the trial — 1 project, 50 opportunities, 15 AI drafts and 2 promo posts a month, forever, no card required. Paid plans also come with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
How does the 21% annual discount work?
Choose annual billing on any paid plan and you pay monthly × 12 × 0.79 — Growth is $370/yr instead of $468, Scale is $939/yr instead of $1,188. The discount applies automatically at checkout.
Do I need to connect my Reddit account?
It's optional but recommended. Connecting via Reddit's official OAuth flow lets you post approved replies, DMs and promo posts in one click under your own username. You can also review drafts and post manually — every feature works without a connected account.
Is posting through CommentSurge safe for my account?
Yes. Posting happens through Reddit's official API under your own account, only when you click 'post'. We never auto-publish, never use third-party or warmed accounts, and never buy upvotes. Built-in pacing caps (default 3 posts/day) and subreddit-rule checks keep your account healthy.
Will my Reddit account get banned?
Your account stays safe if you stay helpful. Reddit's sitewide rules ban spam and vote manipulation — not genuine, disclosed founder participation. Moderators can remove comments that break subreddit rules, which is why every draft is checked against that subreddit's rules and our 7-day warm-up roadmap paces new accounts. Removal (not bans) is the realistic risk, and we track it so you can see it.
Do you use bots, warmed accounts, or buy upvotes?
No — never. Everything posts under your own account after your explicit approval. We don't operate warmed account farms, don't buy or coordinate votes, and don't auto-post. Tools that do those things are why Reddit marketing has a sketchy reputation; we built the opposite.
What is buying-intent scoring?
Every post is scored on two axes: buying intent (is this person actively looking to purchase or switch tools?) and SERP potential (will this thread rank on Google and get cited by AI answers, so your reply keeps working for months?). You see the score and the reasons behind it before spending a minute writing.
How does Reddit activity help me get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude?
AI assistants lean heavily on Reddit threads when answering 'best tool for X' questions — Reddit is one of the most-cited sources in LLM answers. Helpful, well-upvoted replies in high-ranking threads are exactly what gets quoted. Our AI Visibility Score tracks whether the major engines mention you and shows which conversations would move the needle.
Do the replies actually convert to customers?
Yes — because you show up where buyers already are, with a genuinely useful answer. A reply on a thread that ranks on Google compounds: it keeps driving clicks for months after you post it. That's the difference from ads, which stop the day you stop paying.
What happens if a comment gets removed by moderators?
We track every posted reply's status. If a comment is removed you'll see it flagged in your dashboard and reply history — usually it means the subreddit has stricter self-promotion rules than expected, and we surface the rules before you post so it happens rarely.
How does DM outreach work?
When a thread shows high buying intent, add the author to your pipeline. We draft a 4-step sequence (opener, two follow-ups, breakup) tuned to their post. With a connected Reddit account you send each message with one click; the CRM tracks who replied, booked, or converted.
Can I post to any subreddit?
Technically yes, but many subreddits require minimum account age or karma, and some ban promotion entirely. Our rules checker fetches each subreddit's actual rules, and the composer warns you before you post somewhere risky. The warm-up roadmap handles the age/karma gates for new accounts.
What's Reddit's self-promotion guideline?
Reddit's longstanding community guideline is that self-promotion should be a minority of your activity — roughly 1 promotional item per 10 genuine contributions. Many subreddits are stricter. CommentSurge's warm-up pacing, daily caps and value-first drafting are built around staying comfortably inside those norms.
Does CommentSurge auto-post on a schedule (autopilot)?
No. We auto-scan, auto-score and (optionally) auto-draft — but a human always approves before anything goes live. Deliberately: unsupervised posting is how accounts get flagged and brands get screenshot-shamed. You're the quality gate; we're the engine.
Is there an API or MCP server?
Yes — paid plans include a REST API (/api/v1) and a Model Context Protocol endpoint, authenticated with personal API keys. List opportunities, generate drafts, pull posted-reply stats — wire it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, cron jobs or n8n.
Can I use CommentSurge for multiple products or clients?
Yes. Growth includes 3 projects, Scale includes 10 — each with its own keywords, subreddits, voice profile and tracking. Agencies on Scale run Reddit for their whole client roster from one login.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major cards via Stripe — Visa, Mastercard, Amex. Annual plans bill once per year; monthly plans renew each month. Manage or cancel anytime from Billing → Manage subscription (Stripe portal).
Do you offer refunds?
14-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans — email support and we'll refund you, no questions asked. After that you can cancel anytime and keep access until the end of the paid period.
What data do you store?
Your project config, opportunities, drafts and CRM data. If you connect Reddit, we store OAuth tokens encrypted with AES-256-GCM — never your password, and you can revoke access anytime in your Reddit preferences. We don't sell data, ever.
