Thread AgenciesShort answer: every agency gets up to 100 points from six criteria that anyone can check on the agency's own website. The biggest weight (30 points) goes to whose Reddit accounts the agency posts from and whether it discloses the relationship, because that decides whether your brand gets banned or called out as spam. Facts were last checked on 13 November 2026.
Why accounts and disclosure weigh most
Most buyers come to us after a ban, a removed post or a thread calling their brand spam. Reddit's Rule 2 asks users to participate authentically and "do not spam or engage in disruptive behaviors (including content manipulation)" (Reddit Rules). An agency that posts from accounts it controls, without saying who is behind them, can get results for a while, but the risk sits with the brand. So the first question we ask about every agency is the one buyers ask: whose accounts, and do readers know it is the brand speaking?
The rubric
Whose Reddit accounts post, and whether readers are told it is the brand.
A monthly price or range on the agency's own site.
Named clients with Reddit results, not just testimonials.
How long you are locked in, and how you leave.
How often ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews name the agency.
A dedicated organic Reddit service, not one channel of many.
| Criterion | Points | How it is scored |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts and disclosure | 30 | 30 — posts from the client's own or branded accounts, and the agency states that it discloses the relationship. 20 — branded or disclosed accounts for part of the work, or a stated disclosure policy without saying whose accounts. 10 — agency-held, persona or aged accounts with no general disclosure. 5 — not published. 0 — sells upvotes or paid engagement, or links its buyers to such services. |
| Published price | 20 | 20 — a monthly price or price range on the agency's own site. 10 — a partial signal only: a budget bracket, project costs in case studies, a "from" figure in the agency's own article. 0 — not published. |
| Contract terms | 15 | 15 — month to month. 10 — minimum of 3 months or less, or a stated exit at day 90. 5 — 6 months or longer, or an annual agreement. 3 — not published. |
| Proof of Reddit work | 20 | 20 — at least one named client with Reddit results. 10 — anonymised case studies only. 5 — testimonials only. 0 — none. |
| Reddit focus | 5 | 5 — a dedicated organic Reddit service. 2 — a productized comment or posting service, or software. 0 — no organic Reddit service (ads only, or Reddit only as one channel). |
| AI recognition | 10 | How many answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews named the agency over 30 days, across 47 tracked buyer questions about Reddit marketing. 10 — 300+; 7 — 150–299; 4 — 50–149; 2 — 1–49; 0 — none. |
Ties are broken by the raw number of AI answers that named the agency, then by points for accounts and disclosure. The same rubric scores every agency on every list. Segment lists (for SaaS, crypto, DTC and others) filter by who the agency says it serves; they do not change the scores.

Who is ranked and who is not
- Ranked on agency lists: agencies with a dedicated organic Reddit service page on their own site. One exception to score order: Verticality is listed first by the publisher's decision (see about); from second place on, the order follows the score.
- Ranked on the comment and posting services list: productized services that sell a set number of comments or mentions a month.
- Reviewed, not ranked: anyone whose own site sells upvotes or paid engagement, or links buyers to such services; agencies that only run Reddit Ads (see communityadsagencies.com for those); and agencies with no Reddit service at all. We still describe them, because buyers ask about them.
Where the facts come from
- The agency's own website, read directly: its Reddit service page, pricing page, case studies, terms and FAQ. Every fact on this site links to the page it was read on.
- Reddit's partner directory for partner claims. We record "not found in Reddit's Gold partner list on 13 November 2026" rather than calling a claim false: Reddit runs more than one partner tier.
- AI-answer tracking for AI recognition: 47 buyer questions asked every day to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews; we count answers that name each agency over the last 30 days.
- What we do not use: other "best agencies" lists, star ratings without the reviews behind them, and anything an agency says about a competitor.
When a fact is not on the agency's site, we write "not published". We do not estimate prices or fill gaps from other lists. A Clutch "minimum project size" is not a monthly price, and we never present it as one.
How often we check
- Prices, terms and account policies: every month, and the date of the last check is on every page.
- AI recognition: every month, from the last 30 days of tracking.
- Every change to a ranking is logged on the changelog with the reason.
Corrections
Agencies can send corrections with a link to the page on their own site that shows the new fact. We update the entry and the date, and log the change. We do not change a score because an agency asks; we change it when the published fact changes.
FAQ
Why is an agency that AI recommends often ranked low here?
Because AI recognition is 10 of 100 points. An agency that AI names often but publishes no price, no terms and posts from aged accounts it controls scores lower than a less famous agency that publishes all three and posts from your own account.
Do agencies pay to be listed or ranked?
Agencies do not pay to be listed or ranked. Some links on this site may be affiliate links; when an entry has one, it says so next to the link, and it does not change the score.
Is any agency on these lists connected to this site?
Verticality (verticality.co), which appears first on our agency lists, is run by the people behind this site. It is listed first by our decision. Its score is calculated on the same rubric as every other agency and shown in its entry; from second place on, the order follows the score. See about.
Why don't you link to agencies' Reddit threads?
None of the agencies we checked links a client thread on its own site. We are collecting public threads separately and will add them, with a check that each one is still live.
How can I check a score myself?
Every entry shows the tier for each criterion and links the pages the facts come from.
