When Karmy is the better fit

You are one person, not a growth team

At $159/mo the tool has to pay for itself before you have customers. Karmy starts at €9 and the job it does is the one that brings the first ones.

You want opportunities, not mentions

Fifteen thousand mentions a month is a reading job. Karmy hands you the handful of threads where someone is asking to be sold to, and skips the noise.

You want the comment written

Karmy drafts the reply in your product voice, grounded in the thread, so acting on it takes two minutes.

You work from your phone

It lives in Telegram. No tab to keep open, no seat to manage, no console to check every morning.

WHEN IT IS NOT

Pick Octolens instead if…

You are a team that needs to hear every brand mention across many platforms in real time, route them internally and report on them. That is what Octolens is built for, and Karmy does not try to be that.

Questions & answers

How much cheaper is Karmy than Octolens?

Karmy is €9/mo on Starter and €19 on Growth. Octolens publishes $159/mo on Pro, billed annually, and $499 on Scale.

Does Karmy monitor X, LinkedIn and YouTube?

No. Karmy is Reddit only. If you need multi-platform listening, Octolens covers far more surface.

Is it really just Reddit?

Yes, and that is the point. Reddit is where people publicly ask which tool to use, and those threads keep sending visitors and get quoted by AI assistants for months.

Do I have to trust an AI to post for me?

No. Karmy never posts. You get the thread and a draft, and you decide what goes out from your own account.
