Octolens is AI social listening across Reddit, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, GitHub and more, at $159/month on Pro and $499 on Scale. It is built for teams with a mentions problem. If what you actually need is to stop missing the Reddit threads where someone is asking for a tool like yours, Karmy does that job from 9 euros a month.
Prices and features read from the vendor's own public pages, checked August 2026. Octolens is a trademark of its owner; Karmy is not affiliated with it.
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.
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.
Karmy drafts the reply in your product voice, grounded in the thread, so acting on it takes two minutes.
It lives in Telegram. No tab to keep open, no seat to manage, no console to check every morning.
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.
Karmy is €9/mo on Starter and €19 on Growth. Octolens publishes $159/mo on Pro, billed annually, and $499 on Scale.
No. Karmy is Reddit only. If you need multi-platform listening, Octolens covers far more surface.
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.
No. Karmy never posts. You get the thread and a draft, and you decide what goes out from your own account.
Octolens is social listening across platforms: you give it keywords, it tags mentions by type and sentiment, and it sends them to Slack, a digest or a webhook. Its published pricing starts at $159 a month. It is built to see everything said about a topic.
Karmy is Reddit only and built to answer: it reads the thread, decides whether a reply would help, and writes it. Fewer messages, each with a draft attached, from €9 a month.
A listening tool sends every mention that matches. Karmy sends the threads worth answering. One fills a channel; the other gets read.
Octolens tells you the mention exists. Karmy hands you the words for that specific thread, in your product’s voice, respecting the subreddit’s rules.
Octolens watches many platforms. Karmy watches Reddit only. If your buyers argue about tools on several networks, that breadth is worth paying for.
Octolens reports share of voice as a percentage of mentions. Karmy’s competitor watch gives counts with the threads behind them, because at ten threads a week a percentage hides more than it shows.
Pick Octolens if you need brand monitoring across platforms, a mention archive and sentiment reporting for a marketing team. If what you want is a multi-platform lead inbox rather than monitoring, the EaseClaw comparison covers that shape.
Pick Karmy if the job is to show up in Reddit threads with a good answer, early, without hiring someone to read Reddit all day. Running this for clients? See Reddit monitoring for agencies.
No. Reddit only, on purpose. That focus is what makes the drafts sound native to each subreddit.
Not as a chart. On Scale, the competitor watch labels threads as praise, complaint, switching or comparison and gives the topic of each complaint, with the thread attached.
Yes, on Growth, with one channel per mission if you want. See Karmy for Slack.
Karmy has no per-seat pricing. Everyone in the Slack channel sees the opportunities.
