RedShip alternative: a $29 dashboard, or reply first in Telegram?
Both products print the same job on the homepage: turn Reddit users into customers, and find the threads where people are already asking for what you sell, so you can reply first. Karmy is the one that does that job for less, in the chat you already have open.

Karmy wins the job both homepages advertise
The published price starts lower
Karmy is €9, €19 or €39 a month on the pricing page. RedShip lists Founder at $29 and Company at $49 a month. Different currencies, and the entry number on Karmy is still the smaller one, with ten free days and no card.
The reply shows up in Telegram
RedShip's features page says the work lives in one dashboard, with email and Slack alerts. Karmy puts the thread and the draft in Telegram on every plan. Growth adds Slack and a webhook to any URL at €19. RedShip marks webhook alerts as not included on Founder.
More products before you have to call them
Company, RedShip's top self-serve plan, tracks 3 products, 30 custom keywords and 10 competitors. Past that, the pricing page says to email axel@redship.io. Karmy Scale covers up to 20 missions at €39, with no extra email required for the next product.
The draft respects the subreddit
Karmy proposes the subreddits from your site and use cases, and you confirm them. If a community bans self-promotion, the draft answers the question and does not name the product. You still post it yourself.
Karmy vs RedShip, feature by feature
A keyword inbox, a score, and a draft you send
RedShip's own setup is three steps. You paste a website and it generates keywords. It scans Reddit posts and comments, scores each one for relevance, and you reply, using an AI draft as a starting point or writing your own. The homepage adds a 0 to 100 score, says it watches all of Reddit rather than a shortlist of subreddits, and says the reply is yours: it never sends the comment, because Redditors spot a bot.
The monitoring page says that scan runs 24/7, that alerts can arrive by email or Slack within minutes, and also that the product puts a few threads in front of you each morning. The homepage describes the same morning inbox. Both pages agree on the limit: RedShip does not post for you.
Karmy is built for the same last step, with a different front door. Add the product once. It proposes the subreddits, pings Telegram with the thread and a draft, and tells you when to comment. How it works spells out that you post, and that a community which bans promotion gets a draft that never names the product.
What each plan lists, and what it leaves out
On redship.io/pricing, Founder is $29: 1 tracked product, 10 custom keywords, 3 competitors, daily lead opportunities, daily competitor tracking, weekly SEO opportunities, weekly AI citations, unlimited AI reply suggestions, 1 seat, email and Slack. Webhook alerts are marked not included. Company is $49 a month: 3 products, 30 keywords, 10 competitors, 3 seats, and webhook alerts included. A day pass is $12 for 7 days of full access. More websites, keywords or seats go through axel@redship.io.
Karmy, on its pricing page, is €9 for one mission (daily pings, a draft, when to comment, all inside Telegram), €19 for up to five missions plus ready-to-post post ideas, Slack and send-anywhere, and €39 for up to twenty missions plus the MCP, the competitor watch and an AI visibility check. Ten days free, no card to start. RedShip's homepage also describes an MCP and a REST API that never post; the pricing table does not say which plan includes them, so this page does not assign them to Founder or Company.
Where RedShip is the better buy
Pick RedShip if the weekly extras are the product you came for. Both of its plans include a weekly scan of Reddit threads already on page one of Google, with search volume named on the homepage, and weekly AI citations tracking. The homepage names ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini for that check, plus share of voice against competitors. Karmy does not publish that page-one thread list, and the ChatGPT check sits on Scale.
Also pick it if you want competitor tracking before the top tier. Founder watches 3 competitors every day; Company watches 10. Karmy's competitor watch starts at €39. And pick it if you want stated keyword caps (10 or 30), a numeric 0 to 100 score on every match, coverage that is explicitly all of Reddit including comments, and team seats (1 or 3) inside a dashboard. That is a real product. It is a worse deal for the narrower job: find the thread and reply first.
Karmy and RedShip
Karmy's published prices are €9 a month for one mission, €19 for up to five with Slack and the webhook, and €39 for up to twenty with the competitor watch and the MCP. RedShip's pricing page, checked 15 October 2026, lists Founder at $29 and Company at $49 a month. The currencies differ. The published starting price is still lower on Karmy, with ten days free and no card. RedShip's published trial is a $12 pass for seven days.
No. RedShip says the reply is yours and that it never sends the comment. Karmy works the same way today: it drafts, you post. There is no publish button in the API, the webhook or the MCP. A karmito that would post for you is described on the site and is not on sale yet.
Not on the entry plan. Competitor tracking and an AI visibility check (whether ChatGPT names you) are on Karmy's Scale plan, at €39 a month. RedShip includes daily competitor tracking and weekly AI citations tracking on both published plans, from $29. If that weekly Google-and-citation report is the main thing you want, RedShip includes it sooner.
Karmy sends the thread and the draft in Telegram on every plan. Growth, at €19, also sends them to Slack or any URL. RedShip's Founder plan lists email and Slack. Webhook alerts are marked not included there, and included on Company.
On Karmy, yes. The free Reddit report takes a website and shows subreddits and threads with no account, and the product itself is free for 10 days with no card. RedShip's pricing page lists a seven-day day pass at $12 for full access.
