Get into the Reddit threads AI actually cites.

ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews lean on Reddit to answer buying questions. ThreadCite finds the threads that matter, helps you reply honestly, and proves it moved AI answers, without bots, fake accounts, or a $1,500/mo agency.

We went through this exact evaluation in January (4-person team, ~40k MAU)… Watch for event-volume pricing cliffs before you shop on price.

02 · COMPLIANCE + DRAFT

Reply like a human, with the rules in front of you

Every thread ships with its subreddit’s promo policy and your account’s readiness. Drafts answer the question first, auto-disclose any mention, and hard-block when your weekly cadence is spent. The software never posts. You copy, you post, you own it.

03 · CITATION TRACKER

Watch participation turn into AI citations

Your buying prompts run daily across ChatGPT, AI Overviews and Perplexity. When an engine starts citing a thread you joined, you get the match, the number your boss actually asked for.

THE ANTI-BOT PLEDGE

Compliance isn’t a feature. It’s the product.

Reddit is structurally dismantling the bot playbook: API pre-approval, human verification, lawsuits. ThreadCite is built for the other side of that war: a registered, read-only app under the Responsible Builder Policy. Guardrails that slow you down are why customers keep their accounts.

✕Auto-posting, scheduled posting, reply bots

✕Karma farming, upvote pods, engagement rings

✕Fake accounts, sockpuppets, “managed” personas

✕Scraping outside the official Data API

✓A human posts, always: with disclosure, on their own account, at a sane cadence

A tenth of the agency retainer

Managed Reddit-GEO agencies start at $1,500/mo. This is the same workflow, productized.

Questions founders actually ask

No. It’s built to be the opposite. ThreadCite uses the official Data API under a registered, read-only app. There is no code path that posts, votes, or messages. What Reddit is killing is automation that impersonates humans; what we sell is software that makes the human faster and safer.
