CrowdReply pricing explained: compare plans, tracking limits, engagement credits and placement costs before you buy.
By CiteGraph · 15 Sept 2026 · updated 10 Oct 2026 · every number below has a source
CrowdReply's pricing page lists its smallest tracking allowance as 20 prompts. That implies a narrow watchlist at the entry tier, before you account for the engagement work included in the same purchase.
CrowdReply pricing combines AI search tracking, social listening and engagement credits. Those credits support placements in conversations on Reddit, Quora and Facebook, so the monthly price covers different types of work. CrowdReply does not split its plan prices into tracking and engagement costs.
The entry price covers two services
CrowdReply's pricing page lists Starter at $99, Growth at $299 and Enterprise from $499 a month billed monthly, or $79, $239 and from $399 a month billed yearly, which is the view the page opens on. Those prices were checked on 2 Oct 2026. It also lists 20, 75 and 200 tracked prompts across the tiers, with the same figures for keywords. The page does not publish a tracking-only price for any tier.
Billed yearly, the tiers include annual credit pools of $600 for Starter, $2,400 for Growth and $3,600 for Enterprise, according to the same pricing page. Billed monthly, they include $50, $200 and $300 of credits a month. CrowdReply says annual billing saves 20% and provides the full year of credits upfront. That changes when the spend is recognised, even if the work itself remains the same.
What matters is whether you'll actually use the included credits.
“Every plan includes AI search tracking, social listening and engagement credits, so you're never just watching from the sidelines.” CrowdReply's pricing page
The sentence describes the combined offer, but it also shows why the plan needs careful reading. Tracking measures whether prompts produce a visibility signal. Engagement credits pay for activity intended to place a brand in existing discussions. Those services have different outputs and should be assessed separately.
If you only need to see whether assistants mention your company or cite its pages, a tracking product with project, question, run and rival limits is easier to cost. CiteGraph publishes those units on its pricing page, rather than bundling them with Reddit or Quora placements. The products are not interchangeable, but their buying units are easier to compare when they are stated plainly.
What the published tiers measure
CrowdReply publishes prompt and keyword limits of 20, 75 and 200. Its platform column lists Reddit for the entry tier, then Reddit, Quora and Facebook for the larger tiers. The public figures show the breadth of the watchlist, but do not state how many answer checks, historical results or users sit behind each allowance.
CrowdReply says the credits fund placements on Reddit, Quora and Facebook, posted by its own network of platform-native accounts and editors. That is a placement service, not an AI search scan. Its page also says higher tiers provide more credits and better rates, then lists these prices (checked on 2 Oct 2026):

The page does not state how many credits a comment consumes, whether a comment with a link consumes more credits than a plain comment, or whether every placement receives the same editorial treatment. It does state that credits are account based and can be shared across brands, and that you can top up without switching plans. Without a stated credit-per-placement conversion, any cost-per-mention figure built from these numbers would be invented, not reported.
The rate card prices the action; it does not price the outcome.
The listed rates show a discount at higher tiers. A plain comment falls from $10 on Starter to $7 on Enterprise, while a comment with a link falls from $15 to $10. The rate card makes link placement more expensive at every published tier, but does not say that a link will be followed, cited by an assistant or remain visible indefinitely.
Match the plan to your workload
Start with the watchlist, then price the activity. Starter may cover a small set of prompts and keywords, but its credit pool still needs a separate assessment. Growth increases the published tracking allowance, expands platform coverage and lowers the listed placement rates. Enterprise has the broadest published tracking allowance and the lowest listed comment rates, but its price is stated only as starting from $499 a month billed monthly, or $399 a month billed yearly.
The public page gives no figure for a custom Enterprise commitment, extra seats, a top-up or the number of placements a credit balance will fund. The published figures describe the rate card, not your eventual bill.
For a tracking-led team, compare CrowdReply with a product whose plan is organised around scans and answer coverage. CiteGraph's pricing page lists Starter at $29 a month for 2 projects, 10 questions each, 3 runs per question on 4 engines, 6 tracked rivals and 30 written pages a month. It lists Growth at $69 a month with 3 projects, 10 questions each on 4 engines, 10 tracked rivals and 60 written pages a month. It lists ChatGPT Only at $19 a month with 1 project and 20 questions, asked on ChatGPT only. Weekly scans ask each question 3 times on every plan; a scan you start on Growth asks it 5 times.
These are different plan structures. CrowdReply foregrounds prompts, keywords, platforms and engagement credits. CiteGraph foregrounds projects, questions, runs, engines, rivals and pages. A lower monthly price can still be the wrong comparison if the missing work has to be bought elsewhere.
CiteGraph also offers a free AI readiness check with no account. It runs 15 checks and shows the fix for each. If your readiness check and your visibility gap point to the same missing page, a placement credit will not fix it.
Check the bill before you choose
You can test the fit in under an hour without treating the pricing page as a forecast:
Write down the prompts and keywords you need to monitor. Keep the counts separate because CrowdReply publishes both allowances.
Mark which platforms matter to the decision. The published coverage expands from Reddit on the entry tier to Reddit, Quora and Facebook on the larger tiers.
Decide whether you need measurement, placements or both. An engagement credit is not an extra tracking run.
Price the actions you expect to buy. Use the separate rates for a comment and a comment with a link, while noting that the page does not publish the credit conversion.
Compare the monthly bill with the annual credit timing. CrowdReply says annual billing saves 20% and provides the full year of credits upfront.
Record the result you will use to judge each service. For tracking, use measures such as assistant mentions, cited pages or prompt coverage. For engagement, assess the outcome of the placement rather than the fact that it was purchased.
This procedure exposes the main practical question before you sign up: will your team use the platforms and placement actions included in the plan? If it will not use Reddit, Quora or Facebook placements, part of the credit pool may not serve the immediate job.
CrowdReply's pricing makes more sense as a combined monitoring and distribution plan. Starter has the narrowest watchlist, Growth expands the monitored set and improves the listed placement rates, and Enterprise starts at a higher price with the widest published tracking allowance. These are the published limits, not a measurement of what your team will actually use.
The opening number was 20 prompts. It still describes the smallest tracking allowance, but it no longer describes the whole purchase. The entry price also includes the credit pool, where the work shifts from monitoring conversations to trying to enter them.
Our figures come from CrowdReply's published pricing page and the cited CiteGraph pages. We measure samples and published limits, not every result or final bill, so we do not know what we have not measured.
Questions people ask
What does a CrowdReply plan include besides tracking?+
Each published plan combines AI search tracking, social listening and engagement credits. The credits support placements in conversations on platforms such as Reddit, Quora and Facebook, so they represent a different kind of work from tracking.
How should I compare CrowdReply with a tracking-only tool?+
Compare the units each product publishes, such as prompts and keywords on CrowdReply, or projects, questions, runs and engines on CiteGraph. Then check whether you would use the placement activity included in CrowdReply's credit pool.
How much is a CrowdReply comment with a link?+
The published rate is $15 on Starter, $12 on Growth and $10 on Enterprise. CrowdReply does not state how many credits each placement consumes, so those rates do not provide a complete estimate of the monthly bill.
