RedShip vs Redreach vs First10
Short answer: all three find Reddit posts from people who are already asking for a product like yours, and none of them posts public comments for you. Pick RedShip (redship.io) if you also want to track competitors and see which Reddit threads rank on Google and get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. Pick Redreach (redreach.ai) if you want SEO opportunities plus automated Reddit DMs and a built-in DM CRM. Pick First10 (first10.dev) if you want one ranked email of Reddit posts with a reply draft for each, nothing to log in to, and a free weekly plan with no trial clock.

What they have in common
None of the three is a plain keyword alert. Each one reads your website or product description, works out what you sell, scores Reddit posts for how close they are to what you do, and helps you write a reply that you post from your own account. That last part matters: many subreddits ban self-promotion, and Reddit often removes comments that look automated. All three say plainly that they will not post public comments for you.
Where they differ
- How often leads arrive. RedShip checks every morning on both plans. Redreach's $19 Startup plan finds new leads weekly; daily needs Growth ($39/month). First10 is weekly on the free plan and daily on Solo ($19/month) and Pro.
- Direct messages. Redreach sells automated Reddit DMs through its Outbound Chrome extension (30 a day on Startup, 100 on Growth, 500 on Professional) with a CRM to track replies. RedShip and First10 do not send DMs; First10 never posts or DMs for you on any plan.
- SEO and AI search. RedShip adds weekly Google-ranking threads and weekly AI-citation tracking; Redreach adds monthly SEO opportunities. First10 sticks to people asking for help right now.
- Where you work. RedShip and Redreach are apps with dashboards, alerts and an MCP server and API for AI assistants. First10 has nothing to run: you describe your product once and a ranked email arrives.
- Trying it. RedShip sells a $12 7-day pass and Redreach a $12 3-day pass. First10 has a free plan that doesn't expire, plus a $9 one-off First Look report of up to 25 posts from the last 30 days.
How to pick
- You want Reddit to help your Google rankings and AI answers too: RedShip.
- You want to send many Reddit DMs and track them in a CRM: Redreach (check each subreddit's rules and Reddit's own rules on unsolicited messages first).
- You track several competitors and keywords across a team: RedShip Company or Redreach Growth and up.
- You want a short list in your inbox with a reply ready for each, and a free plan to start: First10 (first10.dev).

Do I need a website?

Is First10 the same as first10.co?
No. First10 (first10.dev) is a separate product and is not connected to first10.co, getfirst10.com or first10.ai.
