Bazzly vs Airefs
Tracks how ChatGPT and Google AI Overview mention you, then drafts Reddit replies, articles and outreach you send yourself.
Best for Airefs: Founders and small teams whose goal is being recommended in ChatGPT and Google AI Overview, who want articles and outreach prepared for them and will post Reddit replies themselves.
The short answer
Airefs is an AI-search visibility platform that treats Reddit as one of three levers, next to articles on your own site and mentions on third-party pages. It tracks how ChatGPT and Google AI Overview answer your prompts, lists the Reddit, Quora and LinkedIn threads those answers cite plus new Reddit threads matching your keywords, and drafts a reply that you edit and post yourself; its own AI-instructions page says it does not post automatically. Its managed service adds posting by its team in the threads AI cites, on the $549-a-month plan. Bazzly is a Reddit product: it posts the comment through aged accounts it operates or from your own account through its extension, adds upvotes, targets threads that rank on Google, sends lead DMs and runs on Autopilot. Pick Airefs to measure and grow AI-answer visibility across articles, threads and backlinks from $24 a month; pick Bazzly when getting Reddit comments posted and kept visible is the job.

How comments get posted
In the Airefs app every discussion has a draft button: it reads the thread and your brand details and writes a comment you can regenerate, edit and copy into the thread, then post from your own account. Its AI-instructions page states that it does not post automatically. Posting by its team is part of the managed Done-for-you service: the $549-a-month plan lists posts in the social threads AI cites, and its docs describe the team taking part in the Reddit threads most likely to become AI citations. Bazzly posts the comment for you on its one plan, through an aged account it warms and operates, scheduled into a natural slot, or from your own account through its browser extension.
Account safety and removed comments
On the self-serve plans every reply goes out from your own account, so its age, karma and history decide whether the comment survives, and any ban is yours; Airefs' own guidance is that self-promotional comments get downvoted or removed. Its service pages do not say which accounts its team posts from. Bazzly keeps its fleet active with ordinary browsing and commenting, never uses the same account twice in a thread, retires accounts that pick up bans, and refunds a comment that is removed within 48 hours of posting.
Finding the right threads
Airefs finds threads two ways. The first is the Reddit, LinkedIn, Medium and Quora pages that ChatGPT and Google AI Overview cite across your tracked prompts; prompts run in ChatGPT by default, and Google AI Overview is a paid add-on. The second is new Reddit threads matching your keywords, scanned daily, with 3 keywords on Lite, 10 on Pro and 30 on Expert, and threads where a competitor is mentioned and you are not are flagged. Bazzly scores every new post in your subreddits against your product profile with a fit percentage and a classification, and runs a set of Google searches to surface the Reddit threads already ranking for what your customers type, so one reply keeps sending traffic for months.
Running it hands-off
Airefs automates the work around the reply: a daily email digest of new Reddit alerts, a drafted comment for every thread, and an automatic schedule that queues and writes your monthly articles (1 on Lite, 3 on Pro, 6 on Expert). The Reddit reply itself is manual on every self-serve plan. The hands-off option is the managed service: $349 a month for strategy, a site audit and articles, or $549 with outreach and posting in cited threads added. Bazzly's Autopilot chooses the thread above your relevance threshold, drafts, posts through a warmed-up account, adds upvotes and pauses itself when credits run low, all within a daily pace you set.
Leads and DMs
Airefs' opportunities are gaps in AI answers rather than people: threads to join, articles to publish and publishers to pitch, with a drafted outreach email for each cited domain that you send yourself. Its site does not describe DMs. Bazzly turns the author of every matching post into a lead, drafts a DM from your template, and the extension sends it from your own account with human-like pacing and duplicate protection.
Working with AI agents
Airefs has a remote MCP server on Pro and Expert, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client can read your share of voice, sources, discussions and opportunities. Every tool is read-only, so an assistant can never change anything in the account, and its documented APIs only send your site traffic in for AI-crawler analytics. Bazzly exposes every action as MCP tools and REST endpoints, with one-click connect for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor and an OpenAPI spec, so an agent can find, draft, post and check results.
What Airefs does well
- Tracks how ChatGPT and Google AI Overview answer your prompts, with share of voice against competitors and the URLs those answers cite

- Bazzly adds upvotes so the comment stays visible, and refunds a comment removed within 48 hours.
- Bazzly runs your own Google searches and prioritises the Reddit threads that already rank for them; Airefs works from the threads ChatGPT and Google AI Overview cite for your tracked prompts, plus keyword alerts.
- Bazzly turns matching posters into leads with AI-drafted DMs, sent from your own account through the extension; Airefs does not describe DMs.
- Bazzly's MCP server and REST API can post, upvote and queue DMs; Airefs' MCP server is read-only.

FAQ
Does Airefs post Reddit replies for me?
Not in the software. It drafts a reply for each thread, and you edit it and post it from your own account; its AI-instructions page says it does not post automatically. Its $549-a-month managed plan adds posting by its team in the threads AI cites. Bazzly posts the comment through warmed-up accounts it operates on its one plan, or from your own account through its extension.
Is Airefs a Reddit tool or an AI-visibility tool?
An AI-visibility tool first. It tracks how ChatGPT and Google AI Overview answer your prompts and treats Reddit as one of three levers, with articles on your site and mentions on third-party pages. Bazzly works on the Reddit lever and goes further on it: posting, upvotes, Google-ranking threads and lead DMs, while its Brand Signals feature tracks Reddit mentions of you and your competitors.
How do the prices compare?
Airefs starts at $24 a month billed yearly, or $29 monthly, with Google AI Overview tracking as an add-on, and its managed service is $349 or $549 a month. Bazzly is $199/month with 170 credits: finding and scoring threads costs no credits, a warmed-account comment costs 10 credits, an upvote 0.2, and comments from your own account are free.
Can my AI agent use either one?
Both have an MCP server. Airefs' server is read-only and on Pro and Expert: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can read your visibility data, sources and opportunities but cannot change anything. Bazzly exposes the full loop over MCP and REST, including posting through warmed-up accounts, upvotes and DMs, with one-click connect for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
Is there a free trial?
Both. Airefs offers 7 days of its Pro plan, including one free AEO article. Bazzly has a 7-day free trial with 5 credits for warmed-account posting and full API and MCP access.
7-day free trial. No charge today, cancel anytime.
