03 · which one, when

Which one should you pick?

01

Pick dist0 if you want leads.

Reddit Pro posts and watches — it can’t find leads for you. dist0 hands you a list of Reddit users who match your buyer, each with a first draft from their own post.

  • Each lead is a real person who sounds like your buyer, not a post that happened to contain a phrase you searched for.
  • Track each one as new, flagged, reviewed, or done, and export the list to your CRM.
  • The draft quotes the lead’s own post, and nothing sends until you hit send.

02

Pick Reddit Pro if you want to post to Reddit.

Reddit Pro is free, official, and built for publishing. dist0 doesn’t post, schedule, or run ads — if that’s all your team needs, Reddit Pro is enough on its own.

  • Reaches any safe-for-work subreddit, with years of past posts to search.
  • Schedule posts, see how they performed, and promote the best ones as ads (through a linked Reddit Ads account).
  • Free for any business that qualifies. Already used by the NFL, NASA, and the WSJ.

03

Pick dist0 when buyers don’t name your product.

People describe their problem, not your product — “drowning in spreadsheets,” never “refund software.” dist0 reads every post against a plain description of your business and catches that intent; search can’t.

  • Most people describe a problem, not a product name. That’s exactly what search misses.
  • It also spots competitors people mention by nickname, abbreviation, or misspelling.
  • No keyword list to build or keep up. You describe your business once.

04 · FAQ

Questions teams ask before switching.

Can dist0 replace my Reddit Pro setup?
Probably not — they do adjacent jobs, not the same one. Reddit Pro is Reddit’s official organic-marketing dashboard: post analytics, scheduling, Trendspotter, and a one-click path to convert organic posts into ads. dist0 is an AI assistant that reads Reddit for you and drafts the follow-up. A common setup is to run both — Reddit Pro (free) for publishing and brand monitoring, dist0 for lead-and-brief generation. Their workflows barely overlap.
Does dist0 see all of Reddit like Reddit Pro?
No. Reddit Pro can technically reach any SFW subreddit across 22B+ historical posts, but only surfaces what your keywords match. dist0 reads every post inside a narrower window — 5 watched subreddits on Starter, 15 on Pro, auto-rotated when one goes quiet. So the honest framing is “dist0 sees more deeply within a narrower window; Reddit Pro sees more broadly but only what your keywords catch.” In practice a handful of well-chosen subreddits usually covers where the relevant conversations happen.
Is dist0 free like Reddit Pro?
No. Reddit Pro is free for any eligible business (verified email, SFW profile, business website). dist0 is a paid product — $19/mo Starter (5 subreddits) or $49/mo Pro (15 subreddits) — with a 14-day free trial. You’re paying for the intent-based reading, the drafted briefs and DMs, and the lead surface, none of which Reddit Pro offers.
Do I have to maintain a keyword list?
No — that’s the point. Reddit Pro is keyword-anchored: you add the phrases you want to track and tune them over time. dist0 has no keyword input at all. You paste your URL and describe your product, audience, and competitors in plain English (you can update it any time via Slack chat), and the agent decides relevance from context. The project memory self-improves as you mark briefs useful or off.
For lead generation, which one should I pick?
dist0, clearly. Reddit Pro has no native lead surface — it’s a marketing dashboard, so you’d manually scan posts for intent phrases. dist0 ships an explicit lead list with status tracking, CSV export, and AI-drafted DMs grounded in each lead’s actual posts. Most high-intent Reddit threads describe a problem without naming a product category, which is exactly the gap keyword matching misses and intent-based reading is built to close.
