Grow on Reddit & X without betting your accounts.
A compliance controller hard-caps the agent to each platform's ToS — and you approve every reply before it posts. It runs on your own connected accounts through official platform APIs — no scraping, no fake personas, no spam.
We had the same problem early on. We ended up routing support through a shared inbox so the whole team could see threads — Help Scout worked well for us, and we built a small SLA tracker on top. Happy to share the setup if it's useful.

The moat
A compliance controller sits between the agent and every platform.
It's not a setting you can forget to turn on — it's code that runs on every action, and it can only ever make things safer.
One gate, every action
Every post, reply, DM, and comment passes through a single compliance controller before it can go out.
It always picks the safer choice
The controller takes the stricter of what you allow and what each platform’s ToS allows — your dial can tighten it, never loosen it.
Strangers’ threads are off by default
Commenting on other people’s posts is the highest-risk action, so it ships hard-OFF — you opt up deliberately, only where a platform permits it.
// safest of the two always wins
// off < approve < auto
const effective =
minMode(userSetting, platformCap)
// missing cap → fail safe
const FALLBACK_CAP = 'approve'
// reddit growth_comment
growth_comment: 'off' // hard-OFFHard caps are sourced from each platform's automation policy — Reddit's Responsible Builder Policy, Meta Platform Terms, LinkedIn's Professional Community Policies, and X's Automation Rules. Anything we haven't explicitly reasoned about defaults to approve, never auto.

Soft marketing you can run without losing your accounts.
The category leader GummySearch shut down in 2025 over Reddit-API compliance. We built the opposite of the ban-risky tools founders (rightly) distrust.
A human approves everything
No reply posts automatically. The agent drafts; you edit, approve, or skip. The approval queue is the product — you stay in control of every word that goes out under your name.
API-compliant — built to not get you banned
Official platform APIs only. No scraping, no fake personas, no captcha-solving. Autonomy is hard-capped to each platform’s ToS, so the agent never blasts past the limits that get accounts suspended.
Your own accounts, your audience
The agent operates the accounts you connect, as you, via OAuth. Disconnect anytime and the accounts — and the audience — stay yours. We never own or resell your reach.
How it works
From the right thread to an approved reply — all in one queue.
Discovery, drafting, and approval — three steps the agent does the legwork for, and you stay the final word on every one.
Discovery
Find the threads worth replying to.
The agent watches the subreddits and conversations where your customers ask the questions your product answers — and ranks them by fit.
- Targets the communities your buyers actually hang out in.
- Surfaces live questions your product genuinely helps with.
- Relevance-ranked, so you spend time only on the threads that matter.
Matched threads

Drafts that sound like you — never spam.
Set your brand voice once. Every draft is helpful first and mentions your product only when it honestly fits the question.
- Learns your tone from a short brand-voice setup.
- Helpful, founder-to-founder — not a copy-pasted pitch.
- You can edit any draft before it ever leaves the queue.
Brand voice
We hit the same wall around 50 tickets a week. A shared inbox fixed the “who's replying to this?” chaos for us — happy to walk you through how we set ours up if it helps.

Approval
You approve every word before it posts.
Nothing goes live on its own. Approve, edit, or skip each draft — and the agent stays hard-capped to every platform’s posting limits.
- Human-in-the-loop by default — the approval queue is the product.
- Posts to your own account via official APIs, never a fake persona.
- ToS-capped, so the agent never exceeds platform limits.

Built on principle
Proof, not promises — it's in how the product works.
We don't show off logos we haven't earned. Here's what is true of every account on FounderReply, by design.
Nothing posts until you say yes.

The difference
Not another auto-poster.
Most growth tools optimize for volume and leave the ban risk — and the accounts — to you. FounderReply keeps a human in the loop and your accounts in your hands. Here's the side-by-side.
Fair caveat: not every rival is reckless, and a careful human can post manually without any tool. FounderReply's edge is making the compliant path the easy one — official APIs, ToS caps, and a human approving each reply, so soft marketing doesn't cost you your accounts. Commenting on others' threads is only API-supported on Reddit and X today.

Questions founders ask first
Before you connect an account.
The honest answers to the things you’re right to worry about.
- Will FounderReply get my account banned?
- No tool can promise you’ll never be banned — but FounderReply is built to avoid the things that actually cause it. It acts on your own connected account through each platform’s official API (no scraping, fake personas, or captcha-solving), drafts genuinely useful replies rather than copy-pasted promo, and keeps a human approval step on by default. Autonomy is hard-capped to each platform’s ToS, so the agent can’t blast past the limits that get accounts suspended.
- Does it post automatically, without me?
- By default, no — nothing goes live until you approve it. The agent drafts; you edit, approve, or skip each reply in the approval queue. Auto-reply is an opt-in capability on higher plans, still hard-capped to platform limits, and commenting on strangers’ threads ships hard-OFF until you deliberately enable it where a platform allows.
- Whose accounts does it use — do I have to hand over my logins?
- Your own accounts, connected over OAuth — you never share a password. The agent operates as you through official APIs, and you can disconnect any account at any time; the account and the audience stay yours. We never hand you managed or aged accounts, and we never own or resell your reach.
- Which platforms are supported?
- Reddit and X support the full engagement surface — publish, reply, comment on others’ threads, and DM. Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn support publishing and replying on your own posts (those platforms don’t offer an API to comment on strangers’ threads, so we don’t fake it). X requires your own developer credentials on its Basic API plan.
- Is my data safe? Do you train AI on my content?
- Your OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest, and we don’t sell your data or use your content to train our own models. See the security and privacy pages for exactly what we touch and where it’s processed.
- Do I need to be technical, or use the API?
- No — the app is point-and-click; most founders never touch the API. But if you want to, FounderReply ships a real MCP server and API so you can drive it from Claude, Cursor, or your own code — with the same compliance caps enforced on every call.
- What does it cost?
- Free to start, no credit card required. Paid plans add platforms and volume; Pro adds X using your own X API credentials. See pricing for the full breakdown.
