Bazzly vs Engain
Comments and upvotes posted through Engain's own pool of aged accounts, managed as campaigns from a dashboard.
Best for Engain: Agencies and brands that want to buy comment and upvote volume across many threads and manage it as campaigns.
The short answer
Engain and Bazzly both post through accounts you never touch, so the comparison comes down to account quality and relevance. In our testing, comments through Engain were removed far more often, and Engain is organised around campaign volume rather than fit. Bazzly scores every thread, runs hands-off within a relevance threshold, and refunds removed comments.

How comments get posted
Both tools post through pooled aged accounts, so neither needs your Reddit login for comments. Engain sells comments, posts and upvotes as campaign actions from a dashboard. Bazzly posts one comment per thread through an account it warms itself, scheduled into a natural slot, and also supports posting from your own account through the extension.
Account safety and removed comments
In our own testing, comments posted through Engain's network were removed far more often than through the aged accounts Bazzly warms and operates itself. Account quality is the whole game on Reddit: Bazzly keeps its fleet active with ordinary activity, rotates which account posts where, retires banned accounts, and refunds a comment removed within 48 hours plus any undelivered upvotes.
Finding the right threads
Engain surfaces high-traffic threads and tracks brand and competitor mentions. Bazzly scores every post against your product profile before anything is drafted, shows the fit percentage and classification, and runs Google searches to find the Reddit threads that already rank for your customers' queries, where a single comment keeps working for months.
Running it hands-off
Engain runs campaigns with scheduling. Bazzly's Autopilot decides per thread: it only engages above your relevance threshold, drafts in your voice, posts through a warmed-up account, adds upvotes, and pauses itself when credits run low or a draft would contain a link. You set the pace from one to several comments a day.
Leads and DMs
Engain identifies prospects from conversations but does not send DMs. Bazzly turns matching posters into leads, drafts a DM from your template, and the extension sends it from your own account with pacing and duplicate protection.
Working with AI agents
Engain offers an API. Bazzly offers an MCP server and a REST API with an OpenAPI spec, plus one-click connect for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, and help-center and feedback tools so an agent can answer questions and report gaps on its own.
What Engain does well
- Comments, posts and upvotes from one dashboard

FAQ
Why does Bazzly say Engain's comments get removed?
Because we tested it and measured the removal rate. Comments posted through Engain's accounts were removed markedly more often than comments through the aged accounts Bazzly warms and operates itself. That is why Bazzly runs its own fleet and refunds removed comments within 48 hours.
Do both post through accounts I never touch?
Yes. Neither requires your own Reddit account for comments. The difference is who the accounts belong to and how they are kept healthy: Bazzly warms its fleet continuously with normal activity, rotates which account posts where, and retires banned ones.
How do prices compare per comment?
Engain Lite is $199/month with $100 of credits at $10 per comment, so about ten comments before top-ups. Bazzly is $199/month with 170 credits at 10 credits per warmed-account comment, so 17 comments included, and posting from your own account through the extension costs nothing.
Can I get a refund when a comment is removed?
On Bazzly, yes, automatically: a warmed-account comment removed within 48 hours of posting is refunded, and undelivered upvotes are always refunded. Check Engain's terms for its policy.
Which is better for an agency with several clients?
Both support multiple brands. Engain sells team seats and a Slack channel on higher tiers. Bazzly runs one project per client with separate settings and credits, free teammates, and an API and MCP for reporting and automation.
