ReplyGain watches Reddit, Hacker News, X and Bluesky for people asking for a product like yours, gives each post an intent score and drafts a reply. Its FAQ says it never posts for you. Plans are generous on volume: Starter allows 1,000 leads and 1,000 replies a month, and the scans run on a schedule without you pressing anything. The USD 9 pass with a no-leads refund is a fair way to test it.
FounderDive works differently. It runs when you press Hunt: up to 3 times a day on Starter and 5 on Pro. It looks in nine places, scores each post out of 100, keeps 72 or more, and writes up to 25 replies per hunt on Starter and 80 on Pro. Every reply is written only from facts you gave it, and a draft that can't cite one is thrown away.
The other difference is the checks. Before you see a reply, FounderDive checks it eight ways: group rules, 9 helpful replies per 1 that mentions you, two weeks off per group, karma and account age, the same link in two groups, shadowban, never the same post twice, and a freeze on a group where something went wrong. ReplyGain is the better buy if price and scheduled scans matter most.

Verdict
ReplyGain is cheaper and scans for you on a schedule, every 12 hours on Starter and every 2 hours on Business, and its USD 9 week pass is refunded if it finds nothing in 3 days. FounderDive runs when you press Hunt, looks in nine places, and throws away any reply it can't back with a fact you gave it. Neither posts for you.
