See the full pricingPeople are asking for what you sell. You're finding them three days late.
Outposts watches Reddit, X and up to 7 more networks for people asking for help, then writes the reply in your voice. You post it yourself, so your account stays yours.
Free brief in about a minute. No card, no account.
Or start a 7-day free trial. No card.
Auto-posters post for you. That is how accounts die.
Auto-posters need your password, run on a schedule no person keeps, and some of them run on bought accounts. When a platform notices, it does not suspend the tool, it suspends you. Outposts never signs in to your accounts. There is no OAuth flow and no password field, because a reply you did not read is not worth an account you cannot get back.
Warming lane
A new account replies and listens for weeks before it is allowed to mention you at all. The lane is per network and per account, because the reputation at stake is the account's.
The 90/10 rule, in software
Nine helpful replies for every one that mentions you, enforced by the code rather than by your good intentions at 11pm.
The community's own rules, first
Before anything is drafted for a community, its rules are read. If it does not allow what you were going to say, Outposts does not write it.
The whole safety design is public, including what it refuses to do: read it here.
Three steps, and only one of them is yours.
Paste your URL
Outposts reads your site once and works out who buys from you and what they type when they need you. No forms, no onboarding call. Your brief is back in about a minute, with real sightings in it.
Your outposts bring back sightings, with the reply written
Nine networks, searched on the cadence you set. Every thread is read in full before a word is written, scored for whether someone is actually asking, and answered in your voice: helpful first, with a link only if the thread wants one. Starting on X? See how the X outpost finds buyers there.
You post it, from your own account
Copy, open the thread, post. That is the whole loop. Outposts has no password of yours and never signs in to any network. You press Post, or turn on the Mac app to press it from your own computer.
One list, sorted by how close they are to buying.
Every conversation worth joining, on every network you chose, in one place: the people asking for a tool first, then the ones comparing options, then the ones describing the problem. The reply is already written. Copy it, open the thread, post it, done.
- The whole thread read before a word is written, so the reply answers what was actually said
- Two or three sentences, in your voice, learned from what you actually post
- Sent, with the clicks and sign-ups each reply brought back
You decide where the work goes.
Every plan is a monthly pile of tokens, and every action has a price. If your buyers are on Reddit and X, nothing is spent anywhere else. The screen tells you what a run costs before it runs, and what the month comes to at your settings.
One pass over Reddit, or X, or LinkedIn, whichever you picked.
The thread read in full, the reply written in your voice, waiting for you.
An original post written for you, for a network you are warming, when the lane allows one. So is a post you write yourself.
A chat with a head of marketing who can see your numbers. However much you ask.
A second venture is a second plan, with its own monthly tokens. Nothing is taken out of the first one's.
Two plans, priced per venture.
Cancel any time; it runs to the end of the period you paid for.
For one founder, one product. Watch Reddit and X every day, with room for about 290 written replies a month.

The cheapest person who could do this costs more than Outposts.
Someone reading the communities every day
a junior marketer or a VA, once they have learned your space
Replies that sound like a person, not a brochure
a freelance writer on a small retainer
Not getting the accounts banned
a ban costs the account and every month of karma behind it
Knowing which post actually made the money
an analyst, or tooling plus the evening spent wiring it up
Being there at eleven at night when the thread is hot
this is the part you end up doing yourself
Ranges are what small companies pay in 2026 for a part-time hire or a freelancer. Your market may be cheaper. The point is that the first line alone costs more than a year of this.

The ones everyone asks.
Still unsure? Ask us. A person reads every message and replies within a business day.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 7 days of Solo, no card. You get daily searches and about 70 drafted replies. When it ends, nothing is charged. Searches stop, your threads and drafts stay readable for 30 days, and you can add a card any time to pick up where you left off.
Is this not just spam?
It would be, if it posted for you. It does not. Every reply waits for you to read it and post it yourself, which means a person decides every single time whether the thread deserves an answer. The outpost's job is to spot the thread and do the writing you would have done at midnight; yours is to be the person in the conversation.
Will my account get banned?
That is the failure everyone in this category has, and it comes from the same place every time: a tool that posts on your behalf, often from bought or shared accounts, at a rate no person would. This one never signs in to your accounts at all. On top of that it warms an account up before it ever mentions you, holds to the 90/10 rule in software, and reads a community's own rules before it drafts anything for that community.
Will the replies sound like me?
It reads your site for your voice, and then it learns from you: the text you actually posted is what it studies, so every edit you make teaches it. Replies are two or three sentences, never a brochure, and the specific tells that make writing read as machine-made are stripped before you ever see a draft.
What is a token, and why not just charge for replies?
A token is one unit of work: searching one network costs 2 tokens and a written reply 3; a post Outposts writes for you and asking the Outpost a question are free. Charging per reply would mean charging you the same whether your buyers are on one network or seven, and it would make the outposts stop looking on the day it matters. Tokens let you point the money at the networks your buyers are actually on, and the screen shows what a run costs before it runs. Adding a second venture is a second plan, not tokens off the first; the price is per venture.
What happens when I run out of tokens?
Outposts stops searching and writing and says so on the screen, rather than quietly doing less and letting you think it is still working. Top up whenever you like (bought tokens never expire) or wait for the month to roll over. Plan tokens do not roll over, which is what keeps the price where it is.
Do I have to connect my accounts?
No, and you cannot. There is no OAuth flow, no developer app, no password field. You add the handle you post from so Outposts knows whose reputation it is protecting, and that is all it ever knows about your accounts.

Founder, Hive Asset Group
I run several small businesses and did their Reddit and X marketing by hand for years: reading threads at midnight, replying too late, and once getting an account I cared about restricted for being too eager. Outposts is the lookout I wanted: it reads everything, drafts what I would have said, and never touches an account harder than a careful person would. It runs my own ventures first.
What it will not do for you
- Your judgement about the product. It writes what your site says, so if the positioning is wrong it will repeat the wrong thing, confidently and often.
- A good strategist. Someone who knows your market will out-think it on where to play. It out-works them on showing up every single day.
- Talking to customers. Nothing here is a substitute for one call with a person who nearly bought and did not.
