MeetEdgar is built around one powerful idea: load your best content into a library, categorize it, and let Edgar recycle it automatically so you never stare at an empty queue. That's genuinely useful. But recycling posts is the outbound half of social media. ReplySocial covers the inbound half — every X, Reddit, Facebook, and LinkedIn mention, keyword alert, and competitor reply surfaces in one inbox, with a real free plan and Pro at $25/month flat. Most teams use both: MeetEdgar to keep publishing without the grind, ReplySocial to never miss a conversation.
A side-by-side look at MeetEdgar vs ReplySocial across pricing, channel coverage, monitoring, and replies. MeetEdgar wins on evergreen scheduling and content recycling — we'll be honest about that below.

MeetEdgar keeps your publishing queue full automatically. The problem is the other half of social — the conversations already happening about your brand, your keywords, and your competitors. MeetEdgar doesn't touch that. Here's what changes when you add ReplySocial.
MeetEdgar's entire product is built around scheduling and recycling: you fill the library, set up categories, and Edgar handles the queue. What it cannot do is tell you when someone mentions your brand on X, complains about a competitor on Reddit, or asks a buying question on LinkedIn. ReplySocial covers that gap natively across X, Reddit, Facebook, and LinkedIn — every keyword hit and mention surfaces in one inbox, with reply actions available without leaving the screen.
MeetEdgar supports ten publishing platforms but Reddit is not one of them. Reddit is where potential customers describe their problems candidly, compare products by name, and give each other unfiltered recommendations. ReplySocial monitors subreddits and keywords natively, pulling those conversations into the same inbox as your X and LinkedIn signals so you can respond before a competitor does. For B2B and SaaS teams, Reddit is often the highest-intent channel in the stack.
MeetEdgar offers a 30-day free trial, then billing starts. There is no permanent free tier. ReplySocial Free is genuinely free forever: one X account, three monitors across X, Reddit, Facebook, and LinkedIn, ten replies per day, and 100 monitored posts per day — no credit card and no expiry date. For teams bootstrapping or just getting started, that's the listening half covered before you decide whether to upgrade.
X reply threads are overwhelmed with crypto scams, reply farms, and AI-generated noise. ReplySocial scores every X reply author across 30+ signals — account age, follower ratio, scam phrases, AI-text patterns — and displays a Human / Suspicious / Spam tier next to each reply. One click hides the bots and surfaces only real humans worth engaging. MeetEdgar has no equivalent feature because its product is not built around reply management.
MeetEdgar solves a real problem that ReplySocial does not. If any of these are the core of your workflow, stay on MeetEdgar — we'd rather you pick the right tool than use the wrong one.
MeetEdgar's defining strength — the feature that made it famous — is its content library with category-based recycling. You add posts once, organize them into categories, and Edgar automatically resurfaces them on a rotating schedule so your queue never runs dry. ReplySocial has no content library, no recycling engine, and no concept of evergreen queues. If keeping a full, automated publishing schedule is your primary pain, MeetEdgar solves it and ReplySocial doesn't.
MeetEdgar publishes to ten networks including all the major visual and emerging platforms. ReplySocial covers X, Reddit, Facebook, and LinkedIn — the four conversational networks where monitoring and reply velocity matter most. If your audience lives on Instagram, TikTok, or Pinterest, ReplySocial won't cover those channels. Most teams keep MeetEdgar for outbound visual content and add ReplySocial for the listening side.
MeetEdgar's Inky AI assistant writes platform-tailored captions and suggests hashtags directly inside the post composer, with credits included on every plan (15 on Eddie, 50 on Edgar). It is built for outbound content creation: solving writer's block, generating variations, and optimizing posts for each network. ReplySocial's AI capabilities are scoped to the inbox — helping with reply suggestions — not original content drafting.
MeetEdgar supports up to 10 weekly automations on the Eddie Plan and 1,000 on the Edgar Plan — meaning it can manage complex, multi-category posting schedules across multiple accounts with minimal manual input. If your social strategy depends on a predictable, high-volume publishing cadence, that automation depth is real. ReplySocial does not schedule posts today, so it cannot serve that use case.

ReplySocial is the strongest free MeetEdgar alternative if your priority is monitoring and replying rather than recycling scheduled content. MeetEdgar has no free plan — only a 30-day free trial before you pay $29.99/month minimum. ReplySocial Free covers one X account with three monitors across X, Reddit, Facebook, and LinkedIn, ten replies per day, and 100 monitored posts per day — no credit card required. If evergreen content recycling is your primary need, MeetEdgar is purpose-built for that. If listening, monitoring, and replying are your priority, ReplySocial covers that at no cost.
MeetEdgar's Eddie Plan is $29.99/month billed monthly, or $24.91/month billed annually ($299/year). The Edgar Plan is $49.99/month billed monthly, or $41.58/month billed annually ($499/year). ReplySocial Pro is $25/month flat — unlimited team members, unlimited monitors, unlimited replies. For teams primarily doing monitoring and engagement rather than evergreen scheduling, ReplySocial is cheaper and includes features MeetEdgar does not offer, like Reddit monitoring and BotBlock spam filtering.
No. MeetEdgar supports Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, Threads, YouTube Shorts, Bluesky, and Google Business Profile — ten networks in total, all focused on publish-and-schedule workflows. Reddit is not supported. ReplySocial monitors Reddit subreddits and keywords natively, surfacing Reddit conversations alongside X, Facebook, and LinkedIn mentions in the same inbox.
MeetEdgar's core strength is evergreen content recycling — you load posts into a category library, and Edgar automatically recycles them on a schedule so you never run out of content. It supports ten publishing platforms including Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube Shorts. Its Inky AI assistant generates captions and hashtags inside the composer. ReplySocial does none of this: it does not schedule or recycle posts, and it covers four monitoring-focused networks rather than ten publishing channels.
MeetEdgar does not offer a permanent free plan. It provides a 30-day free trial that gives you a full month to test the product before selecting the Eddie Plan ($24.91/month billed annually) or Edgar Plan ($41.58/month billed annually). ReplySocial offers a real free-forever tier — one X account, three monitors, ten replies per day, 100 monitored posts per day, no credit card and no trial expiry.
Yes — the two tools cover non-overlapping workflows. MeetEdgar handles your evergreen content library, automatic recycling, and scheduled publishing across Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and other visual platforms. ReplySocial handles monitoring and replies on X, Reddit, Facebook, and LinkedIn — the four networks where real-time conversation velocity matters. A typical team might run MeetEdgar for outbound content and add ReplySocial Free (or Pro at $25/month) to stay on top of inbound mentions and keyword conversations without switching tabs.
Keep MeetEdgar running your content library and recycling queue. Add ReplySocial Free to monitor every X mention, Reddit thread, Facebook comment, and LinkedIn signal — one X account, three monitors, no credit card.
