- The cheapest Essentials plan has no social inbox, no comment moderation and no ads comment moderation; comment moderation starts on Standard at 249 USD per seat per month billed monthly. Source
- The Hide message action does not work on LinkedIn profiles, and tracked Brand Keywords on X cannot be hidden because they are not tied to your own profile. Source

How to choose
- Check that TikTok is really covered. Several moderation tools started on Facebook and Instagram and have not added TikTok. Of the sixteen tools we compare, CommentGuard, Smart Moderation and MyComments.io do not moderate it.
- Expect fewer actions than on Facebook. Replient.ai, ReplyZen and Statusbrew say TikTok comments can be hidden but not deleted, and Hootsuite lists no delete for TikTok.
- Check ads separately. If you run TikTok ads, only NapoleonCat and Agorapulse state TikTok ad coverage plan by plan. See ad comments at scale.
- Match the price to your size. Social Moderator AI publishes plans from a single creator to agencies. NapoleonCat and Agorapulse are full suites priced by profiles or users. Respondology starts at a much higher yearly commitment, Bodyguard sells plans from a monthly floor price through a quote, and TrollWall AI and BrandBastion share prices only after a demo.

Social Moderator AI
Our pickChecks TikTok video comments every minute and applies the same plain-language rules you use on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

How Social Moderator AI works
Moderation rules are written in plain English
Rules are written as plain English lines or paragraphs, with no regex or decision trees, and each rule can say what to keep visible as well as what to hide. A draft can be run against recent comments to see what would be hidden, flagged or answered, and the page states that nothing changes on your pages until you publish. Every published version is kept so you can roll back. Rules apply to every page in a workspace, direct messages have their own rule set, and the site suggests separate workspaces when a brand needs different policies. A comment that matches no rule stays visible. Source
Every decision shows its rule, confidence and reason
Each action shows the matched rule, the confidence level and the reasoning in plain words. Comments the AI is unsure about are marked Needs review instead of being hidden, so a person decides. Any decision can be unhidden, approved or re-evaluated in one click, and both the action and the undo are recorded in a timestamped audit log that is available on every plan. The log records AI decisions, hides and unhides, likes and replies, and who or what performed each action, and can be filtered by action type, date range or page. Source
Reply drafts in a brand voice, with a draft mode first
You describe the brand, choose the reply language and add example replies, and the site says drafts follow your tone, your phrasing and the things you never say. One voice can cover a whole workspace, and individual pages can have their own. Draft mode requires approval of each reply before it is sent, and Auto mode sends only replies above a confidence threshold you set. On Pro and Agency you can add knowledge sources such as shipping, returns or opening hours, which the site says replies quote instead of guessing. Source
Five channels, including ads and DMs
The product covers Facebook Page posts, Reels, ads and Messenger; Instagram posts, Reels, ads and DMs; TikTok video comments, which the site says are checked every minute; YouTube channel comments, which move to the held-for-review queue in YouTube Studio when hidden; and Google Reviews, which get AI reply drafts on Pro and Agency. Facebook and Instagram comments are moderated within seconds through Meta webhooks, and ad comments appear in the same inbox as organic ones, filterable by page, post or status. Source
Free audit of recent comments, then a 15-day trial
The free audit scores the newest 50 comments from your 10 most recent Facebook posts against four starter rules, and the site says it takes about a minute, needs no card and changes nothing on your Page. The report gives four counters (would hide, would reply, flag for review, would like) and, for each comment, the verdict, the matching rule, the AI confidence and a one-line reason. It is read-only. Each workspace gets one audit and each Page can be audited once. A card is asked for only when you start the 15-day trial, and nothing is charged until the trial ends. Source
Plan limits are pages, AI actions and seats
Plus is 10 EUR per month billed monthly or 9 EUR billed yearly and covers 2 pages, 250 AI actions per month and 1 seat. Pro is 49 EUR monthly or 40 EUR yearly for 10 pages, 2,500 AI actions and 3 seats. Agency is 199 EUR monthly or 160 EUR yearly for up to 50 pages, 15,000 AI actions and 15 seats. Each moderation decision and each AI reply draft counts as one AI action, while viewing comments, hiding manually and editing drafts do not. Plus leaves out lead detection, Google Reviews, image and GIF moderation and political pages. Source
