How to Promote a Price Comparison App on Reddit Organically

Price comparison apps are competitive, but smart targeting (like finding users seeking local deals) can make them stand out. Here’s a real example of how to promote such apps effectively on Reddit.

When you have an app that compares prices from various delivery services, here is a good example what you should do to make it stand out:

Algorithm:

Find various subreddits related to specific locations. In this example, they are: r/IndiaTech, r/IndiaMeme, r/Gurgaon, r/Hyderabad, r/dealsforindia, r/Frugal_Ind, etc.
Create posts and comments sharing content about local deals that users can find through your app.
Experiment with angles and shape the value from your product. Test and find what resonates in which subreddit.

How to Scale This:

Find more subreddits and content angles that resonate with different audiences.
Add more sites to the comparison and expand to include additional product categories.

Takeaways:

Promoting local projects on Reddit organically can work really well.
What can work even better is matching not just general city-based subreddits (e.g., r/Gurgaon), but also those tied to a specific audience within that location (e.g., r/IndiaTech for tech-savvy users). Sharing tech-related deals in such communities may be even more effective.
Find creative content formats to reduce the risk of being flagged: memes, for example, can work well if they don’t look like obvious self-promotion.

This is how it looks like:

What redditors say?

The feedback in comments is even better!

Some users ask to add specific extra services that are also popular, but missing from the platform. Others have also ideas how to improve the comparison, what should be changed and other sort of feedback.

In the end, the app idea is quite simple, but thanks to diversified content strategy, the author managed to achieve high visibility in subreddits with hundreds of thousands of users. They do it organically, meaning such tactic on Reddit can be successfully combined with other social media channels.
