We could not verify that a product called UpvoteShark exists. The domain upvoteshark.com does not resolve, the .io, .net, .app, .co and .ai versions did not connect, and a web search on 7 Nov 2026 returned no page, review or listing under that name. That means we can't compare its features or price. What we can do is read the search as "I want a service that gets my Reddit posts more votes" and show the legitimate options with current prices. If a vendor pitched you UpvoteShark, ask for a working website and a contract before you pay.
Disclosure: we sell a Reddit monitoring app and a Reddit marketing agency. Both are labelled as ours, and neither sells votes.

What a paid-upvote service sells
The category is simple. You pay per vote, and a pool of accounts votes on your post or comment. The pitch is that early votes push a post up the ranking so real people see it.
Reddit's own policy page, Disrupting Communities (read 7 Nov 2026), lists this as something that may violate the policy: "Creating and employing multiple accounts, voting services, or any automation to manipulate vote counts." Voting services are named outright, so buying votes isn't a grey area.
Even ignoring the rules, it doesn't work. Votes don't come with readers. A post with bought votes and no replies looks wrong to moderators and to people scrolling past, and a vote count never turns into a trial signup, a demo request or a link that keeps ranking in Google.
What Reddit users say
In a thread about a $30 per-post package that included "4 to 5 upvotes," one reply read: "You're basically paying for a fast track to a shadowban." (u/TranquilTeal in r/DigitalMarketing, 20 March 2026). The package was a vendor's quote to a buyer, so treat the price as vendor-stated. For the long version, see our post on buying Reddit accounts and upvotes and why we do not astroturf.
The legitimate alternatives, by what you are trying to do
You want your product mentioned where buyers ask. Use a thread finder. Redreach ($19 to $79) surfaces Reddit posts that rank in Google and drafts replies, and its FAQ says "you post from your own account." Pulse for Reddit ($49 or $129) scores threads by buying intent. Subreddit Signals ($29 or $59) ranks posts in subreddits you choose and states that it "does not auto-post replies." The Redreach alternative page has the full comparison.
You want to know when someone mentions you. F5Bot is free, and Syften starts at $29.95. See the Syften alternative page.
You want a person or team to do it. Published agency prices start around $2,000 a month. The Reddit Marketing Agency lists "from $2,500 per month," billed monthly with no long-term contract. ReddiReach lists $2,000 for 30 posts and comments, with a 3-month minimum and no refunds. Karmic does not publish a price. Other published ranges are on our Reddit marketing agency pricing page.
What works instead of votes
Real votes come from posts that answer a real question. Join the subreddits where your buyers already talk, read each one's self-promotion rule, and reply with something useful before you mention a product. Our 9-to-1 guide explains the ratio, and how to promote on Reddit without getting banned covers the rules.
It's slower than buying votes, but it keeps paying off when the thread ranks in Google months later.
Who should do what
A solo founder with a few hours a week: a drafting tool plus your own account. Start with a free trial and answer five threads by hand.
A funded team with no one to run it: an agency. Ask whose accounts post, whether you approve content, and what happens if an account is removed.
Anyone whose plan is "buy votes and hope": read Reddit's page above first. Our agency would not run that plan.
Where our product fits
Subreddit Marketing's Reddit monitoring app finds threads in the subreddits you pick, ranks them by fit and drafts a reply in your voice. You edit it and post it yourself, or on the Done for you plan we post it through our warmed-up accounts, with upvotes for your posts and comments. It never sends DMs for you, and it tracks account age and karma so you know when to wait.
Our Reddit marketing agency works with B2B SaaS, fintech and DTC brands. We do not buy upvotes, farm karma or use bought accounts, so we would turn down a request to boost a post with votes.
