Reddit post statistics: how did this post really do?
A score of 80 is a hit in one subreddit and a flop in another. Paste a post link and we read the post, then compare its score and comments with that subreddit's top posts this month and its posting time with the subreddit's best hours.
Reddit post statistics put a single post in context. A raw score only means something next to what posts in the same subreddit usually get, so the tool makes that comparison for you.
What the result shows
| Part | What it is | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Score and comments | The post's current numbers | The baseline |
| Median of top posts | The middle score and comment count of the subreddit's top 100 posts this month | What a winning post looks like there |
| Percentile | The share of those top posts this one beats | 50 means it's in the middle of the winners |
| Posting time | When it went up, against the subreddit's best slots | Shows whether timing helped or hurt |
It compares against top posts, which is a high bar. A post that lands below their median can still be a good post for that subreddit.
Using it to improve your next post
- Check your own last few posts. If they all land low, timing or subreddit fit is a likelier culprit than one bad title.
- Compare a competitor's post that did well. Copy its timing and format, not its wording.
- Before you post again, pick the hour with best time to post and check the draft with the post rule checker.

- Size up the whole community with subreddit stats.
- Draft the next post with the Reddit post generator.
- Find posts like the winners with the Reddit search tool.
Limits
- Reddit fuzzes scores slightly, and they keep moving for a day or two after posting.
- Removed posts show as removed, without their text.
- The comparison needs the subreddit's top posts, so very quiet subreddits give a thin baseline.
Frequently asked questions
How do I see stats for a Reddit post?

In busy subreddits, yes. Early votes decide whether a post climbs, and [Reddit algorithm explained](/blog/reddit-algorithm-explained-2026) covers why.
