Checked 6 September 2026
Humenta AEO and Reach both sell done-for-you AI search work that combines monitoring, technical fixes, content, authority and human strategy. Reach prices three tiers by client revenue band with a three-month minimum; Humenta prices five capacity tiers, the first two month-to-month. This dated, seller-authored comparison maps public prices and scope units without treating pages, assets or prompts as interchangeable.
Disclosure: Humenta is the subject of this comparison. Competitor facts use Reach's public pricing page. Reach was not asked to review this page before publication. Corrections are welcome.
Reach is the stronger choice for buyers who want a US-based done-for-you team, a program sized to their revenue band, bi-weekly or weekly strategy calls, and who are comfortable with a $6,000 monthly entry and a three-month minimum. Humenta is the stronger choice for buyers who want a lower euro entry point, month-to-month terms from the first plan, larger tracked-prompt allowances at every level, a pre-registered treatment and holdout method, and EU operations with global delivery.
Five capacity tiers starting well below Reach's first tier, 150 to 1,000 tracked prompts against 50 to 150+, no revenue-band eligibility, month-to-month from day one, an explicit answer-accuracy and source-readiness method, and consented community and media options.
A single accountable US team with scheduled strategy calls on every plan, programs explicitly matched to company revenue, mention and link building and community engagement bundled at the top tier, published per-unit add-on prices, and a public "last updated" date on its pricing page.

This is a plan-level mapping by price, not a claim of contractual unit equivalence. Humenta publishes capacity ceilings and pursuit targets subject to approval and third-party acceptance; the other provider phrases its units in its own terms. Read both contracts.
Mention and link building $250 per placement; community engagement $600 per 10 posts; publishing +$1,000 to $2,500 per month; additional pages $2,000 per 5 pages; website templates from $2,500; forward-deployed expert at custom pricing. Humenta's sales-assisted add-ons are listed on its pricing page.
Euro equivalents use the ECB reference rate for 4 September 2026 of €1 = $1.1622 and are rounded to the nearest euro. They are a point-in-time comparison of list prices, not a conversion offer. Taxes, exchange movements, add-ons and negotiated scope change actual spend. Humenta plan prices are shown only on the canonical pricing page.

Humenta's entry plan is far below Reach's $6,000 monthly Startup tier, and Reach's cheapest tier converts to roughly €5,163 at the ECB rate for 4 September 2026, placing it between Humenta's Authority and Category Leader plans. The units differ: Reach counts pages and 50 to 150+ prompts, Humenta counts approved assets and 150 to 1,000 prompts. Compare scope, not only price.
Yes. Reach publishes a three-month minimum commitment, after which the engagement runs month-to-month with 30 days notice, and an annual commitment saves 10%. Humenta Launch and Scale are month-to-month; Authority and above run on rolling 90-day terms.
Humenta includes legitimate earned-authority targets in every plan and does not run link schemes. Reach lists link and mention opportunities in all tiers, bundles mention and link building and community engagement in its Scale tier, and otherwise prices them at $250 per placement and $600 per 10 posts.
Humenta lists 150 prompts on Launch rising to 1,000 on Market Leader. Reach lists 50 prompts on Startup, 100 on Growth and 150+ on Scale. Ask both which answer surfaces are observed, how often, and how evidence is retained.
Humenta may be the more natural fit for buyers who prefer euro pricing, EU operations and GDPR-aware delivery. Reach is a US company with global delivery and prices in US dollars; check contracting entity, tax treatment and data handling before choosing.
