Why ad comments need their own tool

Every person an ad reaches sees the comments under it. One scam link or angry thread sits under every impression you pay for.

The native tools help less on ads than on posts. Meta’s keyword blocking was built for Page posts, and guides disagree on whether it covers ad comments, so test it on a live ad before you rely on it. TikTok gives you a Blocked Words list in Ads Manager, and it hides comments that match a word on the list. Neither one answers a buyer who asks “does this come in a large?”

What we looked for

• Hides bad comments on ads in real time, day and night

• Covers Instagram, Facebook and TikTok ads

• Answers comments as well as hiding them

• Publishes its pricing

The 7 best ad comment moderation tools

1. Pinpoint

Best for: consumer brands that want every ad comment hidden or answered, in their own voice.

Pinpoint is an agentic social media team for consumer brands: AI agents that do the work, not another tool your team has to run. The agents cover three parts of a social team’s job. Community agents answer and moderate every comment, mention and DM on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X. They work across organic posts, paid ads and influencer content, and turn those conversations into sales. Creator agents screen creator DMs and find new creators who fit the brand. Strategy agents track sentiment and competitors and turn them into weekly reports. Content stays with your team.

On ad comments, the moderation agent hides spam, scams and off-brand comments as they land. The FAQ agent answers product questions from your knowledge base and stays quiet when it isn’t sure. The product discovery agent matches the product someone asks about to your Shopify catalog and sends the link by comment and DM. Anything sensitive goes to your team by text, email or Slack.

Every agent runs in shadow mode for about a week first. Your team approves, edits or rejects each draft, and the brand voice learns from every decision.

Proof from brands that use Pinpoint:

• In Good Taste: +71% ROAS and -28% CAC in 90 days.

• FTL: +57% ROAS, -17% CPC and -31% CPA.

• GoPuff: 95% of comments and DMs handled by AI in real time.

Not the best fit: brands with little social engagement yet, or teams that only want spam hidden at the lowest price.

2. Respondology

Best for: brands that want AI moderation on organic and paid social, with a managed team option.

Respondology sells moderation and engagement for organic and paid social, across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and more networks. Plans start at $999 per month, then run from $2,599 and from $4,499 per month (checked 2026-11-02 on its pricing page). Its moderation categories are adjustable, and custom AI rules are available.

Not the best fit: small brands, given the starting price.

3. BrandBastion

Best for: brands that want 24/7 comment and DM moderation run as a managed service.

BrandBastion sells three tiers. Reputation+ covers moderation, Agent+ adds AI-drafted replies approved in batches, and Engage+ adds 24/7 managed replies. It covers Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X. Pricing is a custom quote, and the vendor publishes no price list (checked 2026-10-08).

Not the best fit: teams that want to see a price before a sales call.

4. NapoleonCat

Best for: teams and agencies that want an inbox, rule-based moderation, publishing and reports.

NapoleonCat’s rules can hide, delete, assign or auto-reply to comments using keywords or AI tags, including on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok ads. Its AI Reply drafts responses for your team to send. Pricing starts at $79 per month for 2 users and 5 profiles, with a 14-day free trial (checked 2026-11-01).

Not the best fit: brands that want comments answered without a person sending each reply.

5. MyComments

Best for: small brands and performance marketers that want ad comments hidden on a budget.

MyComments hides spam, hate speech, profanity, negativity and competitor links on Facebook and Instagram posts and ads. You can add your own keyword blocklist. Your team replies to ad comments from one dashboard. Pricing starts at $29.99 per month (checked 2026-11-02).

Not the best fit: brands running TikTok ads, since it covers Facebook and Instagram only.

6. CommentGuard

Best for: small teams moderating Facebook and Instagram on a budget.

CommentGuard hides profanity, negativity, links and keywords on posts and ads. That includes sponsored posts, stories and reels. Plans run from $29 per month for 5,000 comments to $199 for 50,000, and every comment received counts toward the limit (checked 2026-11-01).

Not the best fit: brands on TikTok, or brands whose comment volume swings with ad spend. Read our CommentGuard alternatives guide

7. Agorapulse

Best for: social teams that want scheduling, a shared inbox and reporting.

Agorapulse brings comments, DMs and ad comments into one inbox for your team to work. Plans run from Standard at $79 to Advanced at $149 per user per month, billed annually (checked 2026-11-01).

Not the best fit: brands that want replies sent without a person in the inbox, since cost and workload both grow per user.

FAQ

What is ad comment moderation?

Ad comment moderation means watching the comments under paid ads, then hiding spam, scams and abuse. The better tools also answer the real questions, since a buyer asking about sizes is a sale in progress.

Should you hide or delete negative ad comments?

Hide them in most cases. On Facebook, a hidden comment stays visible to the person who wrote it and their friends, so they don’t see it removed and come back angrier. Delete only scams and abuse.

Can you moderate TikTok ad comments?

Yes. TikTok Ads Manager has a Comments Manager and a Blocked Words list that hides matching comments. Pinpoint, NapoleonCat, BrandBastion and Respondology also cover TikTok ads.

How much does ad comment moderation software cost?

Published prices on this list start at $29 to $29.99 per month for Facebook and Instagram hiding (CommentGuard, MyComments). Respondology starts at $999 per month. BrandBastion and Pinpoint price by quote.

What is the difference between hiding and answering ad comments?

Hiding removes what hurts the ad. Answering turns questions into sales. Most tools on this list hide. Pinpoint’s agents do both, and send product links to the people asking.
