In Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 219701 (2013) [arXiv:1211.0843] Billoire et al. criticize the conclusions of our Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 177204 (2012), arxiv:1206.0783]. They argue that considering the Edwards-Anderson and Sherrington-Kirkpatrick models at the same temperature is inappropriate and propose an interpretation based on the replica symmetry breaking theory. Here we show that the theory presented in the Comment does not explain our data on the Edwards-Anderson spin glass and we stand by our assertion that the low-temperature behavior of the Edwards-Anderson spin glass model does not appear to be mean-field like.
