Which one fits ## **Who should pick which** A cheaper tool is the wrong buy if you need coverage we do not have. ### **Stay with Mention if** You need a media-monitoring suite and can buy on a yearly Company plan. - Web, Reddit, forums, and review sites matter as much as social. - You want realtime streaming and Boolean-style alerts. - A dedicated account manager and custom onboarding are part of the buy. - You already work in Agorapulse for publishing and want Mention for listening. ### **Choose Mentionwatch if** You were looking for the old self-serve Mention and found a demo and a yearly invoice instead. - You want to start in minutes without booking a call. - $29/month with monthly cancel is the budget. - Social platforms (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook) are the job. - You accept slower scans and smaller per-cycle caps in exchange for price. Limits ## **Mentionwatch limits, stated plainly ** This is a scheduled social monitor for solopreneurs, not a full social-listening firehose. - Not realtime. Scan cycles are 12 to 168 hours depending on plan. - Each cycle only takes the latest 30 posts per keyword. - Coverage is social only: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook. No Reddit, news, blogs, forums, reviews, or the open web. - Facebook is on Growth. The trial is Instagram and TikTok only. Brand24, Mention, and Awario are trademarks of their respective owners.
