Which one fits ## **Who should pick which** A cheaper tool is the wrong buy if you need coverage we do not have. ### **Stay with Awario if** The annual Starter price is close to Mentionwatch, and the product is much larger. - You need 30,000 mentions/month, not a sampled social scan. - Boolean queries and web/news/Reddit-style coverage are the job. - Paying annually at $29/month is acceptable. - You want PDF reports now, or CSV export and API later on Pro/Enterprise. ### **Choose Mentionwatch if** You want a simple social monitor on a monthly invoice, not a full listening database. - $29/month without prepaying a year. - A 14-day trial that is limited but card-free. - The platforms that matter are YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook. - You prefer canceling in a billing portal instead of emailing support. 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.
