When you should pick which

- · You need broad source coverage including news, reviews, and forums.
- · You're presenting monthly reports to leadership — Brand24's reporting is built for that.
- · Your priority is responding to mentions, not analyzing them.
- · You don't need PDF reports for stakeholders.
- · You want a tighter inbox UX (assign, snooze, archive, status) more than analytics depth.
Pricing math
Brand24 Plus: ~$99/mo. Premium ~$179/mo. Max ~$249/mo. Enterprise higher.
Mentionly: Lower entry tier, flat-rate scaling.
The math: If you need Brand24's analytics, the price is fair. If you only need inbox-and-reply, you're paying for unused features.

FAQ
Does Mentionly do influencer scoring?
No. We surface follower count and engagement on the mention author but don't compute a proprietary influencer score. Brand24's scoring is a value-add we don't replicate.
Can I export reports to PDF?
Basic CSV/PDF export of mention data. Not the polished branded reports Brand24 ships.
Reply from app — what platforms?
Twitter/X, Reddit, and email reply via deep link to the platform's native interface. We open the right tab with the response thread loaded.
Will Brand24 alerts import?
Keyword + filter configs port via CSV. Historical mentions stay with Brand24.
