Frequently asked questions
Why is EchoMention so much cheaper than Brand24?
It covers fewer sources (no paid social network APIs) and sends a digest instead of a full analytics suite. That keeps costs low enough for a $19 plan.
Does EchoMention monitor X/Twitter, Instagram or TikTok?
No. EchoMention does not cover X/Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn. It focuses on news, blogs, Hacker News, Bluesky, YouTube, public Telegram channels and sites in the web search index such as Reddit, G2 and Trustpilot. If social networks are your main channel, a social listening suite is a better fit.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan monitors 1 keyword on Google News and Hacker News and sends a weekly e-mail digest, with 7 days of history. No credit card is needed. Pro ($19/month) adds every source, a daily digest and Slack, Discord and Telegram delivery.
Can I track competitors?
Yes. A competitor is just another keyword. See competitor monitoring.
