Frequently asked questions

Do competitors count against my keyword limit?

Yes, each competitor is one keyword: 5 on Pro, 20 on Business.

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.

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.

Do you need access to my accounts?

No. EchoMention reads only public content. You connect where the digest goes: a Slack or Discord webhook, a Telegram chat or an e-mail address.
