A Brand24 alternative that watches Facebook groups.
Brand24 tracks mentions across many networks with sentiment, reports and AI insights, from $199 a month. KeywordWatchr covers fewer networks and checks once a day, but reads public Facebook groups and starts at $9 a month with no limit on mentions.
Why people look for a Brand24 alternative
Three reasons, each from Brand24's own pages.
It starts at $199 a month
Individual costs $249 a month, or $199 paid yearly, for 3 keywords and 2,000 mentions a month.
No Facebook groups
Brand24's help centre says Facebook closed access to public posts in groups, so Brand24 does not collect them.
Extra mentions cost extra
Mentions beyond the plan's monthly number are still collected and charged on top. The API costs $149 extra on Pro and Business.
