MentionWatch is a web-based social listening tool for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and small teams tracking conversations across major social networks. It monitors keywords and hashtags on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, and Facebook, then organizes sentiment, engagement, platform, and creator insights in a dashboard. Competitor mention tracking, custom rules, alerts, filtering, CSV export, and historical data support routine monitoring without requiring a broad enterprise workflow.
Pricing is structured around a 14-day trial and two paid plans. The trial includes Instagram and TikTok monitoring, one keyword or hashtag, a weekly scan cycle, and three months of history. Starter costs $29 per month and adds YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter monitoring, three keywords or hashtags, a 24-hour scan cycle, and three-month history. Growth costs $79 per month and covers all five listed networks, eight keywords or hashtags, a 12-hour scan cycle, and three-month history. The published plans show a paid product rather than a no-time-limit free tier.
Its strongest fit is for teams that need practical cross-platform coverage, AI sentiment labels, competitor tracking, and lightweight reporting at a defined monthly cost. Advanced filtering by platform, sentiment, and keyword can help narrow large monitoring sets, while CSV export supports further analysis. The trade-off is scope: the 3,000-mention limit, limited historical period, scheduled scans, and plan-based keyword and network allowances may constrain high-volume or real-time programs. Teams needing continuous monitoring or broader listening capacity should consider an alternative; smaller teams with focused tracking needs are the natural audience.
