A broad moderation suite with human review, analytics, and AI engagement tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Respondology is a web-based social media comment platform for brands, agencies, and sports organizations. It brings together three products: Moderate for hiding spam, abusive, toxic, and brand-damaging comments; Discover for analyzing topics, sentiment, emotions, and trends; and Respond for inbox workflows and AI-assisted replies. The product supports six social channels and combines automated controls with human review by U.S.-based moderators.
Pricing is structured around paid products and annual billing. Moderate starts at $1,000 per month, while Moderate Standard is listed at $1,500 per month and includes keyphrases, business rules, generative AI, human review, millisecond moderation, reporting, and image and GIF auto-removal. Moderate Plus adds image and GIF AI review, deeper post and profile analysis, unlimited AI moderation rules, sentiment scoring, and moderation in more than 100 languages. Moderate Enterprise adds influencer campaigns, multi-organization management, single sign-on, SMM platform integrations, and unlimited historical data export. Discover Standard starts at $1,000 per month, and Discover Plus and Enterprise add intelligence, language analysis, exports, and enterprise controls. Respond Standard is listed at $1,500 per month and includes smart inbox and agent modes; Respond Plus adds promoter, support, and multilingual responses.
The main strength is breadth within social comment operations. Teams can combine automated hiding, business rules, generative categories, real-time analytics, historical exports, image and GIF handling, and AI-assisted inbox agents. Enterprise plans add multi-organization management, single sign-on, and integrations for social media management platforms. Respondology fits organizations that need professional review across moderation, intelligence, and engagement workflows. Smaller teams or buyers seeking a low-cost, narrowly focused moderation tool may find the annual starting commitment difficult to justify.
