[03] WHERE BRANDMENTIONS IS STRONGER/ HONESTLY

BrandMentions is web and social mention tracking with reports and influencers, and there are things it does that we do not.

The open web and review sites

BrandMentions reads sites, blogs, news and forums across the web, and review sources like Tripadvisor, Yelp and the App Store. FishOut covers Google News but not the open web or reviews.

Reports and influencers

Shareable and scheduled reports on every plan, an influencers report, and white-label reports from Expert. If the output is a document for a client, BrandMentions makes it.

Realtime on Expert, and no overage

Expert updates in realtime, and BrandMentions charges no overage — it contacts you about upgrading instead. Both are good policies.

[04] WHERE FISHOUT WINS/ WITH PROOF

Ten keywords free against five for $99

BrandMentions Starter is 5 keywords, billed quarterly at $99 a month. FishOut Free is 10 keywords, and Plus is 50 keywords at $19/mo, billed monthly.

Would love to hear how you handled the archive migration — that is where most teams stall. (I work on AcmeMail, for context.)
