Mention pricing and Mention alternatives for 2026
Mention no longer publishes a price. Checked again on August 30, 2026, the plan cards on mention.com render their figures in the browser rather than in the page itself, the tiers are named Pro, Company and Enterprise, and every demo button routes to an Agorapulse domain. That is because Agorapulse acquired Mention in 2025 in a deal reported at 25 million euros, and Mention now tells its own users it is progressively deprecating its Publish and Respond features and points them to Agorapulse instead. If you are shortlisting Mention and Agorapulse as two vendors, they are one. EyeOut is the alternative for teams that want a published price and early warning rather than a busier inbox: $39 a month billed yearly for Google News, Reddit, Mastodon, Hacker News, Lemmy and Apple Podcasts scanned every 30 minutes, and from $94 on Growth, a crisis alert when a spike is genuinely abnormal for that keyword.

What it costs
Mention pricing vs EyeOut pricing
List pricing as each vendor publishes it on its own pricing page. Vendors change their rates, so confirm before you buy.
EyeOut
$39/mo Starter, $94/mo Growth, $249/mo Pro, $499/mo Enterprise (billed yearly). Seats included, no per-seat fee.
Mention
No public list price. Re-checked on August 30, 2026, the tiers on mention.com are named Pro, Company and Enterprise, the price fields are populated in the browser rather than published in the page, and every demo button routes to an Agorapulse domain. Annual billing is advertised as two months free.
Mention published tiered self-serve plans until recently and no longer does, so we quote no number here rather than guess one. Before you sign, ask in writing for the alert, mention and seat limits, and ask what happens to the Publish and Respond features Mention has said it is deprecating in favour of Agorapulse.
The longer answer
Why teams look for a Mention alternative
Mention is a capable media and social monitoring platform that agencies in particular like for managing multiple brands, and its higher tiers extend into broader media coverage. Teams comparing Mention alternatives often want clearer early-warning alerting and AI that interprets the conversation for them, at a price that stays predictable as they grow.
EyeOut monitors your brand and products across Google News, Reddit, Mastodon, Hacker News, Lemmy and Apple Podcasts every 30 minutes, adding competitor tracking on Growth. From the $94 Growth plan its dedicated AI crisis radar baselines each keyword against its own last 7 days, then raises an alert with a suggested first move when an anomaly is real, and Pro adds a severity level. AI clusters mentions into themes on every plan and into emotions on Pro, so you see what people feel and why, and pricing is transparent and self-serve for mid-market teams with no sales call.
