Awario review

Awario is the cheapest way to start social listening with a published price. Starter costs $29 per month billed annually, or $49 billed monthly, and covers 3 topics with 30,000 new mentions a month and 5,000 stored mentions per topic. A topic can hold unlimited keywords, handles, hashtags or URLs in any language, so one topic can track a brand name, its misspellings and its product names together. Boolean search is available for tighter queries, and PDF reports show mention growth, reach, alert comparisons and influencers. Pro at $89 per month billed annually is the more practical tier for teams, with 15 topics, 300,000 mentions and 10 team members, and its FAQ says CSV export is available on Pro and Enterprise only. Awario does less than the enterprise suites: its pricing page lists no media value metric or image recognition. For a small brand that mainly needs to see who is talking about it, competitors and its category, the price is hard to beat.
