YouScan review

YouScan stands out for reading images as well as text. Its Visual Insights add-on analyzes pictures from over 500K sources, so a beverage brand can find photos of its can even when nobody types the name. The entry Starter 3 plan costs $499 per month billed annually and covers 3 text topics and up to 15,000 mentions a month across social media, blogs, forums, reviews and online news. It includes aspect sentiment, trend detection, one custom dashboard, one Slack, Teams or WhatsApp integration and 10 questions a month to Insights Copilot, the AI agent that answers plain-language questions about your data with examples. Users, searches and alerts are unlimited on every plan, which keeps costs flat as more people join. The Unlimited plans add image and audience data collection, unlimited Copilot questions, data export and API access, but they are quoted. Mid-market brands get strong analytics, though the mention cap on Starter 3 fills quickly for busy brands.
