Complaints

6 themes

Self-serve Solo, Pro, and Pro Plus tiers were discontinued in July 2025, leaving Company at $599/mo as the only option for new customers.

Publishing and social engagement features were retired in January 2026, with users redirected to Agorapulse, which doubled the tool stack for many teams.

Trustpilot reviews flag slow and unhelpful customer support, especially around billing disputes.

The $599/mo Company plan requires annual commitment with no monthly option, which excludes solopreneurs and small agencies.

The actual decision

We sell one of these two
Path A

Buy Mention

Right when small budget, in-house team. You get the measurement, and the work of turning it into published pages and earned citations stays with your team.

Path B

Hire someone to run it

Right when nobody to act on it. Disclosure: this is what we sell, which is a reason to read us critically. It is also why every figure here carries the date we checked it, and every judgement carries the quote it came from.
