About
In practice. What you can do with Brand24.
Brand24 tracks keywords and brand mentions in real time across social media, news, blogs, forums and reviews, with sentiment analysis and engagement tracking on what it collects. Pro and above add an AI Brand Assistant and AI Events Detection for spotting spikes in mentions automatically.
The entry Individual plan costs $199/month billed annually (or $249 monthly) for just 3 tracked keywords and 2,000 mentions a month, which suits watching a single brand name closely rather than several products or competitors. Real-time updates and AI features only unlock from Pro ($399/month annually) upward, so a small operation tracking more than a couple of terms will move up tiers quickly.
Practical uses

When it makes sense. Keep Brand24, or challenge it?
Keep if
You need to closely track a small number of brand keywords across many source types in one dashboard.
Brand24 becomes worthwhile when
+You use it at least once a week
+The monthly cost ($199) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You need to track more than 3 keywords or want real-time updates without paying for the Pro tier.
Brand24 becomes too expensive when
−You use it less than once a month
−A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
