Look pretty useful. is there an error on your pricing page? Basic plan starts at $8400/year. https://www.talkwalker.com/pricing

@kwdinc so glad you think it's useful! Our tool is complete free - so pricing you're looking at is our paid in-depth listening and analytics tool. Talkwalker Alerts is independant of this tool :)

I'd like to have a Results browsing and filtering experience. Happy to share my thinking here.

Pros:

Surprisingly good results. It is, in fact, better than Google Alerts! The main Alerts Dashboard is useful.

Cons:

Could benefit from a Result Viewing UX which was a bit more TweetDeck like.

Hi Ron, thanks for your feedback! We're on the same page and looking into UX as an area of development

My favorite feature of Google Alerts is the ability to generate an RSS feed. I don't see this feature in Talkwalker.
Pragati Basu
@stan hi Stan - the RSS feed is very much possible for Talkwalker Alerts - you can check out how to do it here: http://twalertsupport.talkwalker... .

Been using these alerts for years, much better than Google alerts. The new Twitter added alerts are useful, I get a daily summary of my most important mentions which is nice. Talkwalker alerts is great for a free service, highly recommend you use it for your brand or business.

Pros:

Daily or instant notifications. Keep track of your brand reputation. Much more accurate than Google alerts.

Cons:

Limited and basic functionality no extra filters or alert notification settings for example alert by influence level or analytics etc.

I've used Talkwalker Alerts for a long time. Great to see tracking for influencers included.

Pros:

Cons:

I'm greedy, I always want coverage of more channels

Richard Sunley

I think it's a great way for communications professionals in particular to keep track of what's being said about their brand online. It also gives you a great indication of just how successful a campaign has been!

Pros:

great coverage of online news, blogs, forums and Twitter

Cons:

could add some more analytics

Martin Shervington

I've been using this specifically to surface Ai content and have been pleasantly surprised by many stories I'd missed. I'll continue to explore and report back...

Pros:

Surfacing content I wouldn't otherwise see.

Cons:

Some more stats in the email would be handy.

It is the best free tool to monitor brand mentions. Talkwalker Alerts allows users to create extremely specific search queries for their brand names, taglines, competitors, industry keywords. It sends the most important online conversations and tweets to the inbox.

How is it better than Google alerts?
Pragati Basu
@georgegayl hey George - we deliver mentions from across the internet - like Google alerts - but we also deliver mentions from Twitter which is something that Google Alerts does not . And we all know that Twitter gives you a real feel of what your audience is saying about you
