Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

DALL-E

  • DALL-E 3 API pricing as captured 6 January 2024 ranged from $0.040 per Standard 1024x1024 image up to $0.120 per HD widescreen image; DALL-E 2 was cheaper at $0.016 to $0.020 per image depending on resolution

Determ

  • There is no print media monitoring, so any organisation with a press cuttings obligation or a board that still reads newspaper coverage has to buy a second service alongside it.
  • Mention allowances are the real constraint and a single viral news cycle can exhaust a 1,000-mention monthly quota in days, after which you either upgrade mid-contract or lose visibility exactly when you need it most.
  • Long-range historical reporting is thin, so year-on-year share of voice analysis and multi-year campaign retrospectives are awkward compared with the larger monitoring suites.
  • Facebook coverage is restricted and LinkedIn profiles cannot be monitored, limits imposed by those platforms but which still leave gaps in any brand where the conversation happens there.
  • It is a monitoring tool rather than a PR suite, with no media database, no journalist contact list and no pitching workflow, so agencies replacing Cision or Muck Rack will find half the job undone.
