Where each one falls short

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

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.

SocialPilot

  • Essentials plan is limited to 5 social accounts and a single user
  • Standard plan caps at 10 accounts and 3 users; Premium caps at 20 accounts and 6 users
  • Additional social accounts beyond a plan's limit are billed as add-ons on every tier
  • Annual billing discount is 15%, applied only when prepaying a full year
