The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Later starter plan limits posting to 30 posts per profile per month across 1 social set of 8 profiles, with only 1 user; Talkwalker now rebranded Lumen by Talkwalker; pricing page names three tiers, Core, Analyze and Business, differentiated by non-sampled results volume (2x and 6x) and topic/filter/channel counts, but publishes no figures and directs buyers to request a custom quote
