The short version

  • Only Marvel has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Marvel pricing is not shown on the product pages; 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
  • They diverge on capability: Marvel covers Drag-and-drop prototyping, Talkwalker covers Social listening.
