The short version

  • Only Mention has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Mention historical data access is not included in the Company plan and is only available as a paid add-on; Statusbrew plans cap both seats and social profiles, so an agency with many small clients hits the profile ceiling well before the user ceiling and is pushed to a tier it does not otherwise need.
  • They diverge on capability: Mention covers Real-time monitoring, Statusbrew covers Publishing and scheduling.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Mention

  • Historical data access is not included in the Company plan and is only available as a paid add-on

Statusbrew

  • Plans cap both seats and social profiles, so an agency with many small clients hits the profile ceiling well before the user ceiling and is pushed to a tier it does not otherwise need.
  • Listening is limited to Premium and above and is keyword monitoring rather than a full listening dataset, so a brand that needs historical share of voice will still buy a second tool.
  • Moderation rules are keyword and sentiment based, which means sarcasm and coded language slip through while legitimate comments containing a blocked word get hidden, and someone must audit the rule set regularly.
  • Analytics retention is capped at 18 months even on paid tiers, so year-on-year comparisons beyond that require exporting data yourself before it ages out.
  • Network coverage depends entirely on the platform APIs, and features such as Instagram direct message handling or ad comment access change without notice when Meta adjusts permissions, occasionally breaking a workflow the plan was bought for.
