The short version

  • Only Vectr has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; Vectr performance issues: slowness during edits is a recurring complaint, especially problematic for complex designs
  • They diverge on capability: Talkwalker covers Social listening, Vectr covers Vector drawing.
