What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Rival IQ in for an agency producing a quarterly competitive social report for a retail client without paying enterprise listening platform rates, a social media manager needing a defensible engagement rate benchmark against named competitors for a board deck, a brand team deciding whether to invest further in tiktok by comparing its performance against category peers rather than against its own history, a marketing lead who wants a competitive tool they can buy on a departmental card in an afternoon rather than through a procurement cycle. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Rival IQ are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Rival IQ
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $239/month and $559/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Rival IQ against the tools that do have one before committing.
Rival IQ runs on web, and is published by Rival IQ of Seattle, Washington, United States. The full record is on the Rival IQ review, and the rest of the category is under best social media tools.
