New buyers and existing customers are different cases
Mention’s official plan notice says standalone sales ended on July 1, 2026. Existing customers can retain their current plans; new purchases are directed to Agorapulse Listening.
Do not use a legacy Mention plan as a current new-customer price. Confirm the reporting and source terms for the contract you can actually buy. Official documentation: Mention plan transition.
Choose by the work you need to complete
The following selection guidance is DROP’s assessment. It is not a controlled performance benchmark. Keep an export of your trial decisions, including misses and rejected matches. Official documentation: Mention plan transition.
| Your task | What to evaluate | Boundary to keep |
|---|---|---|
| Existing Mention subscription | Record the features, sources and exports your account retains. | Do not cancel until a replacement preserves the required workflow. |
| New listening purchase | Request the current Agorapulse Listening scope and price. | Legacy Mention price tables do not establish a new-customer offer. |
| Individual product discovery | Inspect DROP’s public example and own-URL preview. | DROP does not include a shared publishing or reporting suite. |
When to choose Mention / Agorapulse Listening and what to test
Existing Mention customers should first check which plan and features their account retains. New buyers should evaluate the current Agorapulse Listening offer. List the required reports, sources and collaboration workflow before comparing an individual DROP radar; a plan transition does not prove feature parity. This is DROP’s evaluation guidance, not a measured comparative result. Use the same task and publication window, retain failures and inspect original sources.
DROP plans for one monitored identity
Focus $19/mo per site or handle. Growth $99/mo per site or handle. Focus includes up to 500 post reads per paid period; Growth includes up to 3,000 and CSV export. Reads are not guaranteed leads. Each additional monitored identity needs its own subscription. Verify the other provider’s current offer directly; different billing units are not interchangeable.
