Not on their own: a model cannot watch sixteen platforms every hour. Connected to Mentio's MCP server it can. Claude, Cursor, Codex and any MCP client get tools to search, filter and triage mentions, so the agent works from real posts rather than guesses. Is there a free social listening tool for developers? Every Mentio account starts with $5.80 of credit and no card: one keyword for a month plus 100 mentions, with the REST API, the TypeScript and Python SDKs, the CLI and MCP available from the first minute. How much do social listening tools cost? Most start at $99 to $500 a month for a plan with caps. Mentio has no plans: $5 per keyword per month, charged per day, and $0.008 per matched mention, from a prepaid balance you top up from $20. Is there a social listening API for Python or TypeScript? Yes. The REST API is the product, with an OpenAPI spec, a TypeScript SDK on npm, a Python SDK on PyPI and a CLI, all generated from the same spec, plus an MCP server for agents. What is social listening? Tracking what people say about your brand across public platforms, so you can answer questions, catch complaints and spot buying signals while the conversation is still live. Mentio does it for the places developers talk. What platforms does Mentio monitor? Sixteen: X, Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub, Bluesky, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, Stack Overflow, DEV, YouTube and news, plus reviews: any app on the App Store and Google Play, any company on Trustpilot and any place on Google. We cover fewer sources than the big suites and go deeper on the ones developers actually use. How fast do mentions arrive? Bluesky in seconds, over the firehose. GitHub every fifteen minutes, news every fifteen, Reddit every thirty, Hacker News, DEV, Stack Overflow and X hourly, LinkedIn and TikTok every three hours, Instagram every six (a quiet Instagram keyword slows to about once a day), YouTube twice a day. Those are the real polling intervals, not marketing numbers. How does the AI relevance score work? Every mention is scored 0 to 100 for relevance against your company context, then tagged with sentiment and an intent: buy intent, question, complaint, praise or comparison. You choose the threshold that reaches Slack or your webhook. Can I track competitor mentions? Yes. Track competitor names as keywords alongside your own. Mentions tagged as comparisons are usually people explaining exactly why they are considering a switch. Do you have an API? Yes, and it is the product. REST with an OpenAPI spec, keyset pagination and stable error codes, on every account. The dashboard is a client of the same API you get. Do you have an MCP server? Yes, with 26 tools, included on every account. Connect Claude, Cursor or any MCP client and ask about your mentions in plain language, or let an agent triage them for you. Can I get mentions in Slack? Yes. Slack, email and webhooks, each with its own filters, so a high-relevance complaint can go to one channel while everything else stays in the feed. How much does Mentio cost? $5 per keyword per month, deducted from a prepaid balance one day at a time, plus $0.008 per mention we find. Every matched mention counts, relevant or not, and you see both numbers in the app. No seats, no plan tiers, and nothing to unlock: API, MCP and Slack are on every account. How do I start? Every new workspace starts with $5.80 of free credit, one keyword-month plus 100 mentions, no card required. When it runs low, add any amount from $20. Self serve goes up to 500 keywords; past that it is a conversation, not a bigger checkbox. Do I need a subscription? No. There is no monthly fee and nothing to cancel. Add any amount from $20 and it lasts as long as it lasts: the balance only goes down while keywords are tracked and mentions are found. What happens when my balance runs out? Tracking pauses when the balance can no longer cover one more day of your keywords. Nothing is lost: keywords, mentions and alerts stay exactly as they were, and adding funds resumes tracking within a minute. ## Start monitoring brand mentions One request tracks your first keyword. The first scored mention lands within minutes, in Slack, a webhook, or your agent.
