# Brand24 review: what $249 a month buys, what each plan adds, and why Redwatcher is the better alternative for Reddit

Canonical: https://redwatcher.com/brand24-review

**In short**

**Brand24 is a media monitoring tool that watches Facebook, Instagram, X, news, blogs and Reddit
and gives every mention a sentiment. Its $249 plan has three keywords and 2,000 mentions a month,
updated every 12 hours. Redwatcher watches 25 keywords in 25 subreddits for $29 a month, scores
every match, and checks around the clock on every plan.**

Brand24's figures were read from brand24.com/prices, and Redwatcher's from redwatcher.com/pricing,
on 20 September 2026.

If Reddit is where your customers talk, you pay for all of Brand24's breadth to watch one of its
sources.

[Redwatcher](/) is a Reddit monitoring tool. Tracks keywords, brand mentions and competitors across
the subreddits you choose, scores every match for relevance, and alerts by email, Slack, Telegram or
webhook around the clock. From $29/month per project.

[Start free](https://app.redwatcher.com/signup) Seven days, no card. From $29 a month after.

**How we checked**

**Read off Brand24's own pages on 20 September 2026.** [brand24.com/prices](https://brand24.com/prices/),
the five plan cards with the billing switch set both ways, the plan comparison grid cell by cell,
and the pricing FAQ, plus [the home page](https://brand24.com/). The prices appear only on the
plan cards themselves, so those are the figures we used. We have not used a paid Brand24 plan. We took the homepage screenshot on 30 August 2026 and again on 20 September 2026, when it
had not changed, and the plan cards on 20 September 2026.

## What does Brand24 do?

Brand24 collects mentions of the keywords you give it from social networks, news sites, blogs,
Reddit and, on its larger plans, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, reviews, newsletters and podcasts,
gives each mention a sentiment, and sends alerts by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams and its mobile
app. Its home page describes it as an AI social listening tool for protecting brand reputation,
and its plan grid adds reports, reach and engagement tracking, and, from the $499 plan, AI events
detection and an AI brand assistant. Read from [brand24.com](https://brand24.com/) and
[brand24.com/prices](https://brand24.com/prices/) on 20 September 2026.

## What does $249 a month buy on Brand24?

Three keywords, 2,000 mentions a month, one user and an update every 12 hours. Brand24's FAQ
defines a keyword as any word or phrase you track across the web. So three keywords is a brand, a
competitor and one phrase people use when they have the problem you solve. The card lists no
reach tracking and no reports beyond the daily and weekly ones. Read from
[brand24.com/prices](https://brand24.com/prices/) on 20 September 2026.

## What do Brand24's other sources cost you on Reddit?

The whole allowance, because Brand24 counts a mention from any source against the same monthly
number. Its FAQ defines a mention as a single result from a social post, a blog post, a message
board post or a news article, and a product name that gets a lot of Instagram mentions uses up
the allowance you wanted for Reddit. Past the limit, its FAQ says it never charges more than the plan
and contacts you about an upgrade. Reddit also refreshes only as often as the plan does. Read
from [brand24.com/prices](https://brand24.com/prices/) on 20 September 2026.

## Why Redwatcher is the better Brand24 alternative for Reddit

1. **Twenty-five keywords for $29, not three for $249.** On Brand24, three keywords cost $249 a
   month and 25 keywords is the $699 Business plan. Redwatcher's $29 plan watches 25 subreddits
   for 25 keywords, and the two larger plans are $49 for 50 and $89 for 100.
2. **The same speed on every plan.** Brand24 updates every 12 hours on its $249 plan, every hour
   at $349, and in real time from $499. Redwatcher checks every subreddit you track around the
   clock, multiple times every hour, on every plan.
3. **No mention allowance to share.** Brand24's $249 plan includes 2,000 mentions a month across
   every source it watches. Redwatcher sends what scores above your bar and puts the rest under
   Skipped, where you can still read them, and none of it costs extra.
4. **A score from 0 to 100 with the reason, on every plan.** Brand24's grid lists AI sentiment on
   every plan and lets you sort mentions by how important they are. It does not list a relevance score, and
   its pricing page lists no reason attached to a mention. Redwatcher writes the reason under every thread. Under one thread the reason reads
   *"A buying decision in progress, with the requirements and the budget stated"*, and that thread
   scores 94. When a score is wrong, you say what was wrong, and it becomes a rule that every later
   match is judged against.
5. **Unlimited team members on the entry plan.** Brand24's $249 plan is one user, and unlimited
   users start at $349. On Redwatcher every plan has unlimited team members, and each client or
   brand is its own project with its own keywords, subreddits, rules and alert channels.

![The Redwatcher inbox for a Klaviyo project: a thread scored 94, a competitor comparison scored 88, and a job post scored 24 and skipped, each with the reasons underneath](img/product-inbox.webp "**The Redwatcher inbox**, captured 18 September 2026. Every thread shows its score, the word that matched is highlighted in the title, and the reasons are underneath. Anything under your bar is not sent, and you can still read it.")

![A thread scored 94 being corrected to 38, and the correction saved as a scoring rule](img/product-scoring.webp "**Tell it what was wrong, and it becomes a rule.** Captured 20 September 2026. Redwatcher writes the correction into your scoring rules and re-scores the thread.")

Slack and Telegram install in one click, and every channel has a test button that sends a real message.")
