No card. ### Which one fits ![](/logos/alternatives/awario.png)Pick Awario if - You need Facebook, Vimeo, forums or the open web. - You track many spellings of one brand: a topic holds unlimited keywords. - You need PDF or white-label reports for clients. - You pay annually and your 3 topics find thousands of posts a month. Pick Mentio if - You want the API and MCP from your first keyword, not on Enterprise. - You track where developers talk: Hacker News, GitHub, Stack Overflow, DEV, Bluesky. - You want each mention scored against what you sell. - You want to start with one keyword and pay as you go. ## What it costs An example month: 3 keywords and 1,000 matched posts a month. Awario €49 on Starter, or €29 a month billed annually (no API, no export) Mentio $23.00 a month Awario prices in euros and counts topics, each with unlimited keywords, up to 30,000 mentions a month on Starter. Mentio prices in US dollars per keyword and per mention, with the API included. For many synonyms of one brand on annual billing, Awario Starter costs less. ## Moving from Awario 1. 1 Sign up and describe your company in a sentence, so relevance is scored against it. 2. 2 Turn each Awario topic into keywords: one per term, with the words it must or must not contain as keyword rules. 3. 3 Connect Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook, or create an API key and read mentions from your own code. 4. 4 Each keyword starts with up to 10 posts per platform from the last 30 days, where the platform allows it.

If you want mentions in your own code or AI agent, Mentio puts a REST API, an MCP server and SDKs on every account and covers Hacker News, GitHub, Stack Overflow and DEV next to Reddit and X. If you need Facebook, forums, the open web or white-label PDF reports, Awario covers them and Mentio does not. How much does Awario cost? According to its pricing page, Awario Starter is €49 a month or €29 a month billed annually, Pro is €149 (€89 billed annually) and Enterprise is €399 (€249 billed annually). Every plan counts topics with unlimited keywords each, and the free trial gives access to Starter with no card. Does Awario have an API? Yes, on Enterprise only: Awario says a personal API key needs Awario Enterprise or a larger custom plan. On Mentio the API and the MCP server come with every account, from the first keyword. Is Mentio cheaper than Awario? It depends on billing and volume. Three keywords that find 1,000 posts a month cost $23.00 on Mentio, against €49 on Awario Starter monthly or €29 billed annually. Awario Starter has no API or export; Mentio includes both. ## Start monitoring brand mentions One request tracks your first keyword. The first scored mention lands within minutes, in Slack, a webhook, or your agent.
