A reply thread about your pricing is a churn signal hours before a support ticket, and a Twitter monitoring tool that only watches your handle misses the posts that never tag you. What we watch ### Posts and replies Public posts that contain your keyword, replies included, with the author, their follower count and the post a reply answers. How often ### Every hour Each keyword is searched once an hour. Cadence is a latency knob here, not a coverage one: a longer gap finds the same posts, later.

Mentio starts every account with $5.80 of credit and no card: one keyword for a month plus 100 mentions, on X and nine other platforms. After that it is $5 per keyword per month and $0.008 per matched mention, with no subscription to cancel. ### What replaced TweetDeck for keyword alerts? TweetDeck became X Pro, a paid column view you still have to watch. Mentio watches for you: each keyword is searched every hour through the official X API, and only the posts that matter reach Slack, Telegram, email, a webhook or your AI agent. ### Can I get Twitter keyword alerts in Slack? Yes. Connect Slack once and each alert rule posts matching mentions as they arrive, with the author, their follower count, the AI relevance score and a mute button for the author. Lower-volume keywords can go out as a daily digest instead. ### Does Mentio use the official X API? Yes. X API v2 recent search where it is enabled, a licensed data provider otherwise, and nothing outside the adapter knows which answered. Replies arrive with the post they answer, so the thread reads in context. ### Is there an X (Twitter) MCP server for brand mentions? Mentio is one. Its MCP server gives Claude, Cursor, Codex and any other MCP client tools to search, filter and triage X mentions next to the other nine platforms, so an agent can pull this week's negative posts about your product and draft the replies. ### How often is X checked? Every hour, per keyword. The cadence only sets latency: a longer gap finds the same posts, later. Every matched post is scored for relevance, sentiment and intent before anything is delivered.
