Meltwater is built for mid-size to large companies with dedicated PR teams and big budgets — not the typical small business. The platform does a great job tracking brand mentions and media coverage across many channels, but starting at $6,000 a year (and often running $25,000+) with no monthly option or free tier, it's hard to justify for most businesses under 50 people when cheaper tools like Mention or Brand24 cover the basics.
AI-generated training guides tailored to your team's size, skill level, and focus areas for Meltwater — coming in v0.3.2.
