Why switch?

Socify

  • Self-serve REST for builders
  • Credits not insight seats
  • Nine networks programmable
  • No taxonomy project overhead
  • Agent-simple JSON
  • 99.97% SLA

Brandwatch

  • Enterprise listening suite
  • Seat and contract sales
  • Dashboard-first workflows
  • Heavy onboarding
  • Analytics over raw API
  • Expensive for simple lookups

The quiet dealbreaker: six-figure listening when you needed GET /user.

Brandwatch sells insights seats and taxonomies. Builders wiring agents want a credit-metered REST API, not a listening rollout.

On Socify builders do not buy an insights suite for GET /user. Self-serve credits replace listening seats for public data.
