Why switch?

Socify

  • Builder pricing with credits
  • No media-intel contract
  • Programmable nine networks
  • Pay per successful lookup
  • One JSON envelope
  • 99.97% SLA

Meltwater

  • Enterprise media intelligence
  • Seat/contract packaging
  • Comms workflow focus
  • Slow procurement
  • Dashboards over endpoints
  • Overkill for API reads

The hidden cost: intelligence suites priced like software seats.

Meltwater packages news + social intelligence for comms teams. Shipping product features on public social JSON is a different buy.

On Socify product traffic does not wait on media-intelligence contracts. Monthly credits cover successful social lookups.
