Why switch?

Socify

  • Engineering-first REST
  • Credits on success
  • Nine networks
  • No listening-SaaS packaging
  • One envelope
  • 99.97% SLA

Octolens

  • Listening SaaS UX
  • Brand monitoring focus
  • Seat/product packaging
  • Shallow as raw data API
  • AI listening framing
  • Not endpoint-catalog first

The hard limit: another listening SaaS in a data stack.

Listening UIs help marketing teams. Product engineers still wire a credit-based social API with a stable schema.

On Socify engineering gets a credit-metered social API, not another listening SaaS. Success-based billing, one envelope.
