The difference between Statusbrew & Brandwatch

Brandwatch (owned by Cision) is an amalgamation of different platforms that have been acquired and assembled over the years.

While the intention behind these mergers was to combine consumer research and social media management (falcon.io) capabilities, combining two companies is often very difficult.

You are not only merging two softwares; you’re merging cultures, leadership, and vision, which rarely benefits the consumers or loyalists of either platform.

Sure, it’s great if you’re an enterprise that needs everything under one banner, but if not, you'll get a complex, multi-faceted platform with a conflicting vision and divergent interests.

This makes it challenging for users seeking straightforward social media management solutions with a bit of social listening capabilities.

And in most cases, you end up paying a lot more (just because they have added more features that you might never use).

Statusbrew is all-in on social media management; that's our sole focus.

We offer transparent pricing, and an unlimited trial, so you have utmost clarity. And if you'd rather see how it looks and feels first, there are videos throughout this page, or you can book a call with us.

Also, what you need to know about Statusbrew

Statusbrew is a powerful social management tool.
But part of what makes us special is what we won’t do, such as:

No Price Hikes, Ever: The price you sign up for is the price you keep. Forever.
No Long Contracts. You're free to come and go as you please.
No Complex Pricing. We'll recommend the best plan, even if it's a lower one.
No Upselling, No Sales Emails. You’ll hear from us only when it matters.
No Ignoring Feedback: We listen & evolve (in days) based on your needs.
No Waiting. Our CS team works across 4 timezones and responds within minutes.

We know trust takes time—especially with a tool you’re likely hearing for the first time.

Trying something new isn’t easy. It takes time, effort, and a leap of faith. And if you’ve already had to make compromises with other tools, you probably don’t want to go through that again.

That’s why we won’t just tell you what we offer—we’ll show you.
On this page, there are detailed video walkthroughs, you can take a demo, start a chat or if you’d rather hear it from real people, you can. These folks gave us a chance when we were just starting out. We’re grateful—and they’re open to sharing their honest experience.

Whether you’re part of a growing agency, an enterprise org, or running things small—we’d be happy to connect you with someone in a similar space.

We’re here when you’re ready.

If you're under a Brandwatch contract, we can offer you a trial until your contract ends, so you don't have to pay for two tools.
