Awario
Social listening priced for one person
Awario watches the web and the social networks for a keyword and reports who said it, where, and how much reach they had. Most tools in this corner start in the hundreds a month and sell to agencies. Awario's entry plan is one seat and three topics, which is the shape somebody watching their own name and two competitors actually needs.
Our note
Brand24 is the closest thing to it and starts at $199 a month, which is the whole argument for Awario at the small end. For one person watching one name, the entry plan does what the expensive tools do.

Social Blade
Public stats for channels you do not own
Social Blade has been the place people check somebody else's numbers since long before creator analytics was a product category. Everything public is free to look at, which is why brands, journalists and rival channels all end up here. What a subscription buys is the absence of adverts, longer history and the ranked lists. The estimated earnings figure is a wide range built from public data, and it should be read as one.
