Mention Pricing 2026: No Longer Sold, and What Replaced It

Matt
· Updated 5 min read

Quick answer: You can no longer buy Mention. Agorapulse acquired it in 2025, and Mention's own help center now says: "As of July 1, 2026, Mention is no longer sold as a standalone product." Its listening technology continues as Agorapulse Listening, an add-on to Agorapulse's higher plans, sold through Agorapulse's sales team with no published price. Existing Mention customers keep their current plan. Checked October 2026.

What happened to Mention's plans

Mention used to sell self-serve plans (Solo, Pro and Pro Plus) that many review sites still list with prices. Those prices are out of date. The changes came in stages:

WhenWhat changedSource
Spring 2025Agorapulse acquires MentionJoffe & Associés

July 2025Solo, Pro and Pro Plus closed to new customers. The Company plan remainsMention help center
July 1, 2026Mention no longer sold as a standalone productMention help center

So if you are reading a Mention price on another site, check its date. Anything quoting Solo, Pro or Pro Plus predates July 2025, and anything quoting a Company plan you can sign up for predates July 2026.

The Company plan, for existing customers

The Company plan was the last plan Mention sold. Mention's help center describes it as:

  • Yearly billing only
  • 5 alerts (the keywords or brands you track), with more available to buy
  • 50,000 mentions a month, with more available to buy
  • Unlimited users and 100 reports

Third-party pricing sites reported it at about $599/month on an annual contract. Mention's own pricing page no longer shows a figure: the price fields are empty in the page source. Existing customers can keep the plan; new customers cannot buy it.

Mention's pricing page also notes that Publish and Respond are being deprecated, with Agorapulse named as the replacement. Mention is now a listening tool only.

What to buy instead

Agorapulse Listening (the direct successor)

Mention's help center points to Agorapulse Listening as "the next generation of social listening", available as an add-on to Agorapulse's Advanced or Tailored plans, with "all purchases handled through our sales team". On Agorapulse's pricing page the add-on is called Advanced Listening and its button is "Book a demo".

That means the listening price is quoted, and it sits on top of an Agorapulse plan priced per user. Agorapulse publishes its base plan prices; see our Agorapulse pricing breakdown and confirm current figures on Agorapulse's pricing page before budgeting.

Other listening tools

If you need a listening tool you can sign up for today at a published price, Brand24 is the closest replacement for Mention's old self-serve plans. It also prices by keywords and mention volume, which is the model Mention users are used to.

Where SocialRails fits

SocialRails is a scheduler. It does not do social listening, so it does not replace Mention.
