See the full pricingBrand24 and Outposts both read public posts. They are built for different jobs.
Brand24 is a brand monitoring tool. You track keywords for your brand and your competitors, and it collects the mentions, sorts them by sentiment and shows you what people say. Outposts looks for one thing: people asking for what you sell. It reads the thread, drafts a reply in your voice, and waits. You post it yourself. Outposts never signs in to your accounts.
Brand24 is a strong tool for brand monitoring. Its homepage says it gives you access to mentions across social media, news, blogs, videos, forums, podcasts and reviews, and it offers sentiment analysis that sorts mentions into positive, negative or neutral. Its plans add things like hourly or real-time updates, AI insights, reports and priority support.
It is built for marketers, PR people, agencies and companies that need to know what the world says about a brand. If you need to catch a bad review early, track a campaign or report on reputation, Brand24 does that job. Outposts does not try to replace it.
It looks for questions, not mentions. Brand24 tracks the keywords you give it. Outposts scores each thread for whether someone is actually asking for what you sell, then writes a reply of two or three sentences in your voice.
The draft is part of the product. You open the app, read the draft, edit it and post it from your own account. Your edits teach it your voice.
You stay in control. Outposts never signs in to your accounts. Nothing is posted unless you post it, which keeps account risk lower.
A lower entry price. Outposts Solo is $39 a month. Brand24 starts at $249 a month, or $199 a month billed annually (as of October 2026).
