You pay for data, not for seats
Most social listening tools charge per user. CheckThat says Talkwalker prices on how much data you pull in instead, and offers unlimited users. That helps big teams where many people read the reports. It hurts small teams, because the floor price stays the same whether one person or twenty log in.
Because the price moves with data, keep your searches tight. A broad search on a common word can pull in millions of posts you never read. Compare our Meltwater, Sprinklr and Brandwatch pages for the main rivals.
Why the price is hidden
Software sold this way is priced by the sales team, not by a price list. The rep learns your size, your budget and how badly you need it, then builds a quote. Two companies the same size often pay different amounts for the same product. That is why the numbers on this page come from buyers and analysts, not from the vendor.
How to judge the quote in your hand
- Ask how many mentions your plan includes, and what happens when you pass the cap.
- Ask for the all in number: licence, setup, training and support for year one.
- Ask what renewal looks like in year two and three, in writing.
- Get a second quote from a rival and say so on the call.
- Buy at quarter end, when reps chase targets.
- Cut seats and modules you will not use in the first 90 days.
Ways to pay less
- Run a trial on your real searches before you sign, so the data estimate is honest.
- Pay yearly if the discount is real, not just a rounding of the monthly price.
- Start on the lowest tier and upgrade when you hit a wall.
- Ask for the setup fee to be waived or split over the year.
- Check the free trial or demo before you sign anything.
Before you decide
Talkwalker suits brands and agencies that track a lot of conversations and want many people reading the reports. Its image and video recognition can spot your logo in photos and clips.
Small teams watching a few keywords may pay for more data than they need. A simpler listening tool can cover light use.
A last tip: ask how Hootsuite plans to bundle Talkwalker with its own tools, since that may change what you pay at renewal.
