Alternatives to Meltwater
Other Social listening vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Meltwater does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 21 that differ from Meltwater on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Meltwater has 6 gaps in what we could measure: Data location stated, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change. The column “publishes and Meltwater does not” is the one that closes them.
