Transparency alternatives to Brandwatch
Other Social media management vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Brandwatch. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 26 that differ from Brandwatch on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Brandwatch has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Data location stated, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, HTTPS enforced with HSTS, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Named privacy contact. The column “Found there, not found at Brandwatch” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
