Mention
Media monitoring and social listening tool for tracking brand mentions across social media, news, blogs, forums, and the web in real-time.
The problem it solves: I want real-time alerts whenever my brand or my competitors get mentioned across news sites, blogs, and social media.
Our verdict: Mention instead of SimilarWeb?
Switch if: SMBs and social teams that mainly need real-time brand and keyword monitoring across the web and social plus share-of-voice comparison against competitors.
Don’t switch if: Anyone needing website traffic estimation, keyword/SEO, ad or app intelligence, since Mention covers none of SimilarWeb's analytics.
Biggest caveat: Repeated Trustpilot reports of being charged for another year after cancelling an annual plan on time, with the company denying the cancellation and support going unresponsive.

What Real Users Complain About
Negative feedback found on public platforms — because every tool has trade-offs, and vendors won't show you these.
“Mention fraudulently charged my card for a canceled subscription and completely ignored my support requests. I canceled our yearly plan on time, but they still charged us for the next year. Mention falsely claimed we never canceled and refused to issue a refund.”
“For weeks, I tried contacting support—no response or false claims. Even after disputing the charge with my bank, Mention misled them, denying my cancellation despite clear proof.”
