Brandwatch does not show prices, and every suite is sold by quote. Vendr reports that the median buyer pays $50,000 a year, across 40 purchases, the highest median of any vendor on this site. Its plans page lists “standard to enterprise plans” for each suite and asks you to get started with sales.

  • Consumer Intelligence: social listening and research on online conversations.
  • Social Media Management: publishing and engagement (formerly the Falcon suite).
  • Influence: influencer marketing (formerly Paladin).

Brandwatch is part of Cision, and its site sells “Brandwatch + Cision” solutions to global enterprises.

Is Brandwatch the right size for you?

Brandwatch’s suites are built for teams that research consumer conversation at volume, such as insight and research teams. If you only need to know when your company or a competitor is in the news, compare the vendors on this site that publish prices first.

Contract and renewal terms

The Terms and Conditions link on Brandwatch’s legal page opens Cision’s Master Subscription Agreement (last updated September 25, 2025). We read it on October 22, 2026. It sets no renewal notice window, so your order holds the rule. It says fees are invoiced every year in advance and are non-cancellable and non-refundable, unless the order says otherwise. Ask for the notice date in writing before you sign.

On October 22, 2026 we read Brandwatch’s plans page, its legal page, the Cision Master Subscription Agreement it links to, and Vendr’s Brandwatch page. Vendr’s Brandwatch figures come from 40 purchases that Vendr saw, so they show what some buyers paid, not a list price. To report a change, email team@debriefing.io.
