How to choose
Which media channels does it need to monitor?
Check whether a service covers the channels you care about: broadcast, print, or online news. The board compares those monitoring features, so use them to narrow your options.
Do I need an archive, reports, or sentiment analysis?
Compare historical archive access, coverage reports, and sentiment analysis against your work needs. These are separate features on the board; do not assume a service includes one because it monitors a particular channel.
Where do I need to use the software?
The listed platform options include web, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and API. Check the platform marks for a service before choosing it, especially if you need a phone app or an API.
Can I try it before paying?
Compare free-plan availability, paid starting price, and trial details. A free plan and a free trial are different: a trial provides temporary access, while a free plan is an ongoing no-cost option. Check the service’s pricing details for terms.
How can I check API access or open-source code?
Use the board’s API and open-source marks as a starting point. If an API matters, confirm what access includes with the provider; if you need to read or change code, check the tool’s license.
