Mention provides real-time web and social media alerts that let brands, companies and individuals track, share and react to what’s said about them online. Its web app works on PC and mobile and offers a free tier plus paid plans: $19.99/month for a Pro plan (unlimited alerts and history, 50,000 mentions/month, data export and analytics) and $99.95/month for a Team plan (adds multi-user support). Founded in April last year, Mention has amassed 50,000 users and paying customers in 46 countries and is seeing double-digit revenue growth month-over-month. Customers span law firms, universities, city councils, PR firms, private detectives, communities, Fortune 500 companies, students, NGOs, political parties, hotels and restaurants, with usage from San Francisco to Tokyo. The company says it will use new capital to build out a marketing and sales team and to develop collaborative features for multi-user organizations, and it plans to relocate its core team to the U.S. Mention frames itself as "Google Alerts on steroids" and positions more as a competitor to social monitoring services like HootSuite than to Google Alerts.
