Update – Social Media Monitoring will become a paid only product

Although, we wanted to continue our free offering of social media monitoring, the cost of maintaining it has skyrocketed with over 100,000 keywords tracked by tens of thousands of users.

Also, cost of storing open-ended unstructured data for years has taken a toll by bloating into tens of TBs of data stored in RDS/Elastic Search/S3/EBS etc.

So, we have decided to do the following –

1) Free users will no longer be able to create social media monitoring profiles.

2) Current free users will also not be able to see their data starting Monday unless they upgrade.

3) Daily monitoring email updates will continue but if you at any time want them stopped, simply delete your monitoring profiles from the Monitoring section.

These changes will roll out over the weekend.

Please do let us know if you have strong opinions on this. Else, please upgrade

Thx for continued support.
