Watch out for this
This one **has no free plan** — all three cards on the official pricing page are paid. What's called "free" is a balance good for "about 500 mentions," and it **must be used within one day**. Converting at the Starter rate of US$0.025 per mention, that balance is worth roughly US$12.5. The pricing model is unusual too: you're not buying features, you're buying balance — every mention scraped deducts from it.
When the free quota is insufficient, how much does it cost to pay for it?
