MentionDrop

Google Alerts depends on Google's index and typically takes 2 to 3 days to surface a mention, missing roughly half of them. MentionDrop uses the Ahrefs Firehose (~8B pages crawled daily) plus the Reddit API and surfaces mentions in about 4 minutes. On top of that, every mention gets an AI summary, sentiment score, and a suggested next action so you know what to do without clicking through. Google Alerts gives you a link. We give you understanding.

No, intentionally. We monitor the web (blogs, news, forums, documentation) and Reddit. Social platforms are covered by dedicated tools like Octolens, and we do not compete with them. Our pitch is: everything that is not social, done better. If social coverage is a hard requirement, we are not the right tool.

Average detection time is approximately 4 minutes from when a page is published to when the alert reaches you. This depends on how quickly the Ahrefs crawler picks up the page, which varies by domain authority and update frequency. High-traffic domains are typically faster.

The Pro plan covers 20 keywords at $59/mo. If you need more, contact us directly. We can discuss a custom arrangement. We do not have a published tier above Pro yet.
