What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Mention - This affordable tool for PR professionals tracks brand callouts across social platforms and the web” Claude Haiku 4.5 · PR · budget prompt · first choice

“Best overall for a limited budget: Mention or Brand24” GPT-5.4 mini · PR · budget prompt · first choice

“Budget monitoring | Brand24, Mention, Awario” Kimi K2 · PR · negative prompt · first choice

“intuitive query builder that makes it easy to monitor millions of sources and analyze changes in mention volume” Claude Haiku 4.5 · PR · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“it has since eliminated its affordable plans (now ~$599/mo minimum). Most older articles recommending it are outdated.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · PR · budget prompt · hard negative

“Was budget-friendly but shifted enterprise. Skip unless sales quotes a deal.” Grok 4.1 Fast · PR · budget prompt · hard negative

“auto-deletion after 12 months and unclear data sovereignty concerns” Perplexity Sonar · PR · negative prompt · soft negative

“MODERATE RISK ... Be very careful with contract terms.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · PR · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Mention. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 15 of the 81 answers that named Mention and are not a share of its labels.

Names read as Mention

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Mention; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Mention's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Mention, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at mention-me.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
