Mention has tracked brands across social media, news, blogs, forums and more than 75 review sites for years. Its own help pages say that from 1 Jul 2026 it is no longer sold as a standalone product: existing plans continue, and new buyers get Agorapulse Listening. If you need brand listening inside a wider social media suite, that move may suit you.
Its help pages also say its Publish and Respond features are being retired, so replying from inside Mention is going away. FounderDive is built around the reply. It looks in nine places for posts asking for what you built, scores each out of 100, keeps 72 or more, and writes the reply only from facts you gave it.
Before you see a reply, FounderDive checks it eight ways, including group rules, 9 helpful replies per 1 that mentions you, two weeks off per group and a shadowban check. It never posts: you press send. It doesn't track brand mentions, review sites or news.
Use FounderDive if
You need to answer people asking for your kind of product, not monitor what is said about your brand.
