AllyHub
AllyHub is now a monitoring tool more than a research agent: it suits marketers, ecommerce sellers and creators who want competitor accounts, prices or reviews checked on a schedule without building scrapers. Credit allowances are finally published (2,000 a month on the $15.99 tier), but not what a run costs in credits, so budgeting still takes a trial. Teams that want collected data piped into their own systems should look elsewhere.
Pros
- Entry tier at $15.99 a month with 2,000 credits, and annual billing takes 20 percent off every tier
- Collects through a real browser, including pages that load dynamically or sit behind your own login
- Scheduled reruns with change tracking, dashboards and history kept per agent
- Ready-made tools for follower tracking, social listening and competitor monitoring
Cons
- No public API found for pulling the collected data into other systems
- The pricing page shows credits per plan but not credits per run or per tool
- Subscriptions are non-refundable under the terms, and the daily free credits are labelled limited-time
- Collecting from social networks through your own logged-in account may conflict with those networks' terms
