Questions
Yes, especially if your usage isn’t the same every day. Credits are monthly, so a busy day doesn’t hit a daily cap, and you get 70+ platforms, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Amazon and review sites, with monitors built in.
Plans start at $100 a month for 1,500 units a day and go up to $1,400 for 50,000 a day, and units reset every day at 00:00 UTC. Monocrawl plans start at $29 a month for 10,000 credits, with 150 free credits at sign-up.
On EnsembleData, calls return an error once the day’s units are used, until the reset at midnight UTC. Monocrawl credits last the whole month.
Monocrawl charges nothing for failed calls, including usernames that don’t exist. EnsembleData doesn’t charge its own internal errors, but a lookup of a username that doesn’t exist still costs a unit.
Yes. Monocrawl monitors run on a schedule, work out what changed and alert you by email, Slack, Discord or webhook.
