# Octolens pricing for SaaS and developer-relations teams: every plan, read November 10, 2026

By [Ryan Doyle](https://rpdoyle.com), founder of CommunityMentions. Updated November 10, 2026.

For a SaaS or developer-relations team, Octolens Pro costs $199 a month billed monthly, or $159 a month billed annually, for 10 keywords and 15,000 mentions. Scale is $599 a month, or $499 billed annually, for 40 keywords, 50,000 mentions, real-time refresh and podcasts, news, web and newsletters. Enterprise is custom. Read from octolens.com on November 10, 2026.

- **$199**: Pro a month billed monthly: 10 keywords, 15,000 mentions
- **$159**: Pro a month billed annually, $1,908 a year
- **$19.90**: Pro's cost per included keyword a month, billed monthly
- **$10**: Each extra keyword a month on Pro ($5 on Scale)

## Quick picks: which Octolens plan fits?

- You track one product and a few competitors on social and developer platforms: Pro, $199 a month, or $159 billed annually.
- You also need podcasts, news, newsletters and the open web, or real-time refresh: Scale, $599 a month, or $499 billed annually.
- You run several brands from separate workspaces: Enterprise, priced on a call.
- You need 11 to 59 keywords: Pro plus extra keywords at $10 each costs less than Scale, unless you want Scale's media sources or real-time refresh.
- You mostly watch Reddit and Hacker News on a small budget: [Syften](https://communitymentions.com/syften-pricing) from $29.95 or [F5Bot](https://communitymentions.com/f5bot-pricing) from free.
- You'd rather have comments posted than get mentions: CommunityMentions, which is ours, posts for you at $1,000 a month.

## Every Octolens plan, line by line

Every cell comes from [Octolens pricing](https://octolens.com/pricing) on November 10, 2026, with the Monthly and Annually toggles both read. The page says annual billing saves up to 20%: 20% on Pro and about 17% on Scale.

|  | Pro | Scale | Enterprise |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Billed monthly | $199 a month | $599 a month | Custom |
| Billed annually | $159 a month | $499 a month | Custom |
| Keywords | 10 | 40 | Unlimited |
| Extra keyword | $10 a month | $5 a month | Custom |
| Mentions included | 15,000 | 50,000 | Unlimited |
| Extra mention | $0.013 | $0.01 | Custom |
| Refresh | Hourly | Real-time | Real-time |
| Data history | 2 years | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Team seats | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Podcasts, news, newsletters, web | No | Yes | Yes |
| API, webhooks, MCP server | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Priority support (Slack Connect) | No | Yes | Yes |
| Custom AI agents, multiple workspaces | No | No | Yes |

## What does Octolens cost over 12 months?

Paying annually saves $480 a year on Pro and $1,200 on Scale. Both figures are the listed monthly prices multiplied out; overage on extra keywords or mentions comes on top. Our row is here for scale: CommunityMentions posts comments for you, so the prices buy different work.

| Plan | 12 months billed monthly | 12 months billed annually | Saved |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Pro | $2,388 | $1,908 | $480 |
| Scale | $7,188 | $5,988 | $1,200 |
| CommunityMentions (ours) | $12,001 with the $1 setup charge | No yearly plan | n/a |

## What do 20, 40 and 100 keywords cost?

Octolens sells by keyword and by mention, so the sticker price only holds while you stay inside both. Using the monthly-billed prices and the listed per-keyword rates, Pro stays cheaper than Scale below 60 keywords. At 60 both come to $699, past that Scale is cheaper, and Scale adds real-time refresh and media sources at any size.

| Keywords | Pro, billed monthly | Scale, billed monthly |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 10 | $199 | $599 |
| 20 | $299 (10 extra at $10) | $599 |
| 40 | $499 (30 extra at $10) | $599 |
| 100 | $1,099 (90 extra at $10) | $899 (60 extra at $5) |

## What happens when you go over your mentions?

- Mentions past your quota keep flowing and are billed at your plan's rate: $0.013 each on Pro and $0.01 on Scale.
- So 20,000 mentions in a month on Pro costs $199 plus 5,000 extra mentions, $264 in all.
- You can set a monthly spend cap, or turn extra mentions off, in settings.
- A broad keyword such as a common word can fill 15,000 mentions fast. Octolens's pricing page does not say whether mentions its AI relevance scoring rates as low value still count toward the quota, so ask before you rely on the score to hold the bill down.

## How many mentions are worth acting on?

Far fewer than the quota. In 84 finished samples from our site form between September 17 and November 4, 2026, the median run found 528 conversations and kept 35 as relevant, roughly 1 in 15 (the ratio of two medians). Those runs search by topic with our own scoring, so read it as a guide. On a plan priced by mentions that suggests a broad keyword brings far more matches than anyone will answer, which is why the spend cap matters and why it is worth asking whether scored-out mentions count toward the quota.

## Octolens pricing against other monitoring tools

Prices come from each vendor's own pricing page on November 10, 2026.

| Tool | Entry price a month | What sets it apart |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Octolens | $199 Pro, or $159 billed annually | LinkedIn, TikTok and review sites on every plan; API, webhooks and MCP on every plan |
| [Syften](https://communitymentions.com/syften-pricing) | $29.95 Entry; $49.95 Standard with Slack | Developer communities and podcasts; no LinkedIn |
| [F5Bot](https://communitymentions.com/f5bot-pricing) | Free; $49.99 Gold for business | 200 keywords on Gold; Reddit, Hacker News, Lobsters |
| [Brand24](https://brand24.com/prices/) | $249, or $199 billed annually | Media monitoring and sentiment for PR teams |
| CommunityMentions (ours) | $1,000 after a $1 setup charge | We post comments for you on Reddit, YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn and X; no mention alerts |

## Where Octolens is worth the money

- LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube, GitHub and Stack Overflow on the entry plan, which the cheaper Reddit tools don't cover.
- API, webhooks and an MCP server on every plan, not only the top one.
- Unlimited team seats on every plan.
- A spend cap on overage, so a noisy keyword can't run up the bill.
- A 7-day trial that costs nothing and needs no card, and you can cancel anytime.

## How we priced Octolens

Every Octolens figure comes from its pricing page, read November 10, 2026 with both billing toggles. The 12-month, per-keyword and overage figures are our arithmetic on its listed prices, assuming the listed per-keyword rates apply to monthly billing. If Octolens's page says something different now, its page wins.
