|---|---|---|---|---|
| Addictomatic | Social media monitoring | 3.0/5 1 rating | Comprehensive and original/unique social sources in a reader format | |
| Alexa | Trend watchers | alexa.com | 3.0/5 1 rating | Also great for demographics data. Greater freedom to run search queries if you don't log in. |

| Surchur | Social media monitoring | surchur.com | no rating | |
| The Brain | Databases | 1.0/5 1 rating | Mind maps are too full on and this one is so hermeneutic its unwieldy to move around and link things up | |
