Determ review

Determ is an AI-powered media monitoring and social listening platform for teams tracking brand reputation, public sentiment and competitors. It collects online mentions, then uses analytics and Synthia AI to summarize coverage, flag sentiment shifts and offer recommendations. The aim is to help communications and marketing teams spot unusual mention volume or negative trends before they grow into a larger PR problem.

Searches combine Boolean operators with filters for location, language, source type, reach, engagement and custom tags. Determ also tracks Share of Voice, Net Sentiment Scores, author influence and competitor performance. Reporting includes dashboards, automated newsletter digests and exports to PDF, CSV, Excel, Word and PowerPoint. Its AI visibility feature tracks brand mentions, prominence and source citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.

The pricing information checked November 6, 2026 lists no free plan. A five-day trial is available, extended to 14 days with a scheduled product tour.

Determ’s feature set connects monitoring to follow-up: spike alerts and threshold-based notifications can surface critical mentions, unusual volume increases and negative sentiment trends, while Synthia AI summarizes feeds and points to sentiment changes. That makes it more than a mention counter on paper, though teams should confirm how alerts and recommendations fit their own workflow.

The search controls are another plus. Boolean operators, alongside filters for language, location, source type, reach, engagement and custom tags, give teams ways to narrow a feed instead of relying on a broad keyword search. Share of Voice, Net Sentiment Scores and competitor performance also put brand and market comparisons in the same product.

There is useful reporting flexibility: dashboards, newsletter digests and exports in five common office formats. Determ also includes AI visibility tracking for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, rather than limiting its stated monitoring scope to conventional online mentions.

The Expand plan includes all AI features and real-time updates. According to the listed pricing, it costs $279 per month on annual billing, with five topics, unlimited keywords and 5,000 mentions. Command raises that to 10 topics and 10,000 mentions for $467 per month on annual billing.

The entry plan’s main constraint is volume: Expand allows 5,000 mentions and five topics. “Unlimited keywords” does not mean unlimited monitoring capacity. Command doubles the topic and mention limits, but its annual-billing equivalent is $467 per month. Teams with larger requirements have to ask about Custom; its price and limits are not published.

The listed monthly prices are $335 for Expand and $558 for Command, while the lower equivalents of $279 and $467 require annual billing. The pricing information says annual billing includes two months off, so buyers should compare the commitment—not just the lower monthly figure—against their expected usage. No add-ons are listed, but that does not establish what might be available by quote.

There is no free plan, and the trial is five days unless a scheduled product tour extends it to 14. The published feature and pricing details do not specify historical data access or source-by-source coverage. Before switching, confirm those details, along with what counts toward the mention cap and whether Custom pricing is workable for your team.

Determ’s entry plan, Expand, is listed at $335 per month with a yearly commitment, or $279 per month when billed annually. It includes 5 topics and 5,000 mentions, with unlimited keywords, all AI features and real-time updates. Command costs $558 per month on the yearly commitment, or $467 per month annually. That’s a $223 monthly-rate increase—or $188 more per month at the annual equivalent—for 5 additional topics and 5,000 additional mentions. Both plans include unlimited keywords and all AI features, according to the published plan details.

• Expand: $335/month with a yearly commitment; $279/month billed annually.
• Command: $558/month with a yearly commitment; $467/month billed annually.
• Custom: price and limits are not published.

Annual billing is listed at a lower monthly equivalent with two months off; the monthly rates still require a yearly commitment. No add-ons are listed. A 5-day trial is available, extended to 14 days with a scheduled product tour. Prices were checked November 6, 2026, and carry medium confidence.

The available details don’t explain how to import saved searches, historical mentions or existing tags into Determ, so migration effort is not published. Before switching, ask what data can be brought over and whether your current monitoring period’s history will remain available. Determ lists exports in PDF, CSV, Excel, Word and PowerPoint, but the materials don’t specify export limits, retention periods or whether exports include raw mention data.

Lock-in is clearest on price: the listed monthly rates require a yearly commitment. Cancellation terms and any data access after cancellation are not published, so confirm both before signing. Determ’s plans cap topics and mentions—Expand has 5 topics and 5,000 mentions; Command has 10 and 10,000—though keywords are unlimited. That could matter if your volume grows or you need custom limits; Custom pricing is not public.
