Brand24 is crossing into spoken-word monitoring, detecting brand mentions inside TikTok and YouTube audio before competitors do.
Brand24 has expanded well beyond text-based social listening. The product now ingests brand mentions from YouTube and TikTok video transcriptions, tracks how AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini reference brands, and offers Boolean-level query precision with AI-assisted search building. The Owned vs. Earned channel filter, launched in September, sharpens the core mention feed by separating a brand's own posts from organic external coverage — a data quality fix that improves nearly every downstream metric on the dashboard.
Sendible is steadily hardening publishing reliability and reporting accuracy across networks
Sendible's changelog is genuine product work focused on two areas: making publishing more reliable (rebuilt media infrastructure, universal media validation) and improving cross-network reporting (Facebook Reels analytics, corrected LinkedIn follower data). Recent additions include image alt text for accessibility and a redesigned Unified Calendar for managing drafts, scheduled posts, and queues in one view. The feed shows some duplicate entries for the same feature on different dates.
Brand24 has expanded well beyond text-based social listening.

The Owned vs. Earned channel filter, launched in September, sharpens the core mention feed by separating a brand's own posts from organic external coverage — a data quality fix that improves nearly every downstream metric on the dashboard.
Brand24 is systematically expanding its coverage surface from text toward audio and AI-generated content, then layering analytical depth on top. The pattern is clear: YouTube audio in June, TikTok video transcription in September, AI Visibility as a structured add-on since May. The product is positioning itself as a unified brand intelligence layer that spans traditional media, spoken web platforms, and LLM citation tracking — not just a social monitoring dashboard.
The AI Visibility add-on will likely move from trial-gated to core-plan within two or three quarters, as LLM citation tracking becomes a standard budget line for brand teams. Advanced Search, currently Business/Enterprise-only, is a candidate for mid-tier rollout to reduce churn from power users on lower plans.

Recent additions include image alt text for accessibility and a redesigned Unified Calendar for managing drafts, scheduled posts, and queues in one view. The feed shows some duplicate entries for the same feature on different dates.
The direction is operational dependability for social-media managers — fewer failed posts, accurate analytics, and a single workspace for scheduling. Sendible is deepening the core publish-and-measure loop rather than chasing new surfaces. Accessibility (alt text) and unified scheduling suggest attention to workflow polish on top of the reliability foundation.
Expect continued reporting-accuracy work across more networks and further consolidation of the scheduling/calendar experience, with reliability remaining the throughline.
