They report volume, sentiment, and benchmarks. SOMIN turns the same signal into the client's own report -- decomposed into themes, always current, in their language.
Talkwalker and Rival IQ report what happened -- volume, sentiment, benchmarks; Whatagraph assembles multi-source marketing dashboards. SOMIN reports what's actually landing: the same category signal decomposed into themes, in named period snapshots and the client's own languages, live and self-serve between reviews. It runs on the SOMONITOR engine that already collapsed reporting time for SOMIN customers.

You need large-scale listening and sentiment analytics.
You want a themed, always-current client report on what's actually working.

You need head-to-head social benchmarking on metrics.
You want to show clients what's landing, decomposed and live between reviews.
Whatagraph automates multi-source marketing dashboards and client reports -- great for pulling many channels into one branded report. SOMIN reports the category layer it doesn't: what's landing by theme, from the same engine that decodes categories, live between reviews.
