Frequently asked questions
- Should I pick Tell It Now or OpView?
- OpView only does listening — tracks what others say about you. Pick Tell It Now if you also want to run campaigns, track results, and track AI visibility. Pick OpView if listening is the only thing you need.
- Is Kolr enterprise-only?
- No — Kolr has Free / Premium / Advanced tiers, so SMBs can use Free or Premium. But Kolr is primarily a creator database; it doesn't do reputation health tracking or AI visibility.
- What's the difference between Influenxio and Partipost?
- Influenxio is a curated creator marketplace (vetted KOLs, 2-3 day turnaround). Partipost is crowdsourced UGC (volume amateurs, for ad creative). Pick Influenxio for quality, Partipost for volume.
- Which tools track AI visibility?
- Most legacy listening tools (OpView, Meltwater, Brandwatch) and creator marketplaces (Influenxio, Kolr, Partipost, VGV) don't track AI visibility yet. Tell It Now is the first we're aware of that treats AI visibility as its own scored surface.
- Do I need multiple tools?
- Depends on your budget and headcount. In theory: OpView for listening + Influenxio for campaigns + Google Analytics for traffic = 3 tools, 3 subscriptions, 3 dashboards. Tell It Now bundles those 5 surfaces so SMB-to-mid brands don't have to run three stacks.
