We're locked into a Brandwatch contract. Can we still move?
Often, yes. If you qualify, the Syncly Buyout Program can cover Syncly Social for up to the time left on your current contract, so you aren't paying two vendors at once. The Buyout Program page has the full terms.
Who rebuilds our queries and alerts?
We do. Send us your current topic list and we turn it into plain-language queries. There are no Boolean strings to port, so nothing you tuned over the years has to be rebuilt by hand.
How does Syncly analyze video conversations?
Explore speech, on-screen text, and product appearances in collected videos, then inspect the original posts behind each finding.
What happens to our historical data?
Your existing Brandwatch data stays in Brandwatch. When we set up your queries, Syncly collects past posts from the platforms within your workspace's backfill period, so your trend lines don't start at zero.
How fast can we start?
In days. Describe what matters in plain language and Syncly filters the noise. You don't have to wait for a renewal date to begin.
