// what's inside the guide
Everything you need to understand the noise.
A complete listening toolkit — collection, sentiment, trends, authors, alerts and dashboards — without the enterprise weight or the enterprise invoice.
Listen across the galaxy
One query, eleven networks. Track every mention across Bluesky, X, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, news, Mastodon, Hacker News, DEV.to, Tumblr and Twitch — in real time.
Sentiment in plain English
Our AI reads the room so you don't have to. Positive, neutral or negative — scored per mention and rolled up into a sentiment you can actually act on.
Spot trends before they break
Volume spikes, emerging topics and share-of-voice shifts surface the moment they happen, so you're early to the story rather than last to hear it.
Find the voices that matter
Rank the authors, creators and journalists driving the conversation by reach, engagement and sentiment — and build outreach lists in a click.
Boolean queries, done right
AND, OR, NOT, exact phrases and hashtags — evaluated precisely on every platform. Required and excluded keywords keep the noise out.
Calm, useful alerts
Get a nudge when volume surges or sentiment dips — not a firehose. Babel42 tells you when something genuinely needs you.
Dashboards you'd actually share
Build the view you need with custom charts, comparisons and tables — then send a link that looks like it took a designer a week.
Reputation radar
Catch the negative thread while it's still a thread. Real-time monitoring and alerts mean a crisis never gets the head start.
// listen everywhere
Every network. One query. Zero tabs.
