CrowdTangle Alternative After Shutdown

AyeWatch is an AI monitor for public pages and topics. It sends a summary to push, email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.

Research use case

Apply for Meta Content Library if you are an eligible researcher. It is the official successor for public content research, with application-based access and terms of use.

Plan for a slower workflow than CrowdTangle. The access rules are stricter.

Brand monitoring use case

Brand24, Talkwalker, or Brandwatch. They cover mentions, sentiment, and public posts within their source lists. Compare coverage with your real queries.

None of them is a complete archive of every public post. Set expectations with the team.

Page and topic use case

AyeWatch watches a specific page, subreddit, or topic and sends a summary. It is the right tool when the source is known and the decision is a change.

Pro is $9/mo with 50 topics and hourly checks; Pro+ is $19/mo with 200 topics and ASAP mode.

Rebuild the workflow

List the reports CrowdTangle supported. For each, name the new source and the owner. Some reports will not survive. That is acceptable if the decisions they supported still have coverage.

Do not rebuild a dashboard for its own sake.

Set the new baseline

Compare a month of the new stack to the last month of CrowdTangle. Note the gaps and decide whether they matter. The CrowdTangle alternatives guide covers the options.

A replacement stack is a series of tradeoffs, not a clone.

Replace CrowdTangle

1. List the reports and decisions CrowdTangle supported.
2. Apply for Meta Content Library if you qualify.
3. Add a listening suite for brand coverage.
4. Add a page and topic monitor for known sources.

The bottom line

List the reports you actually used. Map each to a new source. Accept the gaps you can live with. Build the stack around decisions, not around a dashboard you miss.
