FAQs

  • Can I pay by invoice?
    We can only provide invoicing on Enterprise plans when paid yearly. Invoices are then paid via bank transfer. All other plans must be paid for by credit/debit card.
  • What’s the difference between an Alert and a mention?
    Alerts are notifications set up by users. Mentions are online references that trigger these Alerts. In BuzzSumo you can set up Alerts for keyword mentions, URLs, and domains. There are six different types of Alert: brand, keyword, content, backlink, competitor, and journalist.
  • Can I get a refund?
    We allow you to cancel at any time, but bear in mind you will still be charged for the full duration of your subscription. For example, if you subscribe to an annual plan and decide to cancel after two months, we cannot issue a refund for the remaining 10 months. Equally, if you subscribe to a monthly plan and cancel on day 10, we will be unable to refund the remaining 20 days pro rata.
  • Do you offer non-profit discounts?
    Yes! We offer discounts for NGOs and registered charitable non-profits. We also offer discounts for educational institutions using BuzzSumo in the classroom. Please contact us to learn more.

    Most AI note-taking lists are really lists of meeting bots, which join your video call and transcribe it. That's useful, but it's half the picture. Decisions happen in hallway conversations, client dinners, on-site visits, and hybrid rooms where nobody is on a video link.
