  note: Corrected 2026-08-13. The previous "Freemium" label was derived from a scaffold plans file that invented a free tier.
    Brandwatch publishes no prices, no plan tiers and no free tier; /plans/ is a solution chooser whose only call to action
    is a demo request. API access additionally requires an existing Consumer Research contract and a Regular or Admin seat,
    and the Data Upload and Analysis APIs each need separate enablement by a Brandwatch contact.
