30 free tools for finding social media influencers | Social media agency London | FreshNetworks blog Our recently launched social media influencers report tests how effective nine of the leading social media monitoring tools are at identifying influencers. While these tools – Attensity 360, Brandwatch, Radian6, Alterian, Scoutlabs, Sysomos, Synthesio, Social Radar and PeerIndex – are certainly market leaders and offer comprehensive, cross-platform social media monitoring and influencer identification, they all come at a price.
