What is Buzzabout?
Buzzabout is an AI‑powered social‑media intelligence platform that helps marketers, content creators, and brand managers analyze billions of real conversations across major social platforms to discover what people actually think about brands, products, and niche topics. The tool lets you search for keywords, analyze trending content, and dive into comments and discussions to surface pain points, unmet needs, and emerging narratives. You can then ask the built‑in AI assistant follow‑up questions over the same data to refine audience segments, test messaging, and generate data‑backed talking points.
Key features include searching and analyzing social posts by topic or specific profile, extracting trending topics, building and sharing visual charts directly from the AI chat, and tracking conversations over time with automated alerts. Users can localize results by language, run parallel researches, and explore conversations with custom prompts that shape how the AI surfaces and summarizes insights. Reports are shareable via link or PDF, making it easy to align teams around customer sentiment and market dynamics.
Buzzabout is designed for marketers, product teams, brand strategists, and agencies who want to reduce manual social listening and instead base content, campaigns, and messaging on real‑time audience behavior. It suits both individual practitioners exploring a single niche and small teams that need consistent, structured insights to inform social‑search content, product‑led growth, and competitive positioning, without building their own data pipelines or social‑listening infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions about Buzzabout
What platforms do you analyze?
Buzzabout analyzes discussions across major social platforms, including Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, and other large public networks, focusing on posts and comments around brands, products, and topics. The exact mix of platforms may vary by plan, with enterprise and custom tiers able to include additional sources such as Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn via custom integrations.
Will my unused credits roll over?
Unused RH credits roll over each month as long as you stay on an active Pro or Business plan, so you can accumulate headroom for heavier research periods. This rollover logic applies to your base monthly allocation but not necessarily to one‑time top‑up credits, which may be subject to different expiration rules.
Can I combine a plan with one‑time top‑ups?
Yes, you can combine your Pro or Business plan with one‑time RH top‑ups so you can scale quickly for short campaigns or spikes in research demand without moving to a higher tier. The system will apply credits according to the priority rules explained in the FAQ on which credit types are consumed first.
How many RH does a research use?
Each research consumes a variable number of RH credits depending on how deep and broad the analysis is, such as the number of posts, comments, and time range included in the query. Simple trend or topic searches use fewer credits, while long‑running trackings and large‑scale audience analyses consume more, so users are encouraged to monitor their credit usage in the dashboard.
What happens to an active tracking if my RH hits zero?
If your RH balance reaches zero while a tracking is active, that tracking will pause until you add more credits or renew your plan, meaning new mentions and trends will not be captured during that period. Once you top up or reactivate a plan, tracking can resume and pick up new activity from that point forward.
Which credit types are consumed first?
Buzzabout consumes RH credits in a specific order: it first uses non‑expiring plan‑included credits, then rollover credits, and finally one‑time top‑up credits, so you never lose your base allocation while maximizing the value of extra purchases. The exact order is documented in the pricing FAQ to help teams plan long‑term research budgets.
Do RH expire?
RH credits tied to your monthly plan do not expire as long as you remain on that plan thanks to rollovers, but one‑time top‑up credits may carry an expiration if explicitly stated in the terms. Enterprise and custom plans often have different rules, which are clarified during onboarding or contract negotiation.
Do you offer nonprofit or education discounts?
Buzzabout offers nonprofit and education discounts on request, typically for qualifying organizations and academic institutions that want to use social‑media insights for research, teaching, or community projects. Interested teams should contact the sales team to confirm eligibility and discuss tailored pricing.
How can I request a refund?
Refunds are handled on a case‑by‑case basis and can be requested through the support channel linked from the pricing page or via the contact form. The team reviews subscription status, timing from purchase, and usage before processing any applicable refund or plan adjustment.
How can I get my invoice?
Invoices for Buzzabout subscriptions are generated automatically and can be accessed from your account billing section or via the link provided in the confirmation email. For enterprise or custom contracts, invoicing can be customized to match organizational requirements and payment cycles.
