Mention
Provenance unknownPanel rating
Mention today is a listening and analytics product by its own support documentation: publishing and engagement were retired on 30 January 2026, the notice stating you can no longer create, schedule, or publish posts from Mention and can no longer reply to or manage conversations, with Agorapulse named the official recommended replacement — though a marketing page still presents a publishing calendar, queues and a 200-post CSV upload in the sister product's name, so the captured pages give different pictures.
