Brolly
Brolly captures social media conversations as records for organizations that need to preserve and produce them. Through official APIs, it connects to Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, LinkedIn and TikTok, capturing posts, comments, replies, reactions, edits, deletions, media and API-supported direct messages with metadata and timestamps. Teams can search connected accounts and export response packages in PDF, CSV, HTML or JSON. Archive & Monitoring plans include unlimited accounts, users and storage; their monthly size is based on new records captured. Flying Solo is $108 a month for 250 records, Maven is $438 a month for 1,000, Juggler is $768 a month for 3,000, and Maestro is $1,098 a month for 5,000. Listed prices are guaranteed for 12 months. Insights adds engagement, sentiment and keyword analytics plus risk signals. Protect uses AI moderation to hide specified comments and spam while retaining a record of what was hidden and why. Brolly is web-based and offers a 30-day trial, but it does not currently import third-party archives.
