Awario

What Awario does

Awario is a social listening and brand monitoring platform operated by Link-Assistant.Com, serving marketing professionals, PR agencies, social media managers, and sales teams since 2015. The platform tracks brand mentions across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, blogs, forums, news, and the broader web, distinguishing itself through proprietary web crawling infrastructure that processes over 13 billion pages daily rather than relying solely on third-party data providers.

The product portfolio centers on a core monitoring platform augmented by specialized modules including Boolean Search for precise query construction, NLP-powered sentiment analysis, Topic Cloud for theme visualization, Location-based Monitoring, and Share of Voice competitive benchmarking. Enterprise customers gain access to a Social Listening API (v1.0) for programmatic integration into external systems, plus white-label PDF reporting and custom alerting. The platform integrates natively with Slack and Zapier.

Awario operates a tiered SaaS subscription model (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) billed monthly with pricing not publicly disclosed, combining a product-led growth motion (free trial, self-serve onboarding) for SMB and individual users with direct enterprise sales engagement for larger accounts. The platform is available globally in six languages, targeting marketing agencies, e-commerce companies, and brand managers in North America, Europe, and Asia. The company is bootstrapped (no institutional funding disclosed), employs 51–100 people, and is led by CEO Yuri Bitno.
