Meltwater pricing: tailored quotes, annual terms
updated 18 October 2026 · facts about other products checked 17 October 2026 from their own pages
Meltwater does not publish prices. Every plan on its pricing page says "Contact Sales", and its FAQ says it uses tailored pricing instead of a list. Most agreements are annual, with a 12-month minimum. There is no self-serve free trial, only a free guided demo. What you pay is whatever your quote says, and this guide covers what goes into it.
Facts come from Meltwater's pricing page and home page, checked on 17 October 2026. We don't quote third-party estimates.
Meltwater plans
Meltwater describes itself as media intelligence, social listening, AI visibility tracking, media relations and influencer marketing for PR, communications and marketing leaders. The pricing page names four plans.
| Plan | Who it is for | What the page lists |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | Small comms and marketing teams, startups and scale-ups | Mira AI, alerts and reporting, pre-built dashboards |
| Pro | Regional teams and multi-channel marketing organizations | Mira AI Advanced, competitive benchmarking, custom dashboards |
| Enterprise | Global brands | Adds influencer marketing, developer and MCP integrations, governance and permissions |
| Agency | Agencies | Starter, Growth and Enterprise Agency variants |
All four show "Contact Sales" where a price would be.
