ROLLI VS MELTWATER

Meltwater measures reach. Rolli measures reality.

Meltwater was built for brand monitoring and media outreach. Rolli IQ was built to answer the question your crisis calls actually hinge on: is this spike organic anger, or is someone manufacturing it? One tool reports the noise. The other tells you whether to respond to it.

The fundamental difference

Two very different questions.

Both sets of questions matter. But only one of them determines whether you escalate a crisis call at 2am — or go back to sleep.

Meltwater answers:

"How many mentions did we get?"
"What is the overall sentiment?"
"Which journalists are covering this?"
"What is our share of voice vs. competitors?"
"Who are the key influencers by reach?"

Rolli IQ answers:

"Is this spike organic or manufactured?"
"Are coordinated accounts driving amplification?"
"Which emotions are dominant, and in which countries?"
"Should we escalate this to the executive team?"
"What is the evidence-backed briefing for leadership?"

Teams that switched from Meltwater report 4 hrs earlier threat detection — because Rolli scores authenticity in real time, not 24 hours later.
