Frequently asked

The five-minute version of the switching conversation.

Is Orbitvibe a PR tool?
No — it's a growth tool. If your team spans PR and growth, keep Brandwatch for press and use Orbitvibe for creator revenue.
Can I keep Brandwatch for consumer research?
Yes — common split is Brandwatch Consumer Research + Orbitvibe for influencer. No workflow overlap.
Will I lose the Cision media database connection?
Yes. Orbitvibe is not a media/press database. If Cision matters, keep the Brandwatch stack.
How does crisis alerting compare?
Orbitvibe alerts are creator/campaign-centric. Brandwatch's social-listening-driven crisis alerts stay where they are.
Can both tools share creator records?
Yes — two-way sync via Zapier or custom webhook. Keeps creator data authoritative in one source.
Is there a contract flexibility difference?
Massive. Brandwatch Influence is typically a multi-year commit with seat minimums. Orbitvibe is month-to-month.
Does Orbitvibe serve exec / PR outreach?
No — keep your PR stack. Orbitvibe optimizes for creator + brand partnerships, not press relations.
What's a reasonable phased migration plan?
Phase 1: keep Brandwatch, add Orbitvibe for creator work (60 days). Phase 2: measure ROI delta. Phase 3: decide whether to consolidate or keep both.
