My pick
If you need Arabic understood, not just collected: crawlfeed. If you already have an Arabic model your team trusts, buy the cheapest raw data instead.
What I’d do today
- Pull 50 comments from your own last campaign.
- Label them by hand, then compare against each tool’s sentiment output.
- Pick the tool that agrees with your team most often on dialect-heavy comments.
Questions

I checked prices and features for every product here in October 2026, on each vendor’s own site: SocialCrawl pricing, ScrapeCreators, Apify pricing. Pricing in this market changes often, so check before you buy. Spotted something out of date? Tell me and I’ll fix it.
