FAQs

Get answers to the most common questions about the program and buzzabout.

Who qualifies for the Education program?
Currently-enrolled students at accredited institutions (undergraduate, graduate, PhD), full-time educators and teaching faculty, and academic researchers working at universities or non-profit research labs. Verification is via your institutional (.edu or equivalent) email.
Is it really free for students?
Yes — individual students get the full Pro plan free for the duration of their studies, re-verified each academic year. Educators and research labs get discounted seat-based licenses (typically 70–90% off list). Fill out the form and we'll confirm pricing for your use case.
Can I use buzzabout data in a published paper or thesis?
Yes. Data exports include methodology notes, pattern definitions, confidence scores, and mention-level citations so your work is reproducible. We ask that you cite buzzabout in your methods section and share a copy of the published work with us.
How accurate is the pattern-matching for academic work?
Our pattern-matching algorithm runs at 86–95% accuracy depending on the pattern type and sample size — pain points and explicit objections sit at the top of that range, while subtler narrative structures and emotional tones land a few points lower. Every insight is traceable to the mentions it came from, so reviewers can audit the data behind your claims.
Can I use buzzabout in my classroom?
Yes — classroom licenses are available for marketing, communications, sociology, consumer behaviour, data journalism, and AI courses. We can provide teaching materials, example datasets, and a guest lecture from a buzzabout researcher if helpful.
What platforms and languages do you cover?
Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn, with coverage in 40+ languages. Historical data goes back several years on most platforms — useful for longitudinal studies.
