I find the basic analytics meet my needs quite well, I don't pay for the listening add on. I do use tag reporting very frequently to measure sentiment, content program performance, and more. That is a step above a basic level account, but not an additional spend.

Know how you want to use the data and what questions you're trying to solve for and then archive once you find those answers!
