Senior Manager Digital and Social Media in Marketing at Symphony Natural Health (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 11-50 employees)
Chose Agorapulse
Agorapulse is by far the greatest value for the highest capabilities across all aspects of social media management, and they have excellent customer service and communication in case you ever need support. While some of these other products that I have used or evaluated may be …

I think Agorapulse is by far the most comprehensive platform and user-friendly. In my experience, the support on hand is responsive and easy to speak with through the online chat. Hootsuite, Adobe Express, and Buffer seemed limited in what they offer in comparison, particularly …

Way more user friendly, easier to consult and faster to go were you need to. With Hootsuite there is a lot of scrolling for nothing.

Chose Agorapulse
We selected Agora due to better pricing for the core features we use so we don't feel that we are overpaying for tools we are not using much. Also, in comparison to Hootsuite, Agorapulse has better a community management tool, allowing labeling and easy automation which is key …

They have pros and cons. It's generally better than Hootsuite but more expensive. We use Later too for social planning. Perhaps it'd be useful to better understand everything we can do in Agora.

Chose Agorapulse
Agorapulse has YouTube, while many other platforms do not. It's user-friendly for agencies managing multiple clients. Statusbrew doesn't have a cap on the size of videos/pictures you can upload, which is nice, but it's also four times more expensive. Hootsuite has too many …

Principal Founder and CEO in Corporate at AgriLedger (Computer Software, 11-50 employees)
Chose Agorapulse
The reporting in Agorapulse and the ability to approve was one of the reasons for choosing Agorapulse. The cost basis was lower when we added all the features versus the free version of Hootsuite.
Another aspect was the UX/UI which was much more pleasant[.]

When we used Hootsuite we only used the free version, but the interface was cluttered and disorganized. We much prefer Agorapulse, where you can see things by network and keep things clean and organized. The mobile app is much better with Agorapulse as well.

We have used many different tools in the past but Agorapulse really is the best in terms of unifying all of our platforms in one place. It saves us time on a daily basis and means we can limit how many programmes we use. Why use five when one will do!
