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 have used Sprout Social, which is also a great product. AgoraPulse is more flexible for scheduling with a team and is more cost effective for my business.

Social Media and Advertising Manager in Marketing at Elevate Marketing Co. (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees)
Chose Agorapulse
Agorapulse is more of an all-in-one platform. With the exception of not having a grid preview for Instagram or automatic story publishing, Agorapulse beats all the rest. Sprout Social's reports are great, but the content management side is not what we need for the price we …

Media and Communications Manager at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (Higher Education, 201-500 employees)

Because we were looking for a tool that covered a broad range of platforms, our options were a bit limited. We considered Hootsuite and Sprout Social, but they were much more expensive than Agorapulse. Because we are a smaller team inside a smaller organization looking to grow …

Owner in Corporate at Green Monkey Creative (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees)
Chose Agorapulse
Well, it was a combo of things - I had a grandfathered plan from Hootsuite which meant I was paying very little for our account - but that also meant the new features were costing me a lot to add on and I wasn't sure I wanted to pay the current rates with a sub-par system.

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!

Chose Agorapulse
It's the best for the value! Sprout had a few functions that I miss, such as pulling label/tag reports. However, Agorapulse definitely measures up to its competitors. I would (and have) highly recommend it to other social media marketers.
