Chose Contently
I also opened an account with Skyword in 2019, which is a similar service. The person that recommended it was a travel writer, and since I've done that as well, I thought it might be a better fit. To this point, I've received no work from it either, and don't hold out a lot of …
Chose Contently
They are a much better product and offer more analytics and customizations for us, but they are about twice the price as Taboola is.
Chose Contently
I haven't found a comparable product.
Chose Contently
I'd been aware of the company for several years. We've not used any of their competitors.
Chose Contently
Contently's sweet spot is their network of writers. I have tried a few other platforms but saw much lower writing quality. The tool is handy, especially if you produce multiple pieces of content every week.
Sprinklr Marketing
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We are also using Modern Engagement and both products combined together give us a perfect overview of paid&organic media performance.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
This tool was much easier to implement and understand for my team.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
Sprinklr is a more effective solution in terms of campaign operations for larger networks who operate at scale.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We are using different platforms for different clients. It depends on how the client's budget and what they can invest in their reporting tool. Sprinklr is the most complex, biggest, and most customizable. We say if Brandwatch is LEGO Duplo, then Socialbakers is LEGO Classic …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We selected the Advertising product because we were using the other products listed. I personally haven't used the Modern Care product but the customer service team loves it. I like using the Research and Engagement tools more as they feel less time-intensive to set up and use.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
There are none, otherwise we would have switched.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
I definitely prefer the native platform ad managers over Spredfast. They are much easier to use and saves me time and frustration. I usually just give up with Spredfast after I get so many errors that I can't figure out. I never have to worry that my ad is not running when I …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We use each of our tools for distinct projects and Sprinklr is the main social tool that we use, primarily because of the 'social listening' component which allows us to see where the conversation is among our competitors. This is critical in developing our positioning on …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
I used Social Bakers in the past, but at this moment we use Sprinklr, and I like the platform.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
Not part of decision making. Sprinklr was already implemented when I became involved with the platform.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
I've only used the free version of Hootsuite and Sprinklr had many more functions than that (though Sprinklr was paid so not really and apples to apples comparison). HubSpot was more of a web content tool with social plugins which were fine but nothing special. Sprinklr was …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
Sprinklr is above and beyond all other platforms currently on the market. No other platform meets the capabilities.

Likelihood to Recommend
It's helpful for top of marketing funnel writing that we can sometimes lose sight of because we are so ingrained in the product day to day. Contently is also helpful for long written pieces and ebooks that will take a significant amount of employee time to put together. I avoid using Contently for mid to bottom funnel marketing writing because my team will often have greater insight into the product function or use-case or product release, making them more adroit to the tone of the written piece and able to produce the content quickly.

Sprinklr Modern Marketing is a great tool to gauge the competitive landscape on certain topics that your company may want to be known for. It is also great at indicating the share of voice % based on the amount of mentions in the social landscape. Linkedin API has many limitations though which is our most important social platform

Cons
  • There are only two layouts you can choose from. I wish there were a few more choices for this, as the options are simple, but lacking.
  • Sometimes when I paste a link, it doesn't pull the correct picture or description from the page. It has pulled weird things I've never seen before and I have to go back in and manually fix them.
  • The option to purchase a domain without the .contently at the end?

  • Sprinklr Marketing could be better at publishing, specifically with Instagram publishing and accessibility
  • Sprinklr Marketing needs to further develop its Instagram Story reporting for data and insights

Support Rating
I'm giving them a 10, but honestly, I've never reached out to them. I do see them putting out regular content on social media, so they might be responsive to questions there as well as regular customer support. In their posts and communication, they do seem to value their community, so hopefully, they have good customer support. And I've seen them asking for pitches from their community to publish well-paid articles during this stressful coronavirus time, and I really appreciate that.

Very responsive team, always ready to jump on a call or provide any other ad-hoc support, both for the central team as well as for the markets. I appreciate the opportunity to organise onboarding calls with the markets when we identify any needs in terms of trainings/upskilling

Alternatives Considered
I also opened an account with Skyword in 2019, which is a similar service. The person that recommended it was a travel writer, and since I've done that as well, I thought it might be a better fit. To this point, I've received no work from it either, and don't hold out a lot of hope. As previously mentioned, where I think Contently does well is by giving you an online portfolio, additional resources like a blog for learning, and a rates database for publications.

Return on Investment
  • Contently contributors have produced some great inbound marking posts and creative materials saving our marketing team significant time allowing them to focus on more strategic plans for the business.
  • The amount of time Contently has saved our internal creative writing staff has more than paid for itself!

  • Measurable and easy to see clicks and actions taken on ads lends to a positive or negative ROI depending on the call to action.
  • As far as the cost of the tool, it's good to manage and control many users so I'd say this is a positive ROI.
