Hootsuite has gotten soooooo expensive in relation to the functionality it provides. The value is just not there compared to when prices were lower for SMBs.

In contrast, CoSchedule Marketing Suite provides huge value for the price and the tiered pricing based on users, number …

CoSchedule is definitely a more powerful marketing tool than Loomly or Buffer, which are more dedicated to straight social media scheduling. I preview the calendar overview offered by CoSchedule, which makes it easy to see everything at a glance. PromoRepublic is similar but …

CoSchedule offers a lot more than some of its competitors, but you have to evaluate what your organization needs and doesn't need. For some organizations, they only need a content planner for social media, and CoSchedule might not be the best fit due to price compared to some …

CoSchedule provides collaborative planning of projects. The calendar view is very well designed. Meetings and tasks can be scheduled and tracked easily. Whatever is being done, no matter how big the task/project is, it gives a bird-eye view of everything. Additionally, it also …

After trying other social media scheduling tools, CoSchedule is my favorite. Like I said previously, it fills the gaps I've found in other tools. I feel more organized with CoSchedule and prefer their mobile app as well.

CoSchedule better supports the content creation and redistribution of content activities. The best thing was that you can get it all automated here, while other tools do not provide with support. I would say CoSchedule is one of the best tools for managing both content and …

The previous tools we used had no ability to make numerical calculators and limited logic jump features within surveys (if someone answers question one a particular way, skip question two, etc.) and more limited ability to direct people toward different outcomes based on how …
Chose Outgrow
I haven't used anything else. Maybe Typeform. But Outgrow is engaging, it gets people to want to be involved and be proud of their answer. It's a true lead magnet. I selected it because it's a cool way that is different than a mere download. It's much more sharable than any …
Chose Outgrow
I did use a couple of other popular quiz design programs but I wasn't able to create the conditional logic and outcomes I needed. Outgrow has been the best option for my needs.
Chose Outgrow
Outgrow has a superior versatility coming to the animation, presentation of answers and results for users when completing the quiz. Also, the ability to create complex formulas for answers has been by far the most logical and extensive I have seen for a quiz generator.
Chose Outgrow
I've used a few WordPress based quiz plugins and they just don't compare. They are generally clunky, ugly, and lacking in decent notifications and analytics.

Outgrow is a no brainer.

Limited functionalities, and limited design options. I really only want to implement a solution if it truly fits with the rest of my website and the level of quality of the rest of my products. When looking at the features and usability of Convertcalculator I felt that it did …

I prefer Outgrow to LeadQuizzes because the interactive features are more advanced and also because the overall design is better. An outgrow quiz looks great as a standalone website. It integrates with Google Analytics, converts well off Facebook Ads, and works great as a modal …
Chose Outgrow
Outgrow by far has the fastest load time of any of the quiz software I've used. This is a big deal when running paid ads to a quiz as we don't want people to bounce away because of a slow site. Also, the mathematical formulas and question types are quite sophisticated. The sky …

Outgrow holds its own against all competitors. The reason it became the top choice was because of the way the platform approaches the creation of interactive quizzes and calculators. There is substantiated science and psychology behind what makes them effective, and Outgrow …
Chose Outgrow
Outgrow does more logical calculations, delivers CTA on the results page, redirects based upon results, and is easier to build than [the competitors]. Each tool has at least one of the features of Outgrow, but none of them combine them except for Outgrow. I was looking for a …

Thrive Quizz builder is a solid plugin but only works on wordpress and you don`t have these kind of integration with other platforms. Thrive is more limited in a lot of ways. Outgrow is a league on its own

Greater value in terms of flexibility to use as needed for any project. Documentation and support ensures I get answers to questions without spending too much time on set up and learning how to use. They continue to add value with things like more templates and new features, so …
Chose Outgrow
Typeform offers intelligent forms through the use of "logic jump", however, Outgrow offers similar services plus more and their interactive quizzes and calculators are better looking and more engaging than the ones I built using Typeform.

CoSchedule does more than just content planning, it helps you organize your content, betters your content with headline analyzers, and allows you to organize your work and marketing calendars as well. If your organization is in a spot where you need a well-rounded tool to help with content, marketing, or even task organization, CoSchedule might be the right fit.

Outgrow is a better choice compared to its competitors if you don't want to end up promoting their product with your quizzes and calculators. I appreciate that they respect my ability to recommend their platform to peers rather than end-users. That said, Outgrow is a powerful suite of creative tools, and it's likely not a good choice for anyone who's planning to make just one quiz or calculator and then move on.

Pros
  • Best time to post is great at updating to when we get the most engagement by platform
  • Requeue tool to slate out additional posts for a given piece of content is a huge time saver
  • Aggregate analytics tool shows us a peek across our posts on a given platform that's actually easier to read than the platform itself

  • It engages potential customers.
  • It's a sort of "pick your own adventure" which appeals to a lot of people.
  • Outgrow has a number of different ways you can formulate the quiz, so there are different options to fit various styles you want to present to people.

Cons
  • The import Google Doc to WordPress functionality never worked successfully or reliably for me. So I just manually copy and paste Google Docs to the WordPress editor instead.
  • The social sharing counter was not that helpful, because it only counted Facebook and Google+. Who uses Google+ anymore? Plus, now they don't even show the social counter in the monthly calendar view. so you can't see the numbers without doing some extra digging.
  • In the monthly calendar view, some titles get cut off if they don't wrap cleanly in the day's box. So I would make it look cleaner instead of having words broken up by a hyphen.

  • The UI is a bit elaborate, it seems a bit too much when I want something basic
  • The results emails were a bit confusing to setup but support was great in getting this fixed
  • Only one Admin can use the basic service

Usability
The interface is very intuitive, from setting up social profiles, to posting, to tags, to optimizing for best day/time to post. It's super easy to scan the aggregate analytics. The calendar is very easy to grok at a glance, and the more advanced functionality is intuitive to set up.

It is a no code platform that makes content creation very easy with pre-built templates and strong lead generation tools. However, customisation options are limited , complex logic can be tricky and better content organisation is needed for a large scale use. Overall, it's user friendly but needs improvement in scalability and flexibility.

Support Rating
I didn't have to use their official support, but I can say that they put out a lot of content online to help users. Their YouTube page has quite an array of tutorial videos explaining how things work and how to get the most out of their tools. If you're struggling, before picking up a phone or blasting off an email, try searching for your problem on YouTube or their forums.

Support is very responsive and is quick to respond to questions and problems. Outgrow sometimes changes their pricing and plan structures and add/remove options without properly relaying the info to customers. They could do a better job with communications and being upfront with the pricing plans people sign up for.

CoSchedule is definitely a more powerful marketing tool than Loomly or Buffer, which are more dedicated to straight social media scheduling. I preview the calendar overview offered by CoSchedule, which makes it easy to see everything at a glance. PromoRepublic is similar but has the added Canva-type integration, which makes it more appealing to our clients who want to be able to easily put together their own images. CoSchedule is a bit pricy, which can be prohibitive for clients who don't pay in dollars.

Limited functionalities, and limited design options. I really only want to implement a solution if it truly fits with the rest of my website and the level of quality of the rest of my products. When looking at the features and usability of Convertcalculator I felt that it did not perform as well as Outgrow. Another reason was the number of resources in their Help Center. I did not start a chat with them, so I can't comment on their customer service. I feel like there is no real competition out there, or I've been searching in the wrong places.
