Considered Both Products
Echobox Social
Chose Echobox Social
We decided to opt for Echobox Social as it is more suited for publishers than Sprout Social. We do not have to manually select when we would like to schedule posts. The AI-powered engine of Echobox Social not only means we are able to maximise our reach, but it also suggests …
Chose Echobox Social
Echobox Social stands out for its autonomous process of content creation and distribution, encompassing text, newsletter content, subjects, and scheduling times for both newsletter broadcasts and social media posts. Unlike other solutions we considered, such as Hootsuite or …
Chose Echobox Social
We received a recommendation for this tool (Hootsuite), but whoever gave us the information had not used it. We had difficulty understanding how it works. At the same time, in research done online, we discovered Echobox. We sent an email and were promptly responded to, …
Chose Echobox Social
To be completely honest, we've stumbled upon Echobox because some other media houses in Serbia were already using it. They were kind enough to offer us a trial and we were very satisfied with initial reactions, both from our staff and from our readers. Therefore it was a …
Chose Echobox Social
There's no comparison. The number of hours saved with automatic posting and the use of artificial intelligence to optimize schedules and select the correct audience made Echobox a very useful and valuable tool for our portal and we managed to gain a lot of time for other …
Chose Echobox Social
I was convinced by a videocall where they showed how they would improved our performances on Facebook and Instagram
Chose Echobox Social
For us, Echobox is the first tool of its kind so we can't make a comparison with other kinds of software. We have used tools like Trello and Slack, but they don't have this function and, of course, we used to use Facebook's integrated management system, but it's not comparable …
Chose Echobox Social
I'm not really comfortable comparing Echobox to other vendors I have not used. That said, Echobox's ease of use and an accessible client team drove our decision to select and stay with Echobox. We have been with them several years now and do not have any intentions of …
Chose Echobox Social
No comparison. Echobox is far more intuitive, and the integration is excellent. Although the cost is higher, the efficiency benefits so far outweigh the minor extra expense.
Chose Echobox Social
Echobox has allowed us better targeting and timing of each new published piece from our site.
Chose Echobox Social
Echobox has Artificial Intelligence to help publishers to find better ways to post at social media.
Chose Echobox Social
Echobox AI function (the ability to decide when is the best time to share a post) is a [game-changer] and also the UI is cleaner and easier to use. I found Hootsuite confusing and complicated. It has too many windows and also doesn't pull the articles automatically. There is no …
Chose Echobox Social
Later.com is used for Instagram in terms of links in bio. I have heard that Instagram on Echobox does not work so well for our company so we have not added this feature to our Echobox account.
Chose Echobox Social
In both products, you can post your different articles, but the big difference it´s that Echobox will choose the best moment to do it and in Zapier the article publish immediately.
Chose Echobox Social
We use the Echobox ranking for sharing and resharing the content at the best moment, plus we can edit the titles and the images before publishing on social networks. With Zapier, for example, we publish the content when the RSS feed was updated. Now we can reach the best …
Chose Echobox Social
Echobox can all be done on one webpage as opposed to needing multiple different tabs open, and also has a seemingly unlimited amount of users that can have an account, which is great for security as not everyone needs access to our actual social profiles. It's a lot more …
Chose Echobox Social
Sprout has far more analytic functionality but Echobox's AI analysis of our content and automation means we can trust the system to manage our posts and focus on content creation. Sprout remains a manual posting tool.
Chose Echobox Social
Dlvr.it did a very good automation job, but Echobox is tailor-made for news editors. Therefore, with Echobox we have much more control over how, when, and what we share on social media.
Chose Echobox Social
We selected Echobox as it was recommended by our international colleagues. No other similar products were considered. Prior to using Echobox, we posted directly onto each social media platform using their innate tools.
Chose Echobox Social
Hootsuite is great for influencers and other types of companies because it allows you to schedule everything in advance. The best part of Echobox is that you can connect it to your website and it will automatically crank out your own content with little difficulty in a way that …
SocialPilot
Chose SocialPilot
I've always been one to price compare first, and SocialPilot has always come out on top with more integrated platforms at the best price! I haven't done my research in the last 2 years because I'm very content with SocialPilot. Still, I do think/hope they will start integrating …
Chose SocialPilot
They are hard to beat on price and offer everything start-ups and enterprises need to enhance the efficiency of online marketing efforts and strategies. It is a smart choice for any business and you will save on time and money.

Echobox SocialSocialPilot
Likelihood to Recommend
Echobox Social is well suited to publishers and media organisations who are publishing daily online content that needs sharing across social platforms. It works best if your social media objective is driving traffic to your articles/website. It would be suitable for both small and large organisations, as it allows multiple users with different access.

I've already introduced it to a number of my colleagues and it's saving them time too.

Pros
  • Organizes our social media posts across both Facebook and Twitter
  • Easy scheduling of posts, with AI driving the scheduling of optimal times for each story
  • AI ferrets out best-performing posts and schedules them during the weekend and other downtimes when we are not actively engaging our readers

  • Bulk Uploading - this is the #1 reason I'm still with Socialpilot! Having a CSV file upload makes it much easier!
  • Images are automatically included - with many bulk uploads you'd have to upload your own images rather than it being pulled directly from the link. This is a game-changer!
  • Platforms - many are included!
  • Price - some are simply too expensive nowadays but SocialPilot is still one of the best competitors when it comes to price.

Cons
  • Since I'm Brazilian, and our whole team is based in Brazil, would be great if the whole platform was translated for Portuguese. There are no many English speakers in Brazil, to be honest. That would make it easier
  • Tik Tok. Would be nice if somehow Echobox could provide their AI for Tik Tok Users

Because I am totally satisfied with Echobox service. I find it balanced between the service itself and its cost. Compared to its competitors, it is, without a doubt, the best product for small publishers. It only lacks in a greater and more efficient management of statistics which, at the moment, is absent. I will definitely renew Echobox!

Usability
Echobox Social's user interface is straightforward to navigate and even members of our team who are not necessarily social media specialists can step in when needed. The schedule queue is very easy to understand, meaning different team members can see what content is scheduled to be posted. When trying to edit the automation settings, each feature is well explained if you hover over the question mark button.

It is powerful yet so easy to use. The social media analytics provided by this platform are easy to understand. The client's social accounts are managed easily through the client management feature without the need of waiting for the client to make you the admin to manage their page.

Support Rating
When there have been problems, they’ve usually been resolved very quickly. Some issues have occurred such as not being able to download images or posts not going out when the service has crashed, but they’re also very open to feedback. The option to download pictures loaded into the feed stories was my suggestion; saving us time creating new images and getting the posts out quickly

I've always been one to price compare first, and SocialPilot has always come out on top with more integrated platforms at the best price! I haven't done my research in the last 2 years because I'm very content with SocialPilot. Still, I do think/hope they will start integrating more helpful tools on the platform with new AI integrations and the AI pilot they already have.
