Followerwonk vs. Simply Measured (discontinued)

Followerwonk is well-suited for those who are active and at least semi-influential on Twitter. Conversely, it is also very helpful for those just starting out on Twitter as the compare users tab allows for deep comparison to competitors or to those users who you aspire to become more like me in terms of Twitter activity and influence. The many, many analyzation metrics make Followerwonk a very valuable tool for Twitter users looking to grow or just polish their presence, both businesses and individuals alike. I'd recommend Follwerwonk for those who seek to better analyze and refine their social media influence

Simply Measured is great for people who do not want to spend too much time analyzing their owned social channel data but instead want a short and sweet snapshot of the your brand's performance. It is less appropriate for people who want to easily manipulate their data in many different ways.

• Followerwonk does a great job of providing a way to compare several Twitter users.
• I also really like the way Followerwonk makes it so easy to analyze and compare Twitter followers.

• Customer service analysis has been extremely useful for determining sentiment and adding context to real time crisis situations.
• Convenience of pulling data for all social channels at one time is extremely effective in making decisions in real time and to compare against other channel performance. The cross channel export minimizes a great deal of time for exporting data. Nearly all social channel data is available.
• Reports are extremely user friendly, visual and easy to export. Also the ability to see the raw data and to have it for historical reference is great.
• Key insights generated in the dashboard page help add fast context for performance.

• More Account viewing options on the track followers tab outside of yours and defined competitor's accounts
• Improvements to the Bio Word Cloud of followers in the Followers tab

• I wish I could download the entire reports as a jpg.
• More often than I'd have liked, I had to re-authorize my accounts.
• It would be nice to be able to move the graphs around to reflect my client's individual needs.

We will keep using it as long as it remains part of our Moz Pro subscription. If it were separated and the price point did not rise astronomically, we would be very likely to continue using the platform.

For my current client, it's not right - they would not be actionable with the data to really need this tool. For my past clients, I would suggest they stay on it and i think they would agree.

The interface is very simple and organized around the core elements of the platform : the reports.

I've never used their support. I've never needed to.

Extremely fast response and they go above and beyond without asking. The support team has provided me data beyond our limit before and it was not an issue and not an extra cost, really good business support.

Very good implementation.

Honestly, I haven't used many other services that compete specifically with Followeronk. One of the reasons for this is that the service Followerwonk offers is typically lumped into other services as additional features or buy-in options. What I like about Followerwonk is that it is easy to use, fast, and I don't have to spend hours or any additional money to get the information I need to be successful.

Customer service and the sales team is what was a key seller for us. We didn't feel pressured to buy something we wouldn't use and they we're able to listen to our needs and give us what fit for us. We've tried hootsuite but it's was too much out of the box

• One initiative our team launched was a series of educational webinars. We have been able to add an average of six new leads per webinar because of social media. If the messages had been delivered at non-peak times, there would be less likelihood of success.
• When it comes to social media, it's difficult to nail down specific ROI without referencing a specific campaign. However, our team has seen a consistent follower growth with increasing RT's and Favorites. I attribute this to the right content hitting the right people at the right time.
• Our team has uncovered a number of valuable relationships with other Twitter users in our industry that have helped us increase the reach of our overall marketing message. These relationships were uncovered using Followerwonk's keyword search.

• Tumblr was a huge channel for us but so opaque. Simply Measured really helped us start to understand how to better interact on the platform.
• Being able to work backward and identify potential influencers who were already talking about our brand was a great time saver and value.
