Considered Both Products
Growave
Chose Growave
I have not used any other before because this one was great from the get go.
Chose Growave
I selected Growave based on reviews and research from the web. I have not been disappointed with my choice.
Chose Growave
Yotpo seems to have more ways to integrate your reviews with other features on your site, but Growave is a simple solution for people who aren't actively focusing their attention on reviews. Yotpo also seems to have better filters for negative keywords and swear words …
PromoRepublic
Chose PromoRepublic
I don't think there is a huge difference between the both, PromoRepublic and NapoleanCat. PromoRepublic takes that edge by having more social media networks, where NapoleanCat has only a few social media networks.
Chose PromoRepublic
Radaars basic functionality does the same thing but it’s more robust than PromoRepublic because it has such features as ability to manage chats across several platforms. Further, Radaar offers the ability to post directly to Tik Tok which PromoRepublic does not do. And given …
Chose PromoRepublic
We primarily use Promo Republic for clients who have smaller budgets as the cost for PromoRepublic is less than some of the competing platforms.

PromoRepublic does make it easier to track separate locations/pages that may fall under one company. This can be great for an …
Chose PromoRepublic
I enjoy PromoRepublic and would probably choose it over any of the other scheduling tools I've tried, because of the quick support, ease of use, and other benefits I've spoken about in this review. It definitely makes working with freelancers easier, as creating notes for them, …
Chose PromoRepublic
PromoRepublic is more built for agencies and was also more affordable than Hootsuite and Buffer. Price was a factor in my search, but usability was just as important. PromoRepublic created ease by separating each of my clients' accounts. Can save posts so I could reuse at …
Chose PromoRepublic
Ultimately I selected PR because I was able to get it for a one-time cost rather than a subscription, but now that I'm used to it I couldn't imagine life without it. I've only used the free versions of the other platforms, so my experience with PR is obviously superior. …
Chose PromoRepublic
The post ideas and creator definitely make PromoRepublic more of a one-stop shop. I can create, post, and study analytics all in one spot.
Chose PromoRepublic
Hootsuite is what my office primarily uses and it's good. I just prefer the way you can see all the posts in the calendar dashboard on PromoRepublic and I like that it has fresh curated content for me to peruse.

Likelihood to Recommend
After an exhaustive search, I was excited to choose Growave for my biz rewards & loyalty program, the Smile High Club™. The app is very customizeable so has checked off every requirement as far as our branding style guide goes. The greatest thing about Growave is its people. They are so kind, patient & know their stuff!! They always have an answer for me

PromoRepublic is excellent for collaboration, such as working with freelancers, or clients who want to leave notes and be responsible for final approval. It's also good for brands who need ideas about what to post on a daily basis, as their idea library is quite extensive. The image creation tool is also good for beginners, with plenty of templates, though it isn't as extensive as Canva. It's definitely a solid option for social media management. Can't think of a situation where it wouldn't be appropriate.

Pros

  • Generates post ideas and curated content. If I'm out of ideas on content for the week/month I can usually peruse their prepared content to generate ideas.
  • Timed posting based on our current engagement rates. Helps me to decide the ideal times to post to ensure the greatest amount of engagement.
  • Easy post editor. Has a plethora of images and fonts I can use to make an eye-catching copy for our social media.

Cons
  • Consider making some of the Enterprise only features available to Growth. Specifically, ability to offer products in exchange for points! I would like to give my best customer the opportunity to earn really cool corporate swag. For example, Collect 100 S'Miles (points) in exchange to WhiteBrights leather book bag. Also, Klaviyo integration. That should not be an Enterprise level feature?

  • I'd like to be able to drag and drop posts to different dates and times from the calendar view.
  • I'd like to be able to duplicate an entire post from the calendar view and drag it to another date and time.

Usability
We're currently a small newly launched eCommerce business so our needs are pretty basic. This app is free and does what we need it to and Growave's customer support and their dev team are super patient, helpful and attentive.

The user interface is very straight forward and easy to use. They also make it incredibly simple edit premade post ideas as well as create your own. You can connect all of the basic social media platforms which makes it great for individuals looking to streamline their scheduling process to get more content out

Yotpo seems to have more ways to integrate your reviews with other features on your site, but Growave is a simple solution for people who aren't actively focusing their attention on reviews. Yotpo also seems to have better filters for negative keywords and swear words (important for children's toy company). However, Yotpo carries a much higher price tag.
