    Content Strategist at Syrup Marketing (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees)
    Chose HeyOrca
    Much easier to use and understand.
    HeyOrca does what they do and they do it best, they don't complicate it with other things like Sprout Social does.

    New Sales Consultant in Marketing at University of Denver (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees)
    Chose HeyOrca
    Say HeyOrca is more streamlined and user-friendly. We use to use Hootsuite but a lot of our clients were confused because the dashboard is cluttered. I do think Hootsuite has more SEO capabilities.

    Alia Miller
    Marketing Manager in Social Media at Orbit Design (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees)
    Chose HeyOrca
    Hootsuite is definitely a popular platform and we used to use it but felt as though it wasn't super client friendly. We had a lot of confused clients that found it harder to understand and monitor their social content. I think HeyOrca does a better job with the calendar layout …

    Assistant Art Director at OOHology (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees)
    Chose HeyOrca
    While other programs have their benefits, the client approval process for Hey Orca is great and the program is easier to use and more closely resembles how work will look when published on a platform.

    Verified User
    Chose Sprout Social
    I found HeyOrca difficult to use and much more glitchy. We were constantly having issues with posts failing to upload, and sometimes you would schedule an entire week of content only for it to disappear once saved. For that reason we switched to Sprout Social and it is overall …

    Verified User
    Chose Sprout Social
    We use Sprout Social right now because it's very user friendly and has the features that we as a communications team need for the most part. We have used or looked into other scheduling platforms in the past, and mostly because of the cost of Sprout Social we have considered …
