Chose LiftMetrix (discontinued)
This was the first program that I used so do not have anything to compare it to. It does work better than scheduling within Facebook now Meta. I am not looking into other options because I would like to be able to post to more social accounts at a lower cost.
Chose LiftMetrix (discontinued)
I have been using Hootsuite Impact for about a year for basic social media posting and suggested top post dates and times. The ability to merge the past posts with current data with little effort, plus the easy to use navigation with Hootsuite Impact was the tipping point. I …
Chose LiftMetrix (discontinued)
Because Hootsuite has a strong publishing/listening tool that connects to analytics, it was the best for us. Tracx has incredible analytics, but their publishing tools were not as strong. Sprout social was good as well, but their single inbox/stream was not ideal for managing …
Chose LiftMetrix (discontinued)
Hootsuite Impact is far easy to use, both in setup and in pulling reports, than Adobe Social was for us. The visualizations make data far easier to read, and being able to quickly filter through mentions has helped us to be more nimble when pulling reports.

User Testimonials
LiftMetrix (discontinued)Smartly.io
Likelihood to Recommend
I like that I can really dig in to the advanced filers to generate the custom reports that apply to my industry and the accounts I have linked to Hootsuite. I have more experience with some networks and not as much experience with others, so the suggestions I am able to review and implement have been enormously helpful. I have a marketing staff of 4, so having Impact do the legwork helps us focus on the creative aspect of our marketing plan.

It is the best for visually appealing brands, basically, any hedonic goods to advertise. Best if you have a lot of visuals to represent your business and want to leverage your presence on given platforms. You can easily turn images into videos or have dynamic attributes for your remarketing campaign. As the pricing is not attractive for smaller clients, it is the best to be either a big brand to use the platform on your own or a big agency to use smartly.io features as your competitive advantage.

  • If the problem involves some product bugs, customer support does not leave it be. They forward the problem to engineers so it would be solved. Once we caught a problem, they fixed it through the weekend. They always keep you in the loop with the current status of the issue. Once a new person jumps in to follow up, the reaction is
  • They are all the time super polite and very friendly.
  • Replies in under 5 minutes.
  • Customer support can jump into your account and make quick fixes if you allow them to.
