Outgrow vs. Scoop.it Content Director

Outgrow is a better choice compared to its competitors if you don't want to end up promoting their product with your quizzes and calculators. I appreciate that they respect my ability to recommend their platform to peers rather than end-users. That said, Outgrow is a powerful suite of creative tools, and it's likely not a good choice for anyone who's planning to make just one quiz or calculator and then move on.

Scoop.it does have collaboration features so you can have more than one admin add content to a topic, but there is no platform for collaboration or drafting of content. It is easy to try out the free version and get a good idea of what the application does, and then add on features from there

• It engages potential customers.
• It's a sort of "pick your own adventure" which appeals to a lot of people.
• Outgrow has a number of different ways you can formulate the quiz, so there are different options to fit various styles you want to present to people.

• Graphics are Scoop.it's strength. Scoop.it sites look great on social media; they invite people in to a much larger room of information, and engage them with color and well-placed articles. We love the design and it is very easy to share.
• We like the fact that we can add a few comments of our own as well as recommend other sources. This keeps the information personal.
• For important topics, one facebook post or one article illustration just isn't enough. Scoop.it allows us to cluster information that is obviously tied together but gives a variety of perspectives on a topic.

• The UI is a bit elaborate, it seems a bit too much when I want something basic
• The results emails were a bit confusing to setup but support was great in getting this fixed
• Only one Admin can use the basic service

• Can't seem to get the advertisements for products blocked from the suggestions area. Scrolling through all of them is a real time wasting activity.

I love the ease of use, beautiful profile page each user receives, and the ability to share on multiple platforms with the touch of a button. If you don't have articles to share, Scoop.it provides suggestions for you daily. Anyone can set up a page in minutes, set up topics, choose relevant keywords, and begin! It's really that simple.

It is a no code platform that makes content creation very easy with pre-built templates and strong lead generation tools. However, customisation options are limited , complex logic can be tricky and better content organisation is needed for a large scale use. Overall, it's user friendly but needs improvement in scalability and flexibility.

Well thought out UI

The search engine housed within Scoop it delivers the most up to date articles based on the criteria I have provided it.

Support is very responsive and is quick to respond to questions and problems. Outgrow sometimes changes their pricing and plan structures and add/remove options without properly relaying the info to customers. They could do a better job with communications and being upfront with the pricing plans people sign up for.

Limited functionalities, and limited design options. I really only want to implement a solution if it truly fits with the rest of my website and the level of quality of the rest of my products. When looking at the features and usability of Convertcalculator I felt that it did not perform as well as Outgrow. Another reason was the number of resources in their Help Center. I did not start a chat with them, so I can't comment on their customer service. I feel like there is no real competition out there, or I've been searching in the wrong places.

We used both social sites and as a personal preference, I liked Scoop.it considerably more because of the layout of the site and the ease of the user experience. It was also much easier to share content. I like to think of Scoop.it as the "short, sweet and to the point" website that gives me exactly what we need, when we need it and the manner in which it easiest to use.
