eClincher vs. RADAAR

If you are on a tight budget and sick of comparable options, this is the ideal solution. For an incredibly reasonable price, this can do everything I need to manage social media for a handful of mobile apps simultaneously. If you have infinite money, handle massive brands, and harbor huge expectations for powerful social media tools, you should go with one of the pricier options. But keep in mind, this will end up being the difference between $99 USD a month, and $3,000 USD a month. You need to really decide what you need before making that leap because, in the mobile world, it's often the case that money like that is best allocated elsewhere.

RADAAR is very well suited for bulk content scheduling across different social profiles. It's great to store passwords for different profiles in the passbook so you don't have to remember them all the time. It's really great for your own work, however, the post-approval feature for clients is not released yet. So if post-approval is a major concern for the users, they should wait for the RADAAR team to roll out this feature.

• We use eClincher to schedule posts and reply to messages on various social platforms.
• The platform compiles all of the social outlets so that we can see and reply to all outlets in the same dashboard.
• The reporting is wonderful! Easy to generate and easy for clients to read.
• There are so many outlets to post your message, the more on one platform the better. There are a couple of things that we've requested from eClincher and they've always been able to deliver.

• Bulk scheduling of content for multiple social media profiles with CSV import
• Real-time monitoring of all the social profiles with the Stream modules
• Social Inbox displays the details of messages and comments done on our profiles. Plus the ability to filter them and reply from Radaar

• It's not very visually appealing, but this is not a dealbreaker.
• The reporting features could definitely use some work. I still get more value from the native SNS pages, but this is quickly changing. They removed the "export to CSV" functionality, but they plan to reintroduce it soon. As mentioned previously, they really respond to criticism well and update the tool constantly.
• The inbox could use some work. I don't like being directed offsite to view certain comments deemed "requests for further info" when they could just easily display them there.

• Content creation and the Calendar should be in different sections as the calendar makes the tool slower.
• Ability to crop images directly in the content creation window and also the option to add a Watermark to the created content.
• Bulk delete the posts which are no longer needed.
• Ability to add Labels in the posts in bulk or add an option to add labels at the import CSV option
• Introduce an editor like google docs for the WordPress posts creation and scheduling.
• Media library should be added to upload and host images and videos for use in posts.
• For Twitter, there should option to Retweet the performing posts and setup automations.

Unless the price of eClincher moves to a point where it is too much to justify, I don't see any reason why we wouldn't continue to use eClincher for our agency. The value at this price-point is unbelievable and we'd be foolish to move to a pricier program purely for the sake of slicker graphics or UI. eClinchers pricing is fantastic, and is only matched by its functionality—it matches or beats any of the major Social Media Manager SaaS programs out there for a fraction of the cost. This tool is great for growing agencies, but would also be useful for any marketing department or large agency that wants to streamline their social media workflow.

Its usability was good until they changed their plans and stopped their LTD program for its early adopters who helped raise the tool by giving it positive reviews. I don't think eClincher is ethical in any sense based on the recent actions.

RADAAR is a robust tool, and it is constantly being developed. As an early adopter, I can say that this is definitely a steal. Who knows how powerful RADAAR can be in the near future. It constantly follows the lead of all the leading platforms, and it adapts in every way possible. Again, a community-based SAAS development makes this tool very very useful.

[In my experience,] due to the fact that they did a bait and switch on their plans and blamed AppSumo for the lifetime program ending is simply wrong. [I believe that] it's unethical to get support and reviews from their early adopters then take the plan away later.

I have gotten in touch with the support team just a few times since RADAAR is quite easy to use. But on those few occasions, the team had been very responsive and applied the needed urgency. Even the founder is very active and attentive to user concerns and needs. The future is indeed bright.

Be patient. eClincher isn't perfect and has some software issues. These issues will be exacerbated if you get frustrated or have a slow connection. If something "breaks" or locks up, just refresh the page and re-do that step. It may take your team a couple weeks to get use to using the new system. Once they've gotten the hang of it, I'm sure they'll love the amount of time they save. I'd recommend taking your time with the set-up. Though there aren't a lot of steps to get everything squared away, you can break the process into small chunks to make sure you're managing your time. To just hook-up all the social accounts, it may only take an hour or so. But, if you want to set-up all the extra tools (such as user accounts, listening feeds, posting groups, schedules, etc.) it'll take longer. I think it took around a day to set-up completely, but your mileage my vary.

I used Sprout in a past life and while it does have some more features and might be a bit more aesthetically pleasing and a tad more intuitive, it doesn't have the queues feature eClincher has, and it is much more expensive. The only feature I miss from Sprout really is the customer history feature.

• Improved staff productivity tenfold.
• Have not been able to calculate an ROI however, it has enabled us to take on more client accounts therefore improving turnover.

Incentivized

• RADAAR reduced our manpower cost by doing our posts in bulk
• Efficiency of posting (less errors because all are pre-planned)
• Faster client responses
