SocialPilot
Chose SocialPilot
I've always been one to price compare first, and SocialPilot has always come out on top with more integrated platforms at the best price! I haven't done my research in the last 2 years because I'm very content with SocialPilot. Still, I do think/hope they will start integrating …
Chose SocialPilot
They are hard to beat on price and offer everything start-ups and enterprises need to enhance the efficiency of online marketing efforts and strategies. It is a smart choice for any business and you will save on time and money.

Chose X Pro
We found TweetDeck was simpler to use and easier to navigate for handling tweets than Hootsuite. While it did not have the broader ability to handle multiple social media platforms, unlike Hootsuite, its ability to give you great oversight of many Twitter/X accounts at once …
Chose X Pro
When [it comes to] comparison I found all these platforms competitive and having great features altogether. All features are the same like monitoring, scheduling, Analysing but TweetDeck mainly analyzes on Twitter whereas on Hootsuite and Buffer, [it only] allows [you to] …
Chose X Pro
Several years ago I used the Hootsuite free service. I found Tweetdeck to be preferable because of its user interface, and greater functionality. Moreover, I recall Hootsuite bombarding me with emails that were just irrelevant. TweetDeck just does what it does, without hassle. …
Chose X Pro
Scheduling posts on Twitter Ads was always a relatively timely task, whereas TweetDeck is easy and quick. This means more can be done on the platform in a shorter amount of time, so extra work can also be done elsewhere.

It is, in my personal opinion, the best client for using …
Chose X Pro
Sprinklr is a one-stop space for all social media platforms and Tweetdeck only offers use with Twitter. However, Sprinklr has been unreliable for us in the past for scheduled posts and is a bit more complicated to navigate - hence we alternate between TweetDeck and Sprinklr. …
Chose X Pro
TweetDeck has the best listening for Twitter. Other platforms have social listening, but only for direct mentions or hashtag usage. TweetDeck can do so much more than this, picking up mentions of your brand even when a user doesn't directly mention you or use your hashtag. …
Chose X Pro
Unless you're using the paid version of Hootsuite, TweetDeck is far superior. Having no limits on the number of posts you can schedule is a big selling point. If you are on the paid version of Hootsuite, then you have more flexibility and the ability to manage multiple …
Chose X Pro
At this point, we do not need the other services that Hootsuite provides, though I am happy with that product. TweetDeck fulfills the perfect function we need for Twitter at this point.
Chose X Pro
There were a number of other social media dashboards I tried years ago but most of them were overkill for what I needed. There were lots of bells and whistles for lots of [money] but TweetDeck gave me everything I needed and was free.
Chose X Pro
TweetDeck is much cleaner and easier to utilize in Hootsuite. And, better yet, it is also free, which is nice. For budgetary purposes, would rather put it into ads and other mediums than paying for a software service.
Chose X Pro
There are many great Twitter tools out there for marketing etc, but for scheduling tweets, this is the only option I've ever explored (based on overwhelming recommendations). Even truer now that Twitter owns it.
Chose X Pro
TweetDeck's layout and design is more user-friendly than Hootsuite.
Chose X Pro
I used to use both TweetDeck and Hootsuite to manage the Twitter accounts used by our company. However, TweetDeck offers simpler post editing options including the ability to insert pictures making it favorable for our purposes.
Chose X Pro
Mainly it is a platform that is easy to use and integrates all accounts and Twitter profiles into a useful platform.
Chose X Pro
I've used HootSuite and HubSpot's Social Inbox. I would say that TweetDeck ranks third amongst them. TweetDeck is ideal for beginners and as they become more advanced they might want to turn to HootSuite or HubSpot for more features and integrations and analytics. If you're …
Chose X Pro
TweetDeck is comparative with the options available in HootSuite Free edition, although the fact that HootSuite allows you to monitor and publish on other platforms is more convenient. I created a TweetDeck account when I began using Meltwater Buzz as I missed the column views …
Chose X Pro
Complaint about this drop-down list -- it is too long.
Chose X Pro
I felt that HootSuite is similar to TweetDeck in many ways, however I found HootSuite to be more difficult to navigate and at times.
Chose X Pro
Tweetdeck much easier to use in functions. Hootsuite experiences often crashing.
Chose X Pro
I also currently use HooteSuite to manage over multiple sm channels, and dedicate tweetdeck for events or twitter discussions that do not branch into other channels, because I often need a multiple channel manager.
Chose X Pro
Hootsuite - I've tried it 2 separate times but it was just overly complicated. At the time it also didn't have a better way to access it, like Tweetdeck Chrome app. Also compared to the regular Twitter site, it's much quicker and doesn't hide images. You can view about 7 …
Chose X Pro
I use Hootsuite Enterprise currently to manage our client's social media accounts, and only use TweetDeck for top-priority issues that I want to make sure I see pop-up notifications for. Hootsuite Enterprise allows scheduling across many different channels and accounts and is …
Chose X Pro
TweetDeck was my choice over HootSuite because I found it to be more affordable and easier to use.
Chose X Pro
I like TweetDeck much better than HootSuite or Sprout Social because of its endless customizing features. Being able to make very specific columns allows for a better user experience and more opportunities for your business. These very niche options are why I chose TweetDeck …

TweetDeck is very useful in an industry that requires the gathering of news and sharing of one's own content. We use it on a daily basis to keep track of breaking stories and key trends to inform what content we produce. After this content is produced and published, we then push it on social using TweetDeck. While many things are posted immediately, we also schedule a lot of content throughout the day to ensure 24-hour coverage. The platform is remarkably suited to this job, more so than the native web client.

Pros
  • Bulk Uploading - this is the #1 reason I'm still with Socialpilot! Having a CSV file upload makes it much easier!
  • Images are automatically included - with many bulk uploads you'd have to upload your own images rather than it being pulled directly from the link. This is a game-changer!
  • Platforms - many are included!
  • Price - some are simply too expensive nowadays but SocialPilot is still one of the best competitors when it comes to price.

  • TweetDeck provides a detailed snapshot of your timeline and mentions in one view.
  • TweetDeck allows for scheduling across multiple accounts, and shows when each tweet is ready for publish.
  • TweetDeck allows you to customize the information you see for each account. If you don't want to see mentions but do want to see DMs for a certain account, you can do that.

Cons

  • Muting in lists - I have several lists, but I am only allowed to mute in a home feed. I would like to mute things not just in home, but in lists as well.
  • I have no other complaints. I really love Tweetdeck.

As I previously mentioned, if TweetDeck were to increase some features and integrations, cleaned up its interface, and developed a tool to measure ROI, it would remain competitive with HootSuite and Hubspot. Altogether, it is an effective tool for the job of scheduling and monitoring your impact on Twitter, it falls behind other competitors that offer a more robust solution.

Usability
It is powerful yet so easy to use. The social media analytics provided by this platform are easy to understand. The client's social accounts are managed easily through the client management feature without the need of waiting for the client to make you the admin to manage their page.

I think TweetDeck is very easy to use and set up. If you've used Twitter or X before, you will be able to easily understand how to use TweetDeck, as they base their UX/UI on the real platform. It has a similar look and feel, though you can do much more when logged into a single account on the platform.

TweetDeck is a great platform for using Twitter, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who continues to use the native client. Having both a web client and application means it can be used anywhere and on any computer, even if you are unable to install applications on your PC. For any news editor who needs to keep tabs on the latest news and promote your own content - TweetDeck is a must-have.

I haven't done my research in the last 2 years because I'm very content with SocialPilot. Still, I do think/hope they will start integrating more helpful tools on the platform with new AI integrations and the AI pilot they already have.

We found TweetDeck was simpler to use and easier to navigate for handling tweets than Hootsuite. While it did not have the broader ability to handle multiple social media platforms, unlike Hootsuite, its ability to give you great oversight of many Twitter/X accounts at once meant it was the ideal tool for that platform. Hootsuite, however, has deeper sophistication and opportunities for social media managers looking to handle everything in one place.

Return on Investment
  • Scheduling and posting in bulk
  • Saves time through content recycling
  • The affordable marketing solutions have promoted the business
Read full review
  • As an intern it is much easier to get through social media posting and move on to other tasks with a scheduling tool like TweetDeck.
  • Although TweetDeck helps our small staff stay very active on social media, it is not an integral part of what we do on our site. Instead, it helps the team focus on creating content by cutting down time spent managing social media accounts.
