AdEspresso by Hootsuite vs. Bound

[AdEspresso is] great if you have a smaller budget or are just getting started with Facebook advertising. You can easily create ads and publish them in minutes after everything is set up for your account. I would recommended trying it if you don't have a lot of experience, but not to manage a large account with multiple clients (10+)

• It is a bit limited in features, for example can't do everything that you can do in Facebook's Business Manager
• There are certain levels, depending on budget, so you'll have to pay more to use it the higher your budget is
• Could use an update for Lead Ad creation, found it very tough and couldn't get things to synch correctly.

Incentivized

• When you set up a campaign you should be able to set up content while in the campaign.
• You should be able to set up new segments while in the campaign.

I find it a lot more detailed in creation and ad reporting, but not very user friendly or helpful if you encounter an error or something happens that needs to be fixed. AdEspresso [by Hootsuite] is better if you want an easier experience and less to look at while you're creating your ads.

It has the inability to export subject line or ISP complaints that require manual pulling by each campaign when needed. Results from variable tests are also reported only as a percentage of chosen KPI (opens, clicks, etc.). There's no ability to see hard numbers from the tests or other metrics to determine the statistical significance or unintended results (maybe opens increased per the test, but we saw clicks or conversions were lower). On the other hand, Bound performs absolutely great.

• We have seen more traffic going to revenue generating sites after using Get Smart Content. I'm not sure of the dollar amount since that's a separate department, but traffic increasing is great.
• Engagement on our internal site has increased after implementing Get Smart Content. We are getting more views, comments and likes on our content than before.
