Verified User Anonymous Chose Agorapulse SEM Rush was okay for scheduling content. It didn't have any helpful features though. I switched because every time I uploaded an image or graphic to SEM Rush, it would have a white line at the very bottom and right side of the upload. The image was flush to the artboard before … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Agorapulse Way more user friendly, easier to consult and faster to go were you need to.

Also, in comparison to Hootsuite, Agorapulse has better a community management tool, allowing labeling and easy automation which is key … Incentivized Helpful? JS Justin Shapiro Principal Chose Agorapulse Agorapulse is more affordable while offering comparable functionality. It's difficult to find competitors that provide everything Agorapulse has to offer. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Agorapulse They have pros and cons. It's generally better than Hootsuite but more expensive. We use Later too for social planning. Perhaps it'd be useful to better understand everything we can do in Agora. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Agorapulse Later is a fairly simple tool just for scheduling, while Agora handles a lot more variety of tasks and I think executes on them very well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Agorapulse We have used many different tools in the past but Agorapulse really is the best in terms of unifying all of our platforms in one place. It saves us time on a daily basis and means we can limit how many programmes we use. Why use five when one will do! Incentivized Helpful? Kelby Mcnab Founder Chose Agorapulse Agorapulse has YouTube, while many other platforms do not. It's user-friendly for agencies managing multiple clients. Statusbrew doesn't have a cap on the size of videos/pictures you can upload, which is nice, but it's also four times more expensive. Hootsuite has too many … Incentivized Helpful? Genevieve Leveille Principal Founder and CEO Chose Agorapulse The reporting in Agorapulse and the ability to approve was one of the reasons for choosing Agorapulse. The cost basis was lower when we added all the features versus the free version of Hootsuite. Another aspect was the UX/UI which was much more pleasant[.] Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Agorapulse Agorapulse offers more customized features for our needs at an affordable price. Incentivized Helpful? Dylan Schoenbaum Director of Social Media Chose Agorapulse Agorapulse falls in the upper to middle levels of the other platforms listed.

Angelica Celinska EYE Editor Chose Echobox Social Later.com is used for Instagram in terms of links in bio. I have heard that Instagram on Echobox does not work so well for our company so we have not added this feature to our Echobox account. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Agorapulse	Echobox Social
Likelihood to Recommend	I think Agora is great for small teams looking to schedule posts and respond to users. I haven't used it at scale, so I can't recommend it for larger companies, but I love it for what we do. If you're savvy with Google Sheets, then the Agora exports are really handy. If you don't need specific data or the ability to compare metrics, and just want a surface-level look at your social performance, the analytics tools are nice. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Echobox Social is well suited to publishers and media organisations who are publishing daily online content that needs sharing across social platforms. It works best if your social media objective is driving traffic to your articles/website. It would be suitable for both small and large organisations, as it allows multiple users with different access. Incentivized LC Laura Colledge Head of Marketing Read full review
Pros	Calendar sharing - great for internal and external approval Community management - it means we can keep on top of engagement for all of our clients in one place Report - it's really useful for us to be able to create such in depth reports that we can use internally but also share with clients so they can see the results of what we are doing Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Organizes our social media posts across both Facebook and Twitter Easy scheduling of posts, with AI driving the scheduling of optimal times for each story AI ferrets out best-performing posts and schedules them during the weekend and other downtimes when we are not actively engaging our readers Jon Entine Founder and Executive Director Read full review
Cons	Reporting not available for personal accounts Adding TikTok Ability to tag personal accounts in LinkedIn and FaceBook When copying from one platform to another, one has to go and redo the tags or they will not come up properly. If the the @ is the same in the two platforms, it should take that into consideration and not ask to re-enter. Incentivized Genevieve Leveille Principal Founder and CEO Read full review	Since I'm Brazilian, and our whole team is based in Brazil, would be great if the whole platform was translated for Portuguese. There are no many English speakers in Brazil, to be honest. That would make it easier Tik Tok. Would be nice if somehow Echobox could provide their AI for Tik Tok Users DR Diego Ribas Araujo Editor Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	The decision has been made. It's time to get to work--no steps back. I feel confident this product is well suited to help me make progress. I want to get down business and utilize the functionality of this product to meet my marketing goals. I feel very comfortable with the choice I have made. Incentivized Richard Burgner Proprietor Read full review	Because I am totally satisfied with Echobox service. I find it balanced between the service itself and its cost. Compared to its competitors, it is, without a doubt, the best product for small publishers. It only lacks in a greater and more efficient management of statistics which, at the moment, is absent. I will definitely renew Echobox! gaetano di meglio Account Director Read full review
Usability	The user interface is fantastic. Clear and easy to use. The layout and navigation is very well thought out enabling us to work quicker, and smarter. Moving around Agorapulse becomes second nature very quickly, which makes day to day workflows so much easier. The features included are comprehensive, especially the reporting. And having everything in one place for messaging and monitoring is a real help Incentivized Paul Gully Director Read full review	Echobox Social's user interface is straightforward to navigate and even members of our team who are not necessarily social media specialists can step in when needed. The schedule queue is very easy to understand, meaning different team members can see what content is scheduled to be posted. When trying to edit the automation settings, each feature is well explained if you hover over the question mark button. TC Thomas Cserep Associate Editor, Audience Engagement Read full review
Reliability and Availability	Agorapulse occasionally has outages or shuts down. It never interferes with my use of the application or any of my posts Incentivized AW Ali Walton Digital Marketing Specialist Read full review	No answers on this topic
Performance	Agorapulse has generally had great performance. Occasionally I have issues with my videos being posted on Instagram. I still am not sure why. the format of the videos is the same as the videos that are going through. Incentivized AW Ali Walton Digital Marketing Specialist Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Absolutely amazing customer service. Some of it seems very automated and feels like you are not talking to a person. It would be better if it was just a normal email platform that it was coming from. But overall super great customer service and the company is always willing to walk new members through the use of Agorapulse which is awesome. Incentivized CZ Carolyn Zonts Marketing Coordinator Read full review	When there have been problems, they’ve usually been resolved very quickly. Some issues have occurred such as not being able to download images or posts not going out when the service has crashed, but they’re also very open to feedback. The option to download pictures loaded into the feed stories was my suggestion; saving us time creating new images and getting the posts out quickly Incentivized Ross Perkins Sport social media manager - The Sun Read full review
In-Person Training	I did not train in person Incentivized AW Ali Walton Digital Marketing Specialist Read full review	No answers on this topic
Online Training	The staff walked me through the whole platform and asked me if I had any questions. They were very helpful in answering any questions I had. Incentivized AW Ali Walton Digital Marketing Specialist Read full review	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	Be sure of the game play mechanics you need to achieve your objectives, it will help significantly in setting up the game and creating the assets Marianne Ho Head of Marketing Read full review	You just have to keep in mind that it can take a day or two to have the set up of an account all done. FP François Pottier CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review
Alternatives Considered	I think Agorapulse is by far the most comprehensive platform and user-friendly. In my experience, the support on hand is responsive and easy to speak with through the online chat. Hootsuite, Adobe Express, and Buffer seemed limited in what they offer in comparison, particularly Adobe Express and Buffer. Both these platforms were clunkier for us to use and didn't offer as much in terms of listening and reporting. We used Hootsuite a few years ago and moved away from it before we developed our strategy, planning and reporting for social, so it might have the same capabilities as Agorapulse but the support and usability do not match. Incentivized Lily Waring Marketing Executive Read full review	Echobox AI function (the ability to decide when is the best time to share a post) is a [game-changer] and also the UI is cleaner and easier to use. I found Hootsuite confusing and complicated. It has too many windows and also doesn't pull the articles automatically. There is no comparison really, Echobox is miles ahead. Nuria Leon Bernardo Director of Social Media Read full review
Scalability	I'm not sure I understand what is meant by scalability. Incentivized AW Ali Walton Digital Marketing Specialist Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Agorapulse has been able to be the leading platform for us to maintain and grow our client base Clients tend to be frustrated with Agorapulse and often have trouble viewing the content leading us to consider other alternatives which would affect our ROI. Agorapulse does however, push us to utilize all its features, increase strategy, and in doing so, offer additional competitive packages. Incentivized Dylan Schoenbaum Director of Social Media Read full review	Positive impact: time-saving. We have saved on staff costs and other staff are able to focus on more skilled tasks than manual scheduling Positive impact: improved output.
