Commun.it vs. Iconosquare

For a small business or individual Commun.it could be used to quickly and efficiently grow an audience. Using the featured hashtag functionality in particular means that, instead of wading through various searches on Twitter, all the information is at your finger-tips and you can act on it accordingly. I think it would have benefits for businesses of multiple sizes however a smaller business might find the price-point prohibitive.

A good match for someone looking into Iconosquare would be a social media manager looking to streamline their analytics process. It is for someone who may be pulling these numbers manually and wants a centralized location to pull numbers across platforms. Iconosquare also allows you to schedule your content, which provides another one-stop shop. Where it would be less suited is someone who may not use more than one social platform.

• Be prepared, you'll receive a lot of emails from commun.it. They keep you engaged by reminding you to return to your dashboard. But they also will send several emails trying to get you to upgrade.
• "Thanks for the retweet" and "Thanks to the high-value members" aren't tactics I like to use on Twitter.
• On the free version, you are only allowed 20 actions a day. This goes by in a flash, would love to have a few more.

• Manipulating data can be difficult.
• Paid and organic posts couldn't be separated.
• Tracking story posts you wanted to group is messy.

We never had a problem with customer support, nor really needed it. The UX of the site was easy to follow and simple to use.

Tweepsmap's audience and engagement tools aren't as powerful as Commun.it's, but they're far more trustworthy. I also like their tool for detecting inactive users (followed accounts who haven't tweeted in 2 or 6 months). I would actually consider shelling out for their paid tools, which sound quite useful (for instance, location-based statistics).
