Considered Both Products
Echobox Social
Chose Echobox Social
We decided to opt for Echobox Social as it is more suited for publishers than Sprout Social. We do not have to manually select when we would like to schedule posts. The AI-powered engine of Echobox Social not only means we are able to maximise our reach, but it also suggests …
Chose Echobox Social
Echobox Social stands out for its autonomous process of content creation and distribution, encompassing text, newsletter content, subjects, and scheduling times for both newsletter broadcasts and social media posts. Unlike other solutions we considered, such as Hootsuite or …
Chose Echobox Social
We received a recommendation for this tool (Hootsuite), but whoever gave us the information had not used it. We had difficulty understanding how it works. At the same time, in research done online, we discovered Echobox. We sent an email and were promptly responded to, …
Chose Echobox Social
To be completely honest, we've stumbled upon Echobox because some other media houses in Serbia were already using it. They were kind enough to offer us a trial and we were very satisfied with initial reactions, both from our staff and from our readers. Therefore it was a …
Chose Echobox Social
There's no comparison. The number of hours saved with automatic posting and the use of artificial intelligence to optimize schedules and select the correct audience made Echobox a very useful and valuable tool for our portal and we managed to gain a lot of time for other …
Chose Echobox Social
I was convinced by a videocall where they showed how they would improved our performances on Facebook and Instagram
Chose Echobox Social
For us, Echobox is the first tool of its kind so we can't make a comparison with other kinds of software. We have used tools like Trello and Slack, but they don't have this function and, of course, we used to use Facebook's integrated management system, but it's not comparable …
Chose Echobox Social
I'm not really comfortable comparing Echobox to other vendors I have not used. That said, Echobox's ease of use and an accessible client team drove our decision to select and stay with Echobox. We have been with them several years now and do not have any intentions of …
Chose Echobox Social
No comparison. Echobox is far more intuitive, and the integration is excellent. Although the cost is higher, the efficiency benefits so far outweigh the minor extra expense.
Chose Echobox Social
Echobox has allowed us better targeting and timing of each new published piece from our site.
Chose Echobox Social
Echobox has Artificial Intelligence to help publishers to find better ways to post at social media.
Chose Echobox Social
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 …
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.
Chose Echobox Social
In both products, you can post your different articles, but the big difference it´s that Echobox will choose the best moment to do it and in Zapier the article publish immediately.
Chose Echobox Social
We use the Echobox ranking for sharing and resharing the content at the best moment, plus we can edit the titles and the images before publishing on social networks. With Zapier, for example, we publish the content when the RSS feed was updated. Now we can reach the best …
Chose Echobox Social
Echobox can all be done on one webpage as opposed to needing multiple different tabs open, and also has a seemingly unlimited amount of users that can have an account, which is great for security as not everyone needs access to our actual social profiles. It's a lot more …
Chose Echobox Social
Sprout has far more analytic functionality but Echobox's AI analysis of our content and automation means we can trust the system to manage our posts and focus on content creation. Sprout remains a manual posting tool.
Chose Echobox Social
Dlvr.it did a very good automation job, but Echobox is tailor-made for news editors. Therefore, with Echobox we have much more control over how, when, and what we share on social media.
Chose Echobox Social
We selected Echobox as it was recommended by our international colleagues. No other similar products were considered. Prior to using Echobox, we posted directly onto each social media platform using their innate tools.
Chose Echobox Social
Hootsuite is great for influencers and other types of companies because it allows you to schedule everything in advance. The best part of Echobox is that you can connect it to your website and it will automatically crank out your own content with little difficulty in a way that …
Followerwonk
Chose Followerwonk
I really like the tool for some great insights but you also need another tool for other insights too. It is a great asset to the toolbox and not an all-rounder.
Chose Followerwonk
Hootsuite and Followerwonk are very different tools. One is great for planning posts and content, and the other is great for audience analysis.
Chose Followerwonk
Honestly, I haven't used many other services that compete specifically with Followeronk. One of the reasons for this is that the service Followerwonk offers is typically lumped into other services as additional features or buy-in options. What I like about Followerwonk is that …
Chose Followerwonk
Followerwonk and Google Analytics provide very different data and each resource gives insight into audience. GA helps with audience members who are already using our product, while Followerwonk helps us find new markets and audiences.
Chose Followerwonk
We were not looking for a solution like FollowerWonk, but it was provided free of charge with our Moz Pro subscription so we decided to give it a try. The only other similar tool we have used is the now shut down Twitalyzer. Twitalyzer was more of a tracking tool, while …
Chose Followerwonk
Followerwonk is the easiest tool to gain intelligence from and make actionable decisions based on your Twitter presence alone. While other tools can perform some of the same tasks, Followerwonk provides a suite of very effective and easy-to-use tools that allow for quick …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Followerwonk is well-suited for those who are active and at least semi-influential on Twitter. Conversely, it is also very helpful for those just starting out on Twitter as the compare users tab allows for deep comparison to competitors or to those users who you aspire to become more like me in terms of Twitter activity and influence. The many, many analyzation metrics make Followerwonk a very valuable tool for Twitter users looking to grow or just polish their presence, both businesses and individuals alike. I'd recommend Follwerwonk for those who seek to better analyze and refine their social media influence

Pros
  • 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

  • Followerwonk does a great job of providing a way to compare several Twitter users.
  • I also really like the way Followerwonk makes it so easy to analyze and compare Twitter followers.

Cons
  • 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

  • More Account viewing options on the track followers tab outside of yours and defined competitor's accounts
  • Improvements to the Bio Word Cloud of followers in the Followers tab

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!

We will keep using it as long as it remains part of our Moz Pro subscription. If it were separated and the price point did not rise astronomically, we would be very likely to continue using the platform.

Usability
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.

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

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.

Honestly, I haven't used many other services that compete specifically with Followeronk. One of the reasons for this is that the service Followerwonk offers is typically lumped into other services as additional features or buy-in options. What I like about Followerwonk is that it is easy to use, fast, and I don't have to spend hours or any additional money to get the information I need to be successful.

Return on Investment
  • 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. We have seen an increase in traffic, page views, and more digital subscriptions and email sign-ups since we started using Echobox

  • One initiative our team launched was a series of educational webinars. We have been able to add an average of six new leads per webinar because of social media. If the messages had been delivered at non-peak times, there would be less likelihood of success.
  • When it comes to social media, it's difficult to nail down specific ROI without referencing a specific campaign. However, our team has seen a consistent follower growth with increasing RT's and Favorites. I attribute this to the right content hitting the right people at the right time.
  • Our team has uncovered a number of valuable relationships with other Twitter users in our industry that have helped us increase the reach of our overall marketing message. These relationships were uncovered using Followerwonk's keyword search.
