Emplifi Inc
- Very well suited to grabbing top-level and more in-depth social performance data, across campaigns and BAU activity. - Not as well suited for moments where you need benchmarking or context of your performance compared with a previous time frame. This can be a bit clunky to go back and forth with as it requires multiple dashboards or consistent manual time-frame changes.

Publer
Publer is a great choice for in-house teams managing multiple sister brands because it combines all networks—Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, Google Business Profiles, YouTube, and Pinterest—into a single drag-and-drop calendar, removing the hassle of separate dashboards and spreadsheets. The platform’s AI-generated captions, evergreen “recycle” rules, and simple approval process keep our content running smoothly and on brand, while built-in analytics offer enough insight to optimise timing and formats without needing enterprise-level features. We haven’t faced any major restrictions; when an API change caused a hiccup, Publer’s support team fixed it within a day. Agencies that require in-depth white-label reporting or detailed short-form video metrics might need additional tools, but for a small or medium-sized enterprise seeking seamless scheduling, quick optimisation, and responsive support, Publer hits the mark.

  • Autoscheduling - I press one button, and content goes out to predetermined schedules across the various platforms
  • Spintax - putting content on autorepeat with auto-generated unique captions!
  • I work with a couple VAs, and I can have them create the content, and I'm automatically notified to approve their work before anything goes out.
  • Easy access to past content for quick reusing and repurposing
  • Feedback - I love that I can always suggest new features, and they're always working on improving!

Cons
Emplifi Inc
  • Would love more robust search parameters for labels. ex. search for tickets labeled 'Availability' AND 'United States' but excluding any that are only one of those labels
  • Ability to break conversations into multiple tickets; so labels can be more accurate if the same person reaches out again after 3 months with a totally different question
  • The social account quick view doesn't always load the follower count for people reaching out to us. it makes it slower to manager messages from high level creators

  • It would be good to see better integration of the Instagram platform, when it comes to using trending audio, getting template inspiration etc, but this may be limited by the available API.
  • Hashtag analysis and suggestion is pretty limited, and this is a feature in the higher paid accounts.

the balance between quality and price si perfectperfect for agency that have many client to manage, because it helps us to save time (we don't have to plan content from every single account, only one click to look at different community and moderate...)it also help the team works: senior can review content direcly from emplifi; labeling DM/comments as done help us to track where a collegue stop and we have to startIt makes the content approval from clients very easy

Usability
Emplifi Inc
Since the main use of the Live Advisor is on the website that doesn't have e-commerce capabilities, it has been challenging to attach an specific metric to Emplifi's solutions and their usability in our websites. The Live Advisor is helping us to deliver our unique sale proposition in digital channels, which is great, but it is difficult to assign a higher mark in usability due to the limitation just explained.

It's a great too, one of the best I've used, but there's room for improvement with small, nagging issues. I'm able to do nearly everything I want to accomplish with my social media accounts, but there are a couple of workarounds I need to implement myself to get it to do exactly what I want.

The online training was fine but, in the end, the best way to learn any product is by actually using it.

We have used Sprinklr to source UGC content as well, but found the platform to be much more time intensive when searching for the desired images. Additionally, Emplifi's UGC tool has incremental tools the other platforms do not provide, including the ability to share images on digital screens within the property and put carousels on our websites.

Later does not have the required features compared to Publer. Although later was interesting and it was a good price, it ultimately failed to win because it does not offer tagging in automated posts. Publer allows you to tag in automated posts and batch scheduled posts, even customizing for each platform.
