Wildfire Interactive (Discontinued) vs. nDash

The transition to Google has been painful - key contacts are no longer available.

If you're a veteran/professional writer looking for clients who appreciate good human writing, nDash is a great platform to generate additional work. And if your business needs talented writers who are well-versed in a variety of industries, audiences, and content types, nDash likely has someone who can help. If you're just starting your freelance writing career or your business is looking for writing quantity over quality, another platform (read: content mill or AI) may be a better fit for your needs. But if you create (or value) compelling content, I highly recommend nDash!

• Facebook tab implementation. Allows you to easily create and produce functioning social tabs on your brands FB page.
• Add voting, sweepstakes, poll functionality to your website. Easily implement these campaigns to increase user engagement and TOS.

• Makes it easy to find writing clients in your niche and price range
• The interface is easy to navigate and operate
• Takes care of invoicing and payment processing for you after project completion
• Provides an intuitive opportunity pipeline to track proposals and pending projects

• More customization - Would like to have the ability to edit more without coding.

• I have been working with nDash for several years and I have never had an issue with the platform.

Our initial contract with Wildfire Whitelabel was for $30,000/year, as we progressed we found several alternatives for significantly less. We used this to our advantage to lower the second year to $17,000 with the limitation in the level of support (they call this their "core" subscription). Support has been quite bad.

During our contract, we also asked for quotes on some custom work, but never managed to get an answer (or actual quote). Now two years into our contract, the limitations and lack of development are enough for us to find a different solution. Newcomers to the market like Rafflecopter, WooBox and PunchTab are delivering much better results for a fraction of the price

Very easy to use, almost anyone can learn how to build a comprehensive promotion.

It's easy to navigate and find anything you need as a writer.

I have never been kicked out of Wildfire service. Always up and running.

Easy to perform tasks and quick to upload changes to your promotions.

Phone and email support were always available to us when we needed it.

Gave me a thorough rundown on everything the software does. Sometimes it is difficult to run through it all over the phone/internet, but I was able to figure it out myself.

Simple to use and very effective in increasing user engagement on both social channels and website. Noticeably helped raise TOS.

Wildfire was a merely an adequate social media tool when it existed as a standalone, but it just couldn't compete against other players like Sprout, Falcon, and Sprinklr.

I've explored and created profiles on several different content agencies/content sites and have found them to be lacking -- so many are a race to the bottom with writers of wildly varying skill and experience levels "competing" against veteran writing professionals. nDash is different; its clients are serious companies that value (and are willing to pay for) high-quality content. Additionally, I've observed that nDash tends to be "pickier" than other platforms when it comes to accepting writers. As a freelancer, I'm driven to "up my game" because I'm not competing against a bunch of writing newbies but a bevy of experienced writing professionals. I appreciate that they keep me on my toes

• As with any social media management tool, there is a savings on labor hours (rather than doing the manual work)
• Aggregating all content into one system creates efficiencies for content teams
