Considered Both Products
Agorapulse
Chose Agorapulse
After testing all of these other tools, Agorapulse was our easy favorite. The interface is really intuitive and easy to understand, which was really important for us, as we wanted to hit the ground running and have the ability for various marketing team members to utilize it. …
Chose Agorapulse
Price is competitive. Social inbox is the most important aspect. we love the moderation rules.
Chose Agorapulse
We have worked with Iconsquare for a long time, and it is an excellent tool especially for Instagram. However, AgoraPulse turns out to be more complete; it greatly improves the team workflow and allows downloading the reports [that are] perfectly editable!!
Chose Agorapulse
The customer service component of Agora Pulse out does all other social listening products I have used. They are extremely efficient and respond in a timely manner. Their how to videos and articles are fantastic for training up new staff members as well.
Chose Agorapulse
We did an extensive analysis of software products and some of AgoraPulse's features tipped us.
Chose Agorapulse
The Instagram comments and hashtag monitoring is the best thing that AgoraPulse has. I can delete all the spams directly from AgoraPulse without having to open my Instagram account.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Agorapulse
Agorapulse has been a huge benefit to us as a business and is the most comprehensive platform we've used, having previously been with Hootsuite and ContentCal. It is likely to be better for companies that are managing multiple social profiles and want to consolidate these into one manageable platform. Given the amount of features it provides, it might not be suitable for individuals. The reporting is a fantastic part of the platform, which includes brand awareness for certain profiles, the best time to post for engagement, and details that all help with strategising. The inbuilt link shortening and tracking is useful, we've set this up and need to explore its capabilities further. Overall, we would recommend Agorapulse and it's a great asset to our business.

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.

Pros
Agorapulse
  • 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

Cons
Agorapulse
  • Would love to have a draft feature. We often don't schedule things until the assets are ready, or use a placeholder image and swap them afterwards
  • Editing posts intended for multiple channels is not as easy as scheduling them in the first place. I would love to edit and have the same menu I do as when I'm scheduling where I have my base text and then the adjusted text for each social media. It's rare that something I've planned to be a similar post across channels, needs editing, but only for one of those channels. e.g. Correcting mistakes or changing strategies.
  • Currently, I export the analytics and put it in a Google Sheet where I have more control over the data, which I love. For me to use the Agora Reports system, I would need substantial features like comparing metrics in the same charts, using direct line charts instead of smoothed (smoothed charts look nice, but just obfuscate data), separating out paid growth, etc. It's probably too large an ask for what Agora is trying to provide, which is why the export tool is very useful.
  • While I'm talking about it, a slight bug with the export tool is that when you export two things in quick succession, it just sends a duplicate of the first report via email. I'll export a CSV of Global data and then a CSV of Content, and if I do it too quickly, it doubles up the Global data and I don't get the Content until I resend.
  • More specific filtering for listening. Sometimes someone has our brand in their name and we get ALL of their content. We have to add each user like this to the filter instead of being able to filter out usernames that contain it.

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

Usability
Agorapulse
Any time I onboard a new team member, they are very quick to adapt to Agora's user interface and therefore require a very quick onboarding process from me, which is a massive plus. While I think having an all-in-one platform would be ideal, there is something to be said about only having a few bells and whistle so that my team can focus on what is most important to us and our clients, content

Support Rating
Agorapulse
The support from Agorapulse is excellent. Any time we have made contact they have been quick to reply, and given added extra information to help. The initial sales experience was also good. Not pushy like a lot of other companies, more that they would like to help. And they certainly did for us at a difficult time which built a fantastic relationship with us from the very start. Communication is great too, with just the right amount of emails and updates. Overall we feel that they genuinely care about their clients and users.

Want to post the same content on different profiles? Don't duplicate your posts, you can just select what platform to post them onto! You can even change around the copy/hashtags/etc to optimize the posts for each platform.
