MeetEdgar vs. Pagemodo vs. SmarterQueue

• Edgar works best if you already have enough (or plan on keep adding more) evergreen content to avoid too much repetition. This will of course be dependent on the frequency of your schedule as well as how refined your categories are.
• Edgar works for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn currently, and it doesn't seem like they will be adding more networks in the near future.

If you don't have a lot of time or expertise in custom tab creation, Pagemodo offers a quick and easy solution. Custom templates are great to manipulate to meet your individual needs.

It's a great platform that can easily schedule posts, and create evergreen posting by creating queues with different categories of posts. SmarterQueue allows you to create a range of content categories (tips, updates, quotes, images, videos, promotions, stories, case studies, etc) and choose where to post the various categories of content so you don't blast all your channels with the same content (have content specific channels). The interface is very clean, easy to use, and simple to navigate through, and has an AI assistant to help you create content and content variations. What I like the most creating an evergreen queue to which I can simply keep adding new content to and the posting is taken of.

• The reporting is very limited. There's no dashboards or easy way to track how your posts are performing.
• Honestly, that's the only recommendation I have—everything else works great!

• The types of user engagement activities you can perform with Pagemodo are very limited. It seems to be specifically designed for either contests/giveaways/special promotions/discount codes you'd like to share with your customers. So if I wanted to host a poll for my Facebook fans, I wouldn't be able to do so through Pagemodo.
• Pagemodo doesn't accommodate the various types of social media channels. It's specifically designed for Facebook and can really only be used through that. If your goal isn't to attract new Facebook followers or engage the followers you already have, then Pagemodo isn't for you.
• Although it's nice that Pagemodo already has pre-made templates, it somewhat limits your ability to customize your forms or tabs.

• AI-content generation can be improved
• Sometimes slow to load up queue and unresponsive
• Have more flexible plan to choose exactly the number of channels we want and only pay for what we use

It's free for a limited version, but the amount of email they send can be overwhelming.

In terms of evergreen content promotion, Buffer and AgoraPulse offer very basic functionalities in this regard. We were looking for something that would enable us to categorize our evergreen content and Edgar is the only product on the market then that does this. We no longer need to manually re-post anything and only need to focus on content-creation. It is worth noting that we are still using Buffer in conjunction with MeetEdgar, where the former takes care of our new content while the latter will continually share the best content of the bunch.

SmarterQueue is more comprehensive, has more features for cheaper subscriptions, and more flexible price plans to suit your business needs, whether you want to scale down or scale up. The user-friendly interface enabled a very quick learning curve for myself and for my virtual assistant. Better UI design and layout, clean, simple, intuitive to use and navigate through, and does the job well.

• Measures engagement on your posts so that you know what content is the most effective
• Helps me track my measurement goals through reporting.
