Quick Notes

  • Beautiful interface, very smooth and easy to operate.
  • Great messaging features.
  • RSS reader a bit sluggish, unfortunately.
  • Good tools for discovering and connecting with influencers.
  • Auto-scheduling is a let-down compared to Buffer and Hootsuite. Sprout wants $99/month/user before smart auto-scheduling becomes available. With Buffer, you get it for free (tweroid connection) and with Hootsuite you get from a 10th of the price.
  • Amazing stats and demographic insights (including Google Analytics integration)
Bottom line: fantastic user interface, beautiful and very detailed stats, great tools for team collaboration and tools for finding and engaging influencers make Sprout Social a very cool tool indeed. Get a free trial of this tool here!
