Senior Digital Marketing Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sprout Social" October 29, 2025 4.0 Overall positive. It was a strong tool that did what we needed for a medium size business. Fairly cost effective too. Pros Easy to use, simple interface and reliable social publishing. Also has a social advocacy bolt on which is useful for getting employees to share content. Cons Reporting felt quite limited, customer success managers and account management was also not great. Sometimes we felt like an inconvenience. Review Source LD Laura D. Client Success Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SproutSocial for Your Social Media Engagement Reports" April 4, 2025 4.0 Overall, SproutSocial provides a basic overview of your social media post engagements and is useful for determining which posts performed better than others. Pros SproutSocial is a great social media scheduling and engagement report tool and can be used by all types of businesses, companies, and agencies looking to streamline their digital posting and social analytics.

Pros Their listening functionality allows users to track the conversations around campaigns.

Mobile Marketing Lead Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It provides perfect management of posts and interactions, creates detailed analytics" December 31, 2024 5.0 Pros I love that Sprout Social allows us to keep track of our social media pages’ performance. It’s great that Sprout Social simplifies managing all our accounts from the same page, as we can easily allocate space to collect all interactions from a specific page under its own section. Scheduling posts is very easy, as is rescheduling or canceling posts. Cons In the case of individual subscriptions, logging into the same account from multiple devices becomes difficult, and may require a new verification or password change.

We're so glad to hear that Sprout helps you manage all your posts and interactions, and it's great that you've been able to simplify your workflows as well.

The calendar view is super clean, and the reports save a lot of time when I need to show how things are going. Cons The price is kind of high compared to some other tools that do similar stuff, so you kinda have to be sure you're gonna use all the features to make it worth it.

I used it while at a big company, but not afterwards. Also, there were always issues with tagging users on LinkedIn Review Source Response from Sprout Social April 17, 2025 Thank you so much for your review!

It's been one of the best social SAAS services I've used. Pros The reports and UI are what I like the most. Cons We were priced out of the service. We like it but can't afford it. Alternatives considered [Sprout](https://www.capterra.com/p/149254/Sprout-HR-Payroll/)[SOCi](https://www.capterra.com/p/173850/SOCi/)[Sprinkle](https://www.capterra.com/p/208499/Sprinkle/) Reason for choosing Sprout Social It wasn't a final choice, we've been testing several services.

I love having all platforms connected in one place, making scheduling and posting much easier. I’d like to learn more about all the features Sprout offers so I can take full advantage of its capabilities. Pros Sprout Social has been an excellent all-in-one tool for managing social media. Having all my accounts from every platform connected in one place makes it easy to schedule and manage content seamlessly. Cons The only drawback is that the analytics can be a bit confusing at times and don’t always align with Meta’s analytics. Review Source Mikey B. Talent Acquisition Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy marketing engagement" May 24, 2025 5.0 Pros Super easy to use - our marketing team is able to publish quality content into Sprout, and I can easily spread it to my network with the click of a button - super cool way to generate engagement. Cons Could benefit through some form of variety with the posts that go out - posts seem to only have one caption possible, so unless everyone customizes (they won't) it creates a LOT of the same exact posts. Review Source Response from Sprout Social May 27, 2025 Hi Mikey - thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate your feedback and will share your thoughts about the post variety with our team. BM Bill M. CEO Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Expensive, Poor Usability, Questionable ROI, and Terrible Customer Service" October 11, 2024 1.0 Unfortunately, we ended up regretting our decision to use Sprout Social. It's very expensive. It has poor usability. Advertised features are often behind paywalls. It delivered questionable ROI (our team often preferred working natively in Meta Business Suite). What really put the nail in the coffin for us was the poor customer service. We missed our automatic annual renewal date by a few weeks, and despite wanting to cancel, they insisted we'd have to pay for the full year, whether we used their software or not. To us, that says everything about the company. If you need to trap people into your product, it must not be that good. Buyer beware. There seem to be superior alternatives, that cost less, and are more customer friendly. Pros It has an extensive list of features and integration with all the major social media platforms. Cons It's very expensive, has poor usability, hides advertised features behind paywalls, delivers questionable ROI, and provides terrible customer service.

Pros The scheduling tools are very easy to use in the publishing area and the ability to use Groups is a nice touch. Cons Very expensive with other products on the market. Switched from [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Sprout offered more features and a better UX following initial research. Review Source AF Allie F. Social Media Associate Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great data" January 16, 2025 5.0 Easy to use and helpful analytics for data meetings. Pros I like the incredible statistics and data given for each platform. Cons It is very expensive and I feel like the data is the only difference between sprout and others.

There is a lot of versatility for posting and engagement Cons This tool is very expensive, and can be hard to justify for smaller businesses Review Source Response from Sprout Social January 23, 2025 Thank you for your review!

Pros Sprout Social is one of the best products for social media management and reporting because they have strong relationships with social media platforms. I've worked with other products in the past that constantly had disruptions due to the platform APIs. Cons I wish they had access to more data (e.g. Instagram Reels, organic-only performance) , but it's an API limitation. Review Source JW Joe W.

Detailer Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great…but…" July 9, 2024 3.0 It’s a great product. I love the features but the price is just an undeniable flaw with the whole thing. Pros Sprout Social's reporting and analytics are great, they have in-depth insights that help refine my social media strategy. The detailed reports are incredibly useful as well. Customer support is another area where it excels. Their team is responsive and knowledgeable, always ready to assist with any issues or questions. Cons The price. It absolutely creates a barrier for smaller businesses in the ”money saving to scale” eras of their business. (Where I currently am) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Social Media, Influencer & Community Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Premium Social Media Management Tool - Worth The Money (If You Can Afford It)" July 31, 2023 4.0 Pros Their strength, by far, is the Smart Inbox, which is unparalleled and a time and life-saver for in-house marketers or agencies managing a large volume of social media accounts, or with huge volumes of inbound customer service inquiries. The suite of reports is second-to-none, with an extensive range of options across all of the major social media networks. Cons Sprout Social is hideously expensive. Seriously. However, if you can afford it, Sprout is one of the best all-around tools on the market. Their social listening, while "good", is a costly add-on and is limited compared to other providers like Brandwatch.

Digital Strategy Marketing Manager Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent platform for scheduling posts on social media." August 15, 2023 4.0 Sprout Social has effectively facilitated the optimization of our publication workflows and the efficient management of follower engagements across many social media platforms, owing to its comprehensive array of features and tools. Pros I appreciate that the publication process varies depending on the platform, allowing me to better gauge whether or not an image is the wrong size or whether or not I am releasing at the best time of day. It's also great that I don't have to do any extra work to get the reports I pull ready to give to my team members. The Smart Inbox is fantastic since it saves me the trouble of signing into different services just to respond to comments and messages. Cons One thing i don't like about Sprout is that I have to create posts twice if I want them to look different on different platforms. I wish there was a dedicated space on the create screen where I could rework the text specifically for Twitter, condensing it while leaving the rest of the message intact.

Pros La aplicaión funciona muy bien, se pueden gestionar ahí mismo las redes, checar que están haciendo tus competidores y realizar reportes sobre el desempeño. Todo con una interfaz fácil de usar. Cons Es una gran herramienta, pero a mi me parece que el costo es muy alto. Para un negocio pequeño como el mio o una sola persona, resulta muy caro. Puede funcionar para negocios grandes o agencias.
