Social Animal is a powerful content research tool that boosts insights and trend tracking, but it can feel complex and less polished than bigger competitors.

Pros

Social Animal helps uncover trending content, influencers and competitor insights, with strong content research and daily alerts for key topics.

Cons

There’s a learning curve and some filters and UI feel a bit clunky, plus results may be limited in niche topics or languages.

Overall, Social Animal, is great for content creators who really want help with the 'behind the scenes" work. They do all the advertising so you don't have to.

Pros

What I like most about Social Animal is it's ability to target the right audience.

Cons

What I like least is sometimes the categorizing is difficult to figure out.

It has been a great experience using Social Animal and has done everything I needed it to do. If you can't afford to pay for Buzzsumo, you should try out Social Animal and see if it works for you.

Pros

Social Animal has a ton of features available on a clean and simple layout. I also get daily email alerts from keywords I want to follow.

Cons

Although you can search and follow any keyword on the platform, it doesn't always give you the best search results. There are some niche topics that might get limited coverage compared to more popular topics.

Although I am a new user, I am pleased so far at the content offered to me. Whether you just want to stay on top of latest trends to boost your popularity on your personal social media page or you need some help marketing in the competitive world of social media platforms; Social Monkey has what you need!

Pros

I recently heard about this site and I was very curious about how it could enhance my online affiliate business. If you are familiar with affiliate marketing you will understand that it can be very profitable but there is a lot of competition out there. Most affiliate marketers (myself included) are very aware of the power of social media in marketing. Social Animal is unique as a marketing tool because it feeds you all the important information in one place such as what is trending on social media. Staying current on trends is the lifeline of social media popularity. I can find what is hot at the moment and blog about it or make surveys. There is endless opportunities to create a fresh and current feel to my business social media group. In addition when you give the site your selected keywords it will use them to find topics specifically related to your group's interests. For example if I want to know what makeup brand to select to try to make commission off as an affiliate, I can use Social Monkey to find influencers who are popular at the moment who might be doing tutorials on a certain brand. I can incorporate this influencer's video or social media link in an ad for the makeup. The site has everything from hot trends in tech to social issues, food trends and more.

Cons

So Far I have not found anything unsatisfactory with this site. It is user friendly and delivers what it promises.

Content generation. It provides me a limitless supply of ideas.

Pros

Gives me a limitless supply of topics to add to blogs. If hitting a content roadblock, it allows me to see what works with competitors. Also, helpful in connecting with influencers.

Cons

Still figuring it out. I think the tutorials and instructions could be a little more user friendly. Other than that, I might be able to learn more as I use SA.

I have nothing to complain about. Got the deal on appsumo for almost nothing compared to the value it provides. The support is excellent and responds very quickly.

Pros

I did not know what to expect when I first logged in. Was met by an intuitive interface and decided to read the documentation to prepare for teaching my employees the platform. I quickly realized that the tool was incredibly simple to use yet deep in functional complexity. I could scrap 3 other SaaS and only use this true swiss army knife of social marketing and research. Our favorite part is the social research function where we gather relevant information, posts and trends from our niche effortlessly.

Cons

It was not as easy as I thought to teach my employees to use it due to the nature of the platform. Expected a simple social media manager with some bling bling functions and got a real powerhouse of a trend and market research tool. Our copywriter loves it to gather ideas and keep it with the latest.

Reasons for choosing Social Animal

It was very cheap and looked fresh so I took a chance and I'm very happy I did. One of my best buys of the year.

Social Animal helps me keep my finger on the pulse of our social media mentions.

Pros

When it finds good results for your search it can give you great competitor or influencer information. The automated mention emails are very useful and probably the best part of the app. If that's all you're looking for, Social Animal is a good option.

Cons

Unfortunately, a lot of my searches still come up empty. I'm sure this will improve over time, though.

Social Animal is a great tool for getting ideas on content, finding influencers, and tracking mentions of your brand, your industry, and competitors.

Pros

I initially started using this software because I wanted to track all mentions of my brand on social media, as well as mentions of topics related to my product and industry. Social Animal has been great for that. But, it also has so much more that we don't take advantage of. It gives ideas on content, influencers to connect with, and so much more.

Cons

No complaints. I guess, if I had to be picky, I think there might be some mentions of our industry, competitors, or ourselves that don't get picked up, so it's not 100% effective at that aspect.

I love it and I'm getting a lot out of it. I'm excited to search for key topics and influencers, and find a lot of relevant content. Above all, I love that the application sends me notifications with the topics or keywords that I have left monitoring.

Pros

I love how easy it is to use and how comprehensive the information it presents is. It has allowed me to find fresh themes for my work, and create better targeted content. I am very happy to have purchased the application.

Cons

Unfortunately for Spanish-speaking users it does not seem to be able to find results as relevant as when searching in English. At least that's how it seemed to me when I did searches in Spanish.

Reasons for choosing Social Animal

The social animal proposal seemed interesting to me. I had never worked with an application of this type, and I thought it would be great to help me optimize my time finding and generating material or ideas for my videos, sites and blogs.
