### "Gain is Awesome"

February 24, 2022

5.0

Gain saves me time, effort and expense.

Pros

Gain is easy to use to schedule online marketing across platforms. It is easy to upload images, add video, duplicate posts. I LOVE that it is so easy to just drag and drop posts to new dates, and easily change the time (this is a pain in most other programs I've tried!)

Cons

I can't think of a thing. They are always innovating and it always is a great idea!

### "What a Great APP"

October 9, 2018

5.0

My time is mine again to do with what I like. Whether it be a vacation or just a day, I can schedule my work to be posted, and trust that Gain will do the job right.

Pros

The Gain App has allowed me to take my life back, by letting me schedule my posts as far ahead as I like and post for me. The customer service is second to none. I wish all companies took such care with their clients. When I told the customer care person I was speaking to that Gain was allowing me to take my first real vacation since opening my business 6 years ago, there was a bon voyage email when I was leaving and a welcome home email when I came back.... my family didn't even bother to that degree! A fabulous platform easy to use and great customer care.

Cons

It did not allow for posting to Google+ but apparently that is coming soon.

### "Great for what it does"

May 17, 2019

5.0

I have had amazing customer service with this company and will definitely continue to use them… I am happy that they changed up their pay scale recently, however I wish that it were not per user but her account. Very often clients have several approvers they want on the list… So that ups my tier very quickly. I love the platform and ease-of-use and the ability to have clients easily approved content, but for the cost I really would like there to be other features, such as analytics and reporting.

Pros

I absolutely love that I can create a content calendar that clients can see and approve with ease.

Cons

I don’t love that there are no analytics available and that the fee scale is per user. Some clients have several approves and that will quickly bump me to the next tier... which wouldn’t be a huge deal if there were analytics and reports available.

### "Highly Recommend for All Businesses and Marketing Teams"

October 9, 2018

5.0

Social media calendars have become much easier. They're actually fun to create again! I've transferred jobs twice and made sure GAIN was one of the first softwares we included in our marketing plan. I've told dozens of people about GAIN and if there was a Representative Referral Program or something, consider me the first to sign up! I love GAIN and wouldn't trade it for anything. I know they will continue to better the software and increase available features! Customer service is always on point and I truly admire that. Go Gain!

Pros

I LOVE the drag and drop feature on the calendar view.

Cons

The size minimum for photos and some link previews don't load when live on social channels. But I don't think the latter is necessarily a GAIN problem.

### "Gain Scheduling"

October 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

I really like the ease of scheduling posts and being able to duplicate them across various channels in gain. Moreover, I absolutely love the creative editor that helps you edit the creative for your post within the app.

Cons

Nothing in particular. I think it would be great to have mobile app to schedule and create posts.

### "Gain Review"

October 12, 2018

4.0

Overall, great experience. Very valuable and saves us time.

Pros

I love the relay approval process and the fact the customers don't have to login to approve content. Very efficient.

Cons

There are some glitches in how Gain posts certain things - double posting, not posting, etc. Also, I wish there was more analytics reporting.

### "Keeps our team and workflow streamlined!"

May 10, 2018

5.0

Streamlined work flow, internal organization, ease of content review with clients.

Pros

The ease of client approvals and content feedback. Quick and easy to copy posts from one channel to the next.

Cons

Inability to auto publish Instagrams. Also seems to be a lot of buttons to click which elongates the content creation process.

### "Unbeatable approval flows!"

May 9, 2018

5.0

Much easier organization of content approval flows, one master calendar for planning all content.

Pros

Excellent for managing the approval status of all types of content, and bouncing content back and forth between client and agency.

Cons

I think certain parts of the UI can still be easier to use, and there could be more bulk editing functionalities. It would also be killer to have Instagram auto posting built in, or more robust comments on content between the team.

### "Great Tool for Social Scheduling and Affordable!"

May 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

The approval templates are why I signed up for the service. I also love the calendar view and ability to sort by platform.

Cons

Would love to see integrated performance reporting so it's more of an all-in-one solution. I'd also like to be able to schedule the same post for multiple days in the future (like for twitter)

### "Great customer service, mostly intuitive, missing a few essential features"

May 11, 2018

4.0

Organization

Pros

I like how easy it is to see the whole content calendar at one time. When you're working on scheduling content for a client, its much easier to schedule content based on an entire month or quarter, and Gain helps to keep all of that organized

Cons

Gain is still missing some features that are missing... There is no way to save instagram stories templates, or post templates in general - Have to use Canva or ilustrator for those. Also, I would love to see a 3 image wide grid mock up so that I can see the preview of the order of instagram images next to one another before posting (I have to use UNUM or Planoly instead)

### "Finally, a full-featured social media management software that doesn't break the bank"

August 16, 2017

5.0

The intuitive ease of use means that this part of the business will be scalable. Ultimately this results in real business growth in terms of profits.

Pros

The ability to schedule post to Instagram with a couple of clicks, the calendar view for all the posts including the ability to copy across platforms. Simply the easiest, most intuitive software around for social media managers

Cons

Cannot post to Linkedin personal profiles. Unless you're a big corporation that needs to post to a business profile, the personal profile is still where the connections really happen.

### "Gain Review"

October 29, 2019

4.0

Pros

What I liked about Gain was that it was a great tool to use to organize posts. I started off using basic excel sheets to organize my month, and then we jumped to using Gain which completely helped in managing our social media accounts. The system is extremely user friendly and not difficult to understand.

Cons

There is a few limitations as to everything you can do with Gain, wishing there would be more functionalities to help improve the overall job of managing social media.

Approval processes.

Pros

Most of the cons come from Facebook's API issues.

### "Easy to use, quality data. Satisfied."

August 8, 2017

5.0

Easy to use, quality data. Satisfied.

Pros

It's easy to use and contains the info that's needed, as well as the directions on each section for the person gathering data.

Cons

I'm not an admin, and therefore don't know about the customer support nor the value of the software. As a user, it works well for me.
