Agorapulse vs Buffer Comparison

I love the analytics features. I love the ease of use. It’s very well designed.

You can’t upload pictures to the separate platforms like buffer. Very disappointing.

Hi there Sarah, I'm so glad you are finding our UI easy to use -- it's something we're a bit obsessed with :) I'd love to learn more about what you mean by not being able to publish images to multiple platforms. We might have a solution for you. My best, Lisa at Agorapulse

I enjoy the ease of replying to guests, forwarding to my peers when escalated, viewing old conversations, and scheduling posts.

The Social Listening isn't the easiest to view. Sometimes the posts that are scheduled can be delayed.

I'm so glad your business came over to Agorapulse, Kenzie! It sounds like our inbox has helped your teams be more efficient. Lisa at Agorapulse

The thing I like most about Agorapulse is the bulk publish option. This saves me so much time because some of our clients like to have more than one post a day. Bulk publishing gets it done in just a few minutes!

The thing I like least about Agorapulse is how when you schedule something under queued, it still doesn't show up under the scheduled tab. I wish it would. I also dislike how I can not assign on bulk publishing or post on instagram and facebook at the same time using bulk publishing.

Hi Emily, Thank you for sharing your review with us! I love to hear that you are saving time with our bulk publishing options! Also, we are working on a few updates on our publishing options that I'm sure you're going to love! Feel free to get back to us with your feedback after you test this. :-) Thanks!

There is so much I love about this software. From scheduling to cropping posts in the app to prepare for posting has been such a pleasure. I love the ability to edit copy for each platform and the ability to save my hashtag groupings. The analytics are also absolutely incredible!

There is not much I don't like, I came over from Buffer and this software has been excellent. The only cons I find are with the Instagram API which is out of your control.

Hello Stephen, Thanks so much of sharing your story of coming over from Buffer! I'm so glad you're seeing great value in our engagement, publishing, and reporting features. Here's hoping that Instagram API gets friendlier with third party tools! Lisa at Agorapulse

Our team has enjoyed using shared calendars with clients. The approval process has been easy for our team and clients. Reports are simple and beautiful, eliminating our need for additional weekly reporting tools.

We could really use a "pause all content" option or kill switch for a brand or account. Especially in 2020, this function would be helpful. The queue/category workaround is clunky. A client approval process for queues would also be beneficial. Without the ability to have clients approve that content, queues are useless to us, unfortunately.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us! I am so glad to hear that you've enjoyed working with our Shared Calendars. I've just added your vote to the suggestion to add a "pause all content" button. Again, thank you for sharing that suggestion with us!

The report is pretty detailed in showing which hashtag reaching more users and when users are most active &etc. I like the listening function, the update is on time and we can directly respond to those comments or post, greatly helps the engagement with social users.

Now it still restricts the function of scheduling video on Instagram, that's really weird. Because other apps like HootSuite, buffer, are able to help us to post the video via their platform. The report function is not available on Youtube and Google +.

Hi there Faye, Thanks so much for the kind words about our hashtag reports and social inbox! A quick note to let you know that Instagram video publishing and YouTube reports are on our product roadmap. If you upvote these features on our "Suggest a Feature" menu in the app, you'll be notified when they come out. I'm a big Instagram user so I can't wait for the video publishing feature! My best, Lisa

We are a Social Media agency with about 40 profiles that we manage. We have used Sprout Social (terrible) and Buffer (not bad but lacks everything we needed). Enter Agora Pulse. HOLY SMOKES. Everything we wanted (almost). And the customer support is over the top good. I asked a simple question about where to find a setting, and within minutes someone make a quick video (personal to us) to show us how to find it. Our onboarding process has been seamless. The set up inside Agora is very intuitive (unlike Sprout Social).

The only thing I wish they would add is the ability to see more than one account per calendar or Inbox. Right now everything is separate and you cannot combine.

Hi there, HOLY SMOKES back at you -- If I knew who you were, I'd give you a virtual hug (or high five, if you prefer). Thanks for explaining what made you come to Agorapulse after trying the major tools in the space. Keep your eyes peeled for unified features (inbox, calendar) in your app in the very near future ;) My best, Lisa
