What is Gain?

Gain was specifically designed to automate marketing team collaboration and client approvals. Marketing teams can manage social media content as well as any other marketing asset (print ads, emails, videos, packaging design, branding assets, etc...) in one place. Gain keeps track of every comment and revision for each content item and automatically moves the content from person to person to gather client feedback and approvals. Teams no longer have to waste time with endless follow-ups, outdated versions, typos, and missed deadlines.

Key benefits of using Gain

  • Create, schedule, send to approval, and publish unlimited social posts.

  • Send to approval your print ads, videos, emails, landing pages, branding assets, presentations, storyboards, creative briefs... anything!

  • Leave comments, tag team members, assign tasks, and discuss content in context, and in real-time.

  • Create custom, automated approval workflows for all your clients, with as many rounds and as many people as you need.

  • Clients can easily share feedback and approve content from any device.

  • Manage multiple brands, clients, and content types and organize them however you want with unlimited workspaces, file folders, filters, and tags.

  • See all your content in a content calendar, drag and drop to organize or reschedule, label important dates, and more. Plus, you can share it with your clients.

  • Upload and import assets from Google Drive, Canva, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box.

  • Upload content in any format, including videos, Photoshop & Illustrator files, PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoints, Apple iWork documents, spreadsheets, vector files, and much more.

    Pros
    The team is quick with customer service. The software is solid and provides a great solution for a very affordable price.
    Moreover, I absolutely love the creative editor that helps you edit the creative for your post within the app.
    GAIN does this beautifully and is budget friendly - especially with the 50% non-profit discount.
    Cons
    The feature to leave a comment for a colleague could be a little confusing.
    No keyword filter, unable to upload mixed-format stories or multiple videos for stories.
    Right now I dont see that, the only person who does is the Content Creator. So I miss a lot of revisions.

    User friendly , easy to navigate and visually appealing

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    Time saving, more professional.

    Pros

    Visual previews of all content, ease of sharing content for approval with clients, ability to export content as a PDF after approvals, automatic scheduling to Facebook or Instagram

    Cons

    Inability to tag Facebook accounts (although this is due to a Facebook privacy change), customer service can take a while (due to us being located in Australia), posting more than one image to a post automatically shares it as an album (which we don't always want).

    Vendor response

    Hi Lena, thanks for your review. We are glad to hear that GAIN is helping your team to save time. We wanted to address the issue you faced when including multiple images in one post being shared as an album on Facebook. A couple of months ago we implemented changes to the Facebook posting to make this work in the way that you actually expect. GAIN now uses native Facebook multi-photo posts. This means multi-photo posts now use Facebook's scheduling engine (useful for boosting posts before they're published) and there's no need to create an album just for the photos in the post. If you have not tried posting multiple images since then please do, and let us know how it works for you! Thanks!

    Use Gain app to effortlessly schedule social content across multiple channels

    Reviewed a year ago
    Pros

    The Gain app is so easy to set up social media channel marketing across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn (plus other channels). We use the calendar view to easily know which posts will appear on specific channels. Posts can be scheduled and we trust they will deliver on time. One of the best features of the app is the review and approval process. We can send posts out for review and monitor changes and approvals. We work within a compliance-controlled industry and this review process is critical to our workflow.

    Cons

    The Gain app is really solid but one aspect of the app that can be improved is the ability to sort and prioritize content tags. We can search the content tags to find specific posts but it would be nice to be able to order the tags by our preference to aid in search.

    Vendor response

    Hi Curt, thanks so much for your review! We're so glad that the approval workflow and the activity tracker are working well for your work in such a highly regulated industry as banking. That's exactly what we set out to do when we designed Gain! Thanks for your suggestion to improve the content tags, our team has been discussing how to improve them so your feedback is timely. Also, we just made our roadmap public so our users can see which projects we're working on, upvote their favorites, and even suggest new features. We invite you to take a peek! You can access it from your Account menu in Gain.

    Great product but struggles to address key issues

    Reviewed 4 years ago
    Pros

    It's easy to use, lots of good tools for agencies, far better than other similar products

    Cons

    Every now and then bits of the tool break. The most recent has caused major problems for us and the clients but seem to be a low priority for the GAIN team. For example, in this case, posts are not displaying properly on LinkedIn. We get these issues aren't always in GAIN's control but would appreciate more urgency and communication around the problem.

    Approval System for multiple companies

    Reviewed 4 months ago

    Amazing system

    Pros

    We use the system for the cost effectiveness to manage 5 social media platforms and to obtain the approvals from the [SENSITIVE CONTENT] so the process is streamlined

    Cons

    All seems good our social media manager uses it all. Some larger files he finds are too big to obtain the approvals so he uses emails

    Gain is my best friend!

    Reviewed a year ago

    I love it! Gain is pretty much the most used platform. I've been using for years and it's an easy and efficent way to het things done. Also, it makes my client's approval process easier.

    Pros

    Gain has been a crucial part of running my small business. As a social media manager, it's great to have a tool that makes the approval part with the client so easy.

    Cons

    I wish that Stories had it's own option, since I need to plan them for both IG and Facebook. Also, wish the uploading of said content wasn't manual.

    Vendor response

    Hey Emily, thanks for your review! That Gain is pretty much your most used platform and that it makes your client's approval process easier is music to our ears :-) We understand how it's not ideal to have to use a workaround to manage your Facebook stories. We'd love to hear more about your workflow please feel free to contact support to schedule a meeting with our product team so we can improve your experience!
