How we grade them
| 2.2GPASendibleFair | 2.6GPAZoho SocialGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CCore is $29.75 a month billed yearly for 6 profiles with unlimited users, so two or three people pay the same $29.75. That's right at this category's $29 middle: good going for a team, but still the middle. | CPremium is $40 a month billed yearly for one brand with 3 team members, the inbox and approvals; Professional plus a $10 member comes to the same $40. That's between this category's $29 middle and $58 dearer quarter. One person on Standard pays $10. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with no card needed. Long enough to set up a workspace and run a couple of weeks of posts. | CThe free plan covers 1 brand of 6 channels but only posts straight away, with no scheduling or calendar. There's also a 15-day trial with no card, and that's what earns the C. |
| Features | CA calendar, an inbox that takes Instagram DMs and Facebook ad comments, reports, evergreen recycling, and approvals from Plus. The gap its listing names: Pinterest isn't among its supported networks. | BA calendar and queues for 14 networks, monitoring, an inbox with assignment rules, custom reports, approvals, and leads and tickets sent to Zoho CRM and Desk. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job; most of it sits on Premium. |
| Ease of use | CThere's no App Store rating on record for us to go by, and you'll set up workspaces and connect each profile first. So it gets the ordinary grade. | B4.7 from 700 App Store ratings, which clears the bar for a B. An A needs 1,000 ratings or more behind it. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and a Chrome extension, with Canva, Google Drive, Dropbox, Google Analytics and WordPress. No phone app is listed on its pricing page, and no desktop app. | BWeb, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, with Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, Canva and Bitly. No desktop app, which an A needs, and the list of outside integrations is short. |
| Best for | agencies with lots of users and clients | Zoho users posting to many networks |
