The Community Manager

Weighted verdict

Answers the comments, including the angry ones, and lives in the inbox. Wants every mention and message in one queue with ownership and history, saved replies that save real time, and a failed 3am post that tells her rather than silently not existing.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Publishing & calendar

How this is scored

Scheduling across networks: per-network formatting, the calendar as a working surface, bulk operations, and what happens when a post fails.

0 — No publishing or scheduling; the product is a listening, analytics or inbox tool only.

3 — Posts scheduled to several networks from one composer, with a list or calendar of what is planned.

5 — A content calendar with scheduling across the main networks, per-network text and media variants, drafts, and post previews.

8 — Bulk upload or CSV import, queue or evergreen scheduling, best-time suggestions, link shortening with UTM tags, stories, reels or shorts where the API allows, and failure notifications with a retry.

10 — Publishing is dependable at volume: hundreds of scheduled items across many accounts without collision, best-time recommendations from the account's own history, and every failure surfaced with the platform error and a one-click recovery.

Report an error

The Community Manager

Seven networks including Pinterest are covered from one calendar with previews, drafts, every Instagram format, Bitly shortening with UTM tags, and best-time recommendations drawn from the account's own previous performance. What decides me against the top bands: I found no public information on what happens when a post fails — no notification or retry is described — and none on bulk upload or queue scheduling. 3 4

Engagement & community inbox

How this is scored

Comments, mentions and messages in one queue — the half of the job that is customer service wearing a marketing badge.

0 — No engagement features; comments and messages are handled only in each network's own app.

3 — Comments and mentions from connected networks shown in the tool, with replies sent from it.

5 — A unified inbox for comments and direct messages across the main networks, with replies, assignment to team members, and a read or done status.

8 — Saved replies, internal notes, SLA or response-time tracking, sentiment or priority flags, spam and hidden-comment handling, conversation history per person, and escalation to a helpdesk.

10 — The inbox is a service desk: every public and private interaction in one queue with ownership and response-time reporting, moderation rules that act automatically, and a per-person history spanning networks.

Report an error

The Community Manager

This is a real webcare desk: one inbox for comments and messages across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Google My Business, WhatsApp Business, live chat and reviews, with automatic case assignment, answer templates, internal notes, sentiment at a glance, complete conversation history, deadline tracking of first replies and completed cases, and a Salesforce Service Cloud route for escalations. I found no public information on spam or hidden-comment handling or moderation rules that act automatically, which is what holds it back from the top. 5 7

Analytics & reporting

How this is scored

Measurement across networks with different metrics and retention windows, plus the reporting an agency hands a client.

0 — No analytics at all; performance is read in each network's own app.

3 — Post and profile metrics (reach, engagement, followers) per connected network.

5 — Analytics across the connected networks in one view, reports exportable or scheduled as PDF or CSV, and post performance compared over a chosen period.

8 — Custom dashboards, white-label client reporting, competitor benchmarking, paid and organic combined where the API allows, UTM-based attribution into web analytics, metrics stored beyond the networks' own retention, and audience demographics over time.

10 — Reporting answers what worked and why: metrics normalised across networks with the differences documented rather than hidden, full historical retention independent of platform windows, and exports an agency can hand over unedited.

Report an error

The Community Manager

One dashboard compares channels and paid, owned and earned media — Meta ads against organic — with custom reports and dashboards, hundreds of widgets, brand-styled reports, scheduled sharing, one-click exports, and a GA4 connection tying website traffic and conversions back to social, including post-level conversion comparison. Listening content retention is configurable up to five years but Facebook and Instagram messages are limited to one year by the vendor's own statement, and I found no public information on audience demographics over time. 6 7 2

Approvals, roles & brand safety

How this is scored

How a team of several people and an agency publish to a brand account without an accident — and who can be shown to have approved what.

0 — Single-user product; no team access at all.

3 — Several team members on one account with an admin and a member role.

5 — Team members with roles or permissions per social account, an approval step before posts go out, and comments or notes on drafts.

8 — Client or brand workspaces with strict separation, configurable multi-step approval chains including legal review, content locking after approval, and an audit trail of who changed and published what.

10 — Governance a regulated brand could pass an audit on: complete audit trail of edits, approvals and publications, enforced approval before anything reaches a network, granular permissions per account and action, and no shared credentials anywhere in the design.

Report an error

The Community Manager

There is a post approval workflow described as a four-eyes process, feedback and internal notes on drafts, and secure access through single sign-on and two-factor authentication. But I found no public information on roles or permissions per social account, client or brand workspaces with strict separation, content locking after approval, or an audit trail of who changed and published what. 3 4 1

Report an error

Network coverage & API resilience

How this is scored

Which networks are supported through official APIs, how quickly the vendor follows platform changes, and what the customer keeps when a network breaks or leaves.

0 — Connects to no social network, or only through means the vendor states are unofficial.

3 — Two or three major networks connected.

5 — The main networks (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, X or Pinterest — most of them) connected, with the per-network capabilities or limitations documented in the help centre.

8 — Broad coverage including the newer networks (Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon or similar) through official APIs, a changelog or status page for integrations, advance notice of platform deprecations, and full export of the customer's own publishing and engagement archive.

10 — Platform dependency handled as an engineering commitment: official partner status where it exists, per-network capability documented and kept current, rapid response to API changes with the history to show it, and an archive that stays the customer's whatever a network does next.

Report an error

The Community Manager

All the main networks — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Pinterest and YouTube — plus WhatsApp Business, Google My Business and live chat are connected, with direct publishing and all Instagram content formats. I found no public information on Threads, Bluesky or Mastodon, an integration changelog or status page, or advance notice of platform deprecations; the vendor itself states social media messages are not archived, with only short fragments visible and Facebook and Instagram content retained at most one year. 3 5 2

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the archive and the community conversations are processed, who the contracting entity is, which subprocessors touch them. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline. Note that the networks themselves are non-EU by definition — this criterion judges the tool, not the platforms it talks to. Dimensions the sources do not establish are unknown, not non-EU.

0 — Proven non-EU: a non-EU vendor and contracting entity with hosting stated outside the EU.

3 — One European element proven — an EU contracting entity or EU hosting stated — with the rest of the chain undocumented.

5 — An EU contracting entity and EU hosting both stated, and a data processing agreement offered.

8 — EU or DACH hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, a subprocessor list published with locations, and the handling of message content from the networks described with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor European, certification published, and a DPA that squarely addresses the personal data arriving from the networks in comments and messages.

Report an error

The Community Manager

Hosting is stated on secured servers in Frankfurt, Germany with Amazon Web Services named as the infrastructure subprocessor, the contracting entity is Coosto B.V. in Eindhoven with a Dutch VAT and KVK registration, and a subprocessor list is published with locations — mostly European, though Open AI (US) is named as the default for the AI Content Generator add-on. The privacy statement describes how public message content from the networks is handled, including pseudonymization of comments from pages customers do not manage, and Coosto is ISO 27001 certified. 2 1

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a team can compute the real annual invoice for their account and user count — including the tier where approvals and the inbox begin — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A public "from" price or a single tier with its price.

5 — Prices per tier public with the billing period and the included social accounts or users stated.

8 — Every tier priced publicly with account and user limits, feature boundaries, the cost of an extra account or seat, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual invoice derivable for a given number of social accounts, users and client workspaces, with every add-on priced.

Report an error

The Community Manager not rated — no public information

We found no public information on prices, tiers, billing periods, account or seat limits, or at which tier the inbox and approvals begin — the product pages describe capabilities and offer a demo, but no figures at all, so a team cannot compute an annual invoice from what is public. 1 4 5 6
