Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Data Protection Officer

Weighted verdict

Notes that every comment and message arriving from a network is personal data the company now processes. Wants a DPA that addresses that squarely, retention on the conversation archive, and an answer on where the sentiment analysis sends the text.

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 Data Protection Officer

A content calendar to plan, preview and publish to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Pinterest and YouTube is documented, with Instagram stories and reels, Bitly shortening with UTM URLs, and posting-time advice derived from the account's own previous performance. We found no public information on bulk upload, CSV import, queueing, or what happens when a post fails, so dependable publishing at volume stays unproven. 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 Data Protection Officer

One inbox takes Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Google My Business, WhatsApp Business, live chat and reviews, with answer templates, internal notes, automatic case assignment, sentiment at a glance, per-person conversation history and service-level reporting on replies within the deadline; a Salesforce Service Cloud integration extends it to the helpdesk. We found no public information on spam or hidden-comment handling or on moderation rules that act automatically. 5

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 Data Protection Officer

Custom dashboards and templates, brand-styled reports, scheduled sharing, paid versus organic comparison including Meta ads, and a Google Analytics 4 integration tying UTM-tagged posts to website traffic and conversions are all documented. Retention of collected content is user-configurable to five years on request, though Facebook and Instagram content is limited to one year; we found no public information on competitor benchmarking or audience demographics over time. 2 4 6 7

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 Data Protection Officer

An approval workflow with a four-eyes process, internal notes and feedback on drafts is documented, alongside single sign-on and two-factor authentication. We found no public information on roles or permissions per social account, multi-step approval chains, content locking after approval, or an audit trail of who changed and published what — the records a regulator would ask for when a post contains personal data. 1 3 4

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 Data Protection Officer

Publishing is documented to the full set of main networks — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Pinterest and YouTube — and users can export or delete their own data at any time. We found no public information on newer networks such as Threads or Bluesky, on a changelog or status page for integrations, or on per-network capability documentation. 2 3

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 Data Protection Officer

The contracting entity is Coosto B.V. in Eindhoven with a Dutch VAT number, hosting is stated on secured servers in Frankfurt in European data centres, and a subprocessor list with locations is published — though OpenAI in the United States is a default add-on for the AI Content Generator, and we found no public information on where the EmotionAI sentiment engine sends conversation text. The privacy statement says public social media messages are not archived, only short fragments are visible, retention is one year by default and five on request, and public information is pseudonymised where it serves no purpose — but we found no public information on a data processing agreement or on the legal basis stated for collecting that content. 1 2 4

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 Data Protection Officer not rated — no public information

We found no public information on prices, tiers, billing periods or account and user limits on the captured homepage, publishing, engagement and analytics pages, so a team cannot compute its annual invoice from public material. 1 3 4 5 6
