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

The Analyst

Weighted verdict

Has to compare metrics the networks define differently and report a number the board believes. Wants history retained past the platforms' own windows, normalisation documented rather than hidden, and UTM attribution that reaches web analytics.

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

Scored by The Analyst

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 at 3am.

0 — One post to several networks at once with no per-network variation and no calendar.

3 — A calendar with scheduling and basic per-network text variants; failures are discovered by noticing the post never appeared.

5 — Per-network content, media and first-comment variants, drafts, a usable calendar with drag-and-drop, and failure notifications with a retry.

8 — Bulk upload and CSV import, evergreen or queue-based scheduling, link shortening with UTM rules, preview matching each network's actual rendering, and stories, reels or shorts supported where the API allows.

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 Analyst

Auto-publish to eight networks from one content calendar is confirmed, and the AI generator produces per-platform captions and hashtags, but I found no public information on failure notifications with retry, bulk upload, or link shortening with UTM rules. Best-time recommendations are advertised with no statement that they derive from the account's own posting history. 1

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 inbox; engagement happens in each native app.

3 — Mentions and comments listed per network with no assignment, no status and no history.

5 — A unified inbox across the connected networks with assignment, status and internal notes, and the conversation history visible per person.

8 — Direct messages included where the API allows, saved replies, SLA timers, sentiment or priority flags, spam and hidden-comment handling, 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 Analyst

A unified inbox for replying to conversations, cross-account comment moderation, and brand-mention tracking are confirmed, which is more than per-network lists. I found no public information on assignment, statuses, internal notes, per-person conversation history, direct messages, or moderation rules acting automatically. 1

Analytics & reporting

How this is scored

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

0 — Per-network vanity counts pulled live; no history kept.

3 — Basic post and profile metrics with a short history and no cross-network comparison.

5 — Metrics stored beyond the networks' own retention, cross-network comparison, competitor benchmarking, and scheduled exports.

8 — Custom dashboards, white-label client reporting, paid and organic combined where the API allows, UTM-based attribution into web analytics, 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 Analyst

Competitor benchmarking, custom dashboards, and automated white-label reports are confirmed, and 100+ real-time metrics are advertised, which gives an agency-grade surface. But I found no public information on metrics stored beyond the networks' own retention windows, on how differently-defined metrics are normalised across networks, or on UTM attribution into web analytics — the three things that decide whether a report can be handed over unedited. A metric count says nothing about comparability. 1

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 — Shared login, no roles, no approvals.

3 — Separate users with a coarse admin split and an optional single approval step.

5 — Roles per network and account, multi-step approval workflows, comments on drafts, and an activity log.

8 — Client or brand workspaces with strict separation, configurable 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 Analyst

Role-based permissions, approval workflows, and per-location permissions are advertised, which sits above a coarse admin split, and agency client calendars can be shared. I found no public information on multi-step approval chains, comments on drafts, content locking, or an audit trail showing who approved and published what — the evidence a regulated buyer would ask to see. 1

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 — A few networks, some through unofficial means, with no statement about API status or platform changes.

3 — The major networks through official APIs, but feature gaps undocumented and platform changes communicated after they bite.

5 — Official API integrations across the main networks with the per-network limitations documented, and a changelog when platform behaviour changes.

8 — Broad official coverage including the newer networks, a public status page for integrations, advance notice of 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 Analyst

Eight networks including the newer ones, Threads and TikTok, are listed with auto-publish, which is broad coverage on paper. I found no public information on official API use, per-network limitation documentation, an integration status page, deprecation notices, or export of the customer's own publishing and engagement archive — resilience against a network change is therefore unjudged from public pages. 1

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.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — AI features, analytics, support tooling — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU or DACH hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, complete subprocessor list published, 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 Analyst

The vendor presents itself as a French company and states 100% EU GDPR compliance, but I found no public information on hosting location, contracting terms, a subprocessor list, or a DPA addressing the personal data arriving from the networks. The advertised hand-off of analytics into Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini makes the silence on subprocessors and safeguards the more pressing. 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 per-user headline exists, but the number of social accounts included, or the tier where approvals and the inbox appear, is unstated.

5 — Per-user or per-account prices public with billing period stated, but at least one commonly needed capability (inbox, approvals, reporting) sits in an unpriced tier.

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 Analyst

The public pricing facts are a plan named Excel positioned as most complete, a two-week trial with no credit card required, and cancel-anytime; no price figure, billing period, or account and seat limits appear on the captured page. I found no public information on which tier carries approvals or the unified inbox, so a team cannot compute an annual invoice from what is published. 1

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 22 Sep 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
Weak sourcing — Subprocessors. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
