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.

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 Analyst

A content planner that plans content across channels is the whole of the documented publishing capability — no per-network variants, bulk operations, queueing, link handling, previews or failure recovery appear in the captured text. That reaches cross-channel planning with a planning surface, nothing deeper. 1 3

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 Analyst

All requests sit in one chronological inbox with replies to mentions, messages and comments, filters by channel, type and time period, and review-platform items alongside them; team work-sharing and approval processes are stated. Smart custom folders, AI-generated reply suggestions, scam and hate-speech filtering into separate folders and Smart Rules automation push this past basic queue handling. I found no public information on response-time tracking, per-person conversation history or escalation to a helpdesk, which keeps it below the service-desk level. 2 3 6

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 Analyst

Platform and cross-platform dashboards, custom dashboards, automated email delivery of reports, exports, campaign and community-management analysis and competitor benchmarking through the SocialInsider partner are all documented. The retention question that matters most — whether old data survives past the networks' own windows — appears only as an FAQ question whose answer the captured text does not show, and I found no public information on normalising differently-defined metrics across networks or UTM attribution into web analytics. 1 4 5

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 Analyst

Approval processes and dividing work among a team are stated on the inbox pages, which evidences an approval step and shared handling of requests but not granular per-account permissions. I found no public information on multi-step approval chains, legal review, content locking or an audit trail of who changed and published what. 2 3

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 Analyst

The inbox demonstrably pulls mentions, messages, comments and reviews across channels, and content is planned across channels, so connectivity to more than one network is proven. None of the captured pages names the supported networks or documents per-network limitations, an integration changelog, deprecation notices or export of the customer's own archive, so I cannot score above basic multi-network connectivity. 3 6

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 Analyst

German development and hosting on C5-certified servers are stated, the vendor operates as a GmbH, and GDPR/BDSG compliance plus ISO 27001 certification are claimed. I found no public information on a data processing agreement, a subprocessor list with locations, or the legal basis for handling message content arriving from the networks, which keeps this in the middle band rather than the upper one. 3 4 5

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 Analyst

We found no price figures, tier limits, billing periods or the point at which approvals and the inbox begin on any captured page; the only commercial detail shown is that the review-platform option is activated by contact form. A team cannot compute even an approximate annual invoice from what is published here. 6 7
