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

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

The whole publishing story is a content planner that plans content across channels — enough for a plan across several networks in one place, and nothing more. We found no public information on drafts and previews, bulk upload, best-time suggestions, or any failure notification when a scheduled post goes wrong overnight. 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 Community Manager

Every mention, message and comment lands in one chronologically sorted inbox with filters by channel, type and time, and reviews from the community arrive in the same queue — plus scams and hate speech filtered into separate folders, Smart Rules automation and AI reply suggestions. What I found no public information on is the service-desk layer: saved replies, conversation history per person, response-time tracking, or escalation to a helpdesk. 2 3 5 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 Community Manager

Cross-platform dashboards cover channels, posts, fans and campaigns, you can build your own dashboards, export for reporting, and receive automated reports by email, with sentiment, historical data and dashboard export addressed in the FAQ and benchmarking through the SocialInsider partner. We found no public information on white-label client reporting, paid and organic combined, or attribution into web analytics. 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 Community Manager

Teams manage requests together, divide the work among each other and use approval processes — real collaboration, but stated on the community pages rather than for content before it goes live. We found no public information on roles or permissions per account, multi-step approval chains, 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 Community Manager

Comments, mentions and messages arrive across channels and reviews from the community are pulled straight into the inbox, so genuine connections exist. But we found no public information on which networks are connected, per-network capabilities or limitations, a changelog or status page, or export of our own publishing and engagement archive. 3 6 7

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

The European story is stated plainly: developed entirely in Germany, hosted on C5-certified servers, ISO 27001 certified, described as European software compliant with GDPR and the German BDSG. For a higher score the paper is missing — we found no public information on a data processing agreement, a subprocessor list with locations, or named infrastructure. 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 Community Manager

The captured pages show no prices at all — no tier, no billing period, no account or user limits — and the review-platforms option is activated by filling out a form and waiting for the vendor to switch it on. A team cannot compute any annual invoice from these pages, and we found no public information on where the inbox and approvals begin in the plans. 6 7
