AI-powered auto-moderation that Hootsuite simply doesn’t offer
Sometimes you and your team just need a little help from automation. That’s when your AI Assistant can automatically detect spam and hate for you and then trigger Auto-moderation to remove it instantly. Or when you need to support your team with automated replies to frequently asked questions during busy sales days.
A unified Social Inbox for Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Google Reviews – all in one view
Your human team will enjoy the Social Inbox – all your social media comments, DMs, and even reviews, in one place, in real time, ads included. Moderate them yourself or assign to team members, with notes and tags, for a complete social media customer service experience.
Flexible pricing that scales with usage – not $199+ per seat like Hootsuite
It’s simple: pick a plan based on the features you need, then adjust the number of users, social media profiles, and inbox interactions for a flexible subscription that doesn’t surprise you every time a new team member joins.
Built-in Social CRM to track customer relationships across channels
For even more relevant moderation, Social CRM stores customer profiles with their details and conversation history across social channels. So you always know what to say in response, even if a customer has already talked to someone else.
Responsive support included in every plan – no enterprise tier required
Wish all plans came with customer support, because you’re also a customer? With NapoleonCat, helpful support is not limited to the highest-paying brands only – you’ll always get the help and guidance you need, no matter the subscription plan.
Workspace-level permissions with admin, user, and client roles to control who does what
However many brands or clients you manage, NapoleonCat makes it really easy to organize work the way that works for you. Workspaces separate teams and social media channels with different roles and access tiers, so juggling many projects becomes less overwhelming.
The Hootsuite alternative you’ve been looking for
Here’s why our clients love NapoleonCat
Join businesses that save hours every week with an all-in-one social media management platform
It’s hard to imagine our work without a tool that includes so many valuable features. It won’t be an overstatement when I say that NapoleonCat saves us multiple full-time positions that would be dedicated to just moderating comments or manually generating reports.
NapoleonCat saves up to one-third of a full-time position. That’s time we would otherwise spend manually moderating thousands of comments each month using the Meta Business Suite, profile by profile and comment by comment. Time we can now use for growth. NapoleonCat is the best tool of its kind on the market, and it’s still constantly evolving and improving by introducing new AI features.
It’s the first social media engagement tool we have ever tried that is truly intuitive and that makes it easy for us to include the clients in the process. The service and support is great and personal. And the value for money is great!
We work with multiple clients, and with NapoleonCat, we don’t waste time switching between multiple software tools. We can also deliver reliable data from a single source. We tested other social media moderation and analytics tools before, but none of them lived up to what NapoleonCat delivers. They’re the best, and I personally love using the tool. 🙂
NapoleonCat is now an indispensable tool that we use for moderation and analytical purposes, as well as content publishing. We’re curious to see new capabilities of the tool and test its new uses, for example, to moderate TikTok ad comments, as we predict this social media channel to become more and more important for our clients.
