A full social inbox for managing comments, DMs, and mentions in one place
Scheduling is great, but have you tried having all your comments, messages, and mentions from multiple social media accounts and even ads, all in one view, in the same platform? That’s what Social Inbox does – you can reply, like, hide, and even forward to a teammate without ever leaving NapoleonCat.
AI auto-moderation to catch spam and hate before your audience sees it
There’s more – and it’s Auto-moderation. First, the AI Assistant in the Social Inbox catches all spam and hate without fail. And then, Auto-moderation can take over to automatically hide them the second they’re posted, with your audience completely oblivious.
Social CRM that tracks every customer conversation and interaction
Speaking of your audience, in Social CRM you can collect all user details, including conversation history with your brand, across your social media profiles. Handy when you need context to reply to a customer faster and in a more relevant way, without making them repeat what they already said.
Advanced analytics and moderation reports for data-driven decisions
Track and monitor your social media engagement and your moderation performance – yes, in the same app. With NapoleonCat, you have insight into how your profiles are growing, how your content works, and how your moderation team replies to customers.
Reliable account connections that don’t require constant re-authorization
Connecting your accounts to NapoleonCat is easy and reliable. And once that’s done, anyone you give access to a social media profile can work on it in NapoleonCat.
Responsive customer support when you need help – within minutes
Talk to customer service that’s actually human – and will quickly assist with anything you need while using the platform. No matter the plan you’re on.
Role-based team permissions with workspace-level access control for growing teams
Grant different access levels to team members and external contributors based on their role in the project. Workspaces will let you divide work and teams between different brands, clients, or locations, making social media management a breeze.
The Buffer 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.
