Looking for a new, all-round social media platform to manage social media presence for your agency clients? Here are a few alternatives to consider if you’re using Sendible and are thinking of switching to something else.
Simplify Social Media
Management with One Tool
- Manage & reply to comments and DMs in one place.
- Monitor ad comments from multiple accounts.
- Automate answers to repetitive questions.
- Schedule posts to multiple accounts, on desktop.
- Analyze performance and monitor hashtags.
- Keep track of your competition.
- Create or schedule in-depth reports in seconds.
Let’s first take a look at what we’re working with
Sendible is a comprehensive social media management platform. This means they have several social media tools under one umbrella, helping agencies to do things like:
- Plan and publish content for many social media platforms in one place. Sendible supports Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Google Business.
- A dashboard to manage comments and messages and monitor brand mentions.
- Social media analytics and reporting to track engagement.
- Team collaboration tools including shared content libraries, task delegation, approval workflows for posts, access tiers for users.
- Some extra features include Canva and Google analytics integrations, image editor, bulk content importing, and more.
- For agencies, Sendible also offers white labeling options for client collaboration.
Now, if you’re lacking more advanced features compared to Sendible or new channels (like, for example, TikTok publishing and comment management), want to change the pricing structure (or are plain looking for a cheaper solution), or simply want to explore what other social media platforms have to offer, here’s a quick look at some of the best Sendible alternatives out there.
NapoleonCat
First in line is NapoleonCat – also a comprehensive and powerful social media tool suite with multiple tools to manage social media profiles for your agency clients (and for small business, too). And super-friendly pricing. 😉
What it includes:
- Social media publishing calendar where you can plan, schedule, and automatically post content for Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram (including Reels that you can also post on Facebook), TikTok, and Google My Business. So if your clients are active on TikTok, you can easily include TikTok content in your social media schedule and approve with your clients via the calendar.
- Social Inbox where you can manage and reply to all the engagement that appears under your content: comments, messages, and other interactions. The inbox includes your clients’ Google My Business reviews for multiple locations, as well as your sponsored posts and ads on Facebook and Instagram (notorious for not getting their comments moderated.) And, of course, TikTok. 🙂
- Auto-moderation tools that will help you do things like bulk-prevent spam and automate some of your customer service. Handy when you’re getting a lot of the same questions, for example.
- Social media analytics and automated reporting tools to help you track performance and engagement, including what and when to post for best results.
- Competitor analysis to track performance and engagement for your competitors’ channels and define benchmarks for your clients’ social media marketing activity. You can follow any publicly available Facebook page, Instagram profile, or LinkedIn company page to analyze its social media content performance and audience demographics.
- Social CRM to have a broader look at your clients’ customers and their interactions with your clients’ brands.
Agency-oriented features:
What makes NapoleonCat great for agencies are its robust team collaboration features. They’ll help you organize and improve your social media customer service workflows, internal comms around client accounts, as well as agency-client communication. These include:
- Workspaces to separately organize content and comment moderation for different clients.
- Task management tools for content creation and comment moderation.
- Approval workflows and real time feedback tools for your planned content – within your team and with your client.
- A shared calendar with colored labels and internal titles to better organize your content plan.
- Consulting customer service tickets (a.k.a. comment threads from different social media platforms) with members of a different team or your client (and they don’t have to be NapoleonCat users.)
- Easy sharing access to social media accounts with clients and external collaborators without sharing your passwords, with access management tools.
Plus, compared to similarly comprehensive platforms, it comes at an affordable price per user (check it out here.)
We highly recommend you test NapoleonCat for free here – no credit card required during signup 😉
