Classification
In brief
Summarised from the provider's information. Not a test verdict.
Calendar, queue and approvals schedule posts for many networks, including Telegram, WhatsApp and Mastodon. Inbox, social CRM, lead capture and helpdesk integration, as well as keyword and hashtag monitoring and a report builder, are included. For accounts in the EU data center, the provider cites hosting in the EU, and a DPA is available on request.
SuitsIf you are looking for planning, inbox and social CRM in one plan, this is the right choice for creators, small businesses and agencies.
Watch outThe free plan does not include a scheduling feature, and the scope of networks depends on the plan.

How to read this profile
- Every claim has a source
For every feature, price and privacy statement we store the page it comes from and the review date. Both are shown in the tool profile.
- Unknown stays unknown
If something is not stated by the provider, we show "no information". We do not guess and do not derive anything from advertising texts.
- Reviews come from third parties
Ratings come from OMR Reviews, G2 or Capterra, each with the number of reviews and the retrieval date. Each row in a list shows the same platform: the one on which most tools in the list are rated. Under 10 reviews, the rating is shown without a bar. Trustpilot and app stores rate the company or the app; they appear only in the profile. Social Rocket does not award its own rating.
