Looking for a good Meet Edgar alternative?

Unlike Edgar, we don’t require a completely separate tool in order to reply to the comments you’ve received on the posts you’ve published. You’ll have your Inbox, your Fans and Followers, and your Reports all in one place for one affordable price.

With Agorapulse, you can schedule or queue a post to publish a set amount of times or repeat in custom increments.

Sadly, Edgar doesn’t these scheduling must-haves.

And yes, we have Queue Categories.

Whether you schedule your posts one-by-one or via bulk upload, you can make sure your social media content stays organized and evenly distributed by assigning categories to your queue calendar.

Bulk upload images to your queue. Add more variety to your queues by shuffling them. Reign your queues in by pressing pause. You’re in control.

See our Queue Categories in action here.

Our unlimited, downloadable reports for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram come with every subscription. Our reports are available on the Web and as customizable PowerPoint slides. In addition, you can download your Content Reports via CSV so that you can view your breakdown of engagement on each post.

Now you can post and respond, then with a click, see and present the results of these efforts all in one place.

 Download report samples from this welcome page.

If you’re staring at an inbox or monitored item and don’t know how to respond, assign it with a custom note to a teammate or client with better skills to answer. Spot a bit of good news on Twitter? Share the happiness with your colleague.

Nervous about an intern posting pixelated Grumpy Cat memes to all your pages? That’s hard to control with Edgar. But not with Agorapulse. We give you the ability to assign publishing roles to all your team’s users will keep the “wild horses” under control.

Your publishing calendar will give you color-coded guidance as to what content has been assigned to you, put in draft mode, or has been approved.

Our inbox allows you to manage and assign comments, replies. You can even reply on Facebook and Twitter through messaging!

With our moderation rules, you can:

• Auto-assign comments to the appropriate team member
• Auto-tag or bookmark comments associated with a campaign
• Auto-hide or delete comments that may ruin your reputation

Check out how to use moderation rules.

Our customer relationship management (CRM) tool gives you data out-of-the-box so you can immediately better engage your audience or support your clients.

With Agorapulse, you can say goodbye to the added clutter and expense of additional CRM tool.

Our connection to both Facebook’s Marketing API and Graph API means that comments are in sync 100% of the time.

If you know what an API is, let me get geekier with you. What makes our sync system unique is a combination of simultaneous calls to both the Marketing API (aka the Ads API) AND the Graph API. 

If you’re an Edgar user, you most likely rely on native Facebook to manage comments on their sponsored posts. Not only is that an extra step, but with the way Facebook delivers comments, you have to sift through each and every ad to see if any new comments have been posted. This tedious work often leaves negative comments out in the open — which can ruin your reputation. Ugh!

Again, we serve you ALL of your ad comments directly in your Social Inbox. Simply filter by ad comments, and BAM! they’re ALL there without crazy clickthroughs or fear that you might have missed something.

To find out how an agency like NewFire Media likes dark post commenting with Agorapulse, read this post.

Say you’re keen on Hootsuite. You’ll need the Hootsuite Business plan to get all those profiles and accounts. That will run you $499/mo. Add that to Edgar ($49/mo), and you’ll be paying $548 a month.

If you’re leaning toward SproutSocial, you’ll need the Corporate plan multiplied by 5 to accommodate your users and an extra $50 to get your seats from 15 to 25. The Sprout cost there will be $795/mo. Along with your Edgar cost, that combo will run you $844 per month.

Here they are side by side.

To keep things simple, you could just use one tool like Agorapulse — which will run you just $199/mo.

Shall we add that to our handy table?

We’ll take a moment of silence and let the numbers do the talking here.

We gave you a lot of things to think about, no? Here is a rundown of what I’ve mentioned so far, in addition to a couple other goodies like customizing content for each social network, bulk uploading images, and YouTube integration.
