Sprout Social
Publishing, inbox, and reporting for teams that run social as a channel
Sprout Social schedules posts, pulls every comment and message into one inbox, and builds client-ready reports. It is priced per seat: Essentials is $79 a month billed yearly for 5 profiles, and Standard is $199. It is for a business with someone whose job is social. For an owner posting twice a week, it is more than you need.
