If you\u2019re looking for a tool to help you manage your social media matters, here are five you might want to consider:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>SproutSocial<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most of the apps discussed in this post offer similar features. SproutSocial is typical, offering, among other things, a) monitoring of social media channels, b) publishing to Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, c) team collaboration, and d) content post scheduling.<\/p>\n

SproutSocial also has an interesting patented technology, however, which is likely worth a second look:\u00a0 Optimal Send Time (that is aimed, unsurprisingly, at finding the optimal time to publish content).<\/p>\n

Prices range from $39-99 \/ month\/user, depending on what features are desired.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Nimble<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nimble, like SproutSocial, is integrated with Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, letting users manage contacts, view all messaging across platforms in a single inbox, and schedule and assign tasks. Nimble also lets users view marketing efforts, broken down by supporter, and has features interwoven with MailChimp, Wufoo, and HubSpot.<\/p>\n

Pricing is a flat $15 \/ month\/user, regardless of features used.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>JitterJam<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

JitterJam has similar features to the preceding apps, like social media monitoring, engagement and activity, contact profile building, and \u201cdeep\u201d analytics, but also offers something called \u201cMake Me Happy\u2122\u201d permission marketing that lets contacts make selections about how you contact them (and how often you do so). Neat!<\/p>\n

Pricing:\u00a0 Not immediately apparent.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Thrive<\/a>, from Small Act<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thrive was designed specifically for nonprofits, so you\u2019ll definitely want to try a free demo of this software. Features appear to be comparable to other social CRMs we saw, but might be custom-tailored for nonprofits in ways that aren\u2019t apparent from a quick review of their site. We\u2019d love to hear back from users on this one.<\/p>\n

Pricing:\u00a0 $99 \/ month \/ user (for the \u201cAdvantage\u201d level license).<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Vitrue<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now for the larger companies. Vitrue was acquired last spring by Oracle, so we expect there to be major resources behind it. Vitrue is broken into four main parts: Tabs (custom Facebook modules), Publisher (push content to Facebook, Twitter, and Google+), Analytics (data), and Shop (Social Commerce).<\/p>\n

Pricing:\u00a0 Not immediately apparent.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Radian6<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The other large company we came across was Radian6, which is under the SalesForce umbrella. Radian6 seems to do what other services do, but also carries a long list of additional features that can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pricing is enterprise-level and starts at $5,000\/mo<\/a>. If you\u2019re on a tight budget, this probably isn\u2019t the tool for you.<\/p>\n

If you find other services that are worth consideration, please let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
