The Sprout Social vs Hootsuite vs Buffer vs Metricool comparison is complex. All of these social media management tools are pretty good. You can use tools such as Sprout Social to plan your social media posting in advance. You can also use Hootsuite to export social media reports. Buffer can help you with social media analytics.
My favorite social media management tool is Metricool. I have cross compares all of these tools and Metricool has the best usability for the money. It’s not trying to recreate the wheel, but instead perfect what we need out of a social media management tool.
