What does Oktopost do well?

Oktopost is a B2B social media management suite with employee advocacy as one part of it. It connects social activity to the CRM through Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, HubSpot, Marketo Engage and Eloqua, and combines publishing, a social inbox, listening, analytics and advocacy in one platform. It is a strong choice when one team runs company social, listening and advocacy together.

Why do teams look for an Oktopost alternative?

Teams look elsewhere for four reasons: Oktopost does not publish its pricing, add-ons can raise the bill, setup starts with a demo, a quote and an annual contract, and its reporting is built around tracked clicks rather than what each person's posts achieve. Reported Oktopost contracts have a median of $14,994 a year, according to Vendr.

Is price per seat the right number to compare?

Oktopost suggests comparing cost per active advocate. Using its own example of $5,000 a month for 100 licences with 50 active advocates, that is $100 per active advocate per month. On Vulse, 100 seats cost $600 a month, so even at the same 50% activity it is $12 per active advocate.
