Sotrender vs. Sprout Social \u2013 main differences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At first sight, Sotrender and Sprout Social may look similar. However, after taking a closer look at both, you\u2019ll notice some significant differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Sprout Social offers various features, answering diverse needs, Sotrender covers a more specific niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprout Social is a social media management<\/a> platform enabling users to plan social media content, engage with their audience, and analyze their strategy performance. Meanwhile, Sotrender is primarily a social media analytics tool<\/a> that helps marketers better understand their social media efforts, save time by automating reporting, and learn more about competitors and the whole market.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive deeper into the specifics of both Sotrender and Sprout Social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benchmarking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to tracking competitors\u2019 social media activities and performance, both Sotrender and Sprout Social are capable of tracking this kind of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll help you monitor what your competitors post on their social media channels, e.g., on Facebook or Instagram, and analyze engagement on these profiles as well as other statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there is one important difference between these two tools regarding the time range of historical data available for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Sprout Social for the profiles you don\u2019t own, you can access data only for the last 30 days. But in Sotrender<\/a>, you can analyze competitor performance even for the last 3 years depending on the subscription plan you\u2019re on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analyzing competitor performance for such a short time period won\u2019t be sufficient in the majority of cases. To get a bigger picture on their strategies, you need a peek at their data for at least a quarter, if not more. Brands intensify their marketing activities without notice, so you always need to make sure you\u2019re up to date with what is going on in the market you operate in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to benchmarking<\/a>, Sotrender is a great and much more affordable Sprout Social alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n
