Upsides:
There's no bloated upsells; what you see (and pay for) is what you get.
The ContentStudio team is extremely receptive to user feedback and often implements top-rated suggestions.
The cloud-based software will keep you very organized and is SO much better than HootSuite as a social media tool.
Tool consistently adds crucial & cutting-edge features to beef up its competitive offerings.
Integrates with WordPress for blog posts, and is great for collaboration among team members with varying roles (e.g. creators, approvers, clients, etc.)
I haven't fully explored the curation tools, but they're definitely promising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Downside:
The desktop & mobile apps can be glitchy at times.
You can't yet locate influencers whom you currently work with. I'm not sure how they are sourcing these, but it would be nice to be able to add influencers and manage existing relationships this way.
UI can be confusing at first, but the learning curve is short and it's not crammed together or an ADHD nightmare like HootSuite.
The ContentStudio mobile app is missing some features and isn't updated as frequently as the desktop version.
Reporting could be better. Having tooltips on the methodology/calculation of the native social metrics being used would help determine what discrepancies exist, if any, between goal KPIs and those reported by ContentStudio.
Needs to work on accuracy (there are some discrepancies between metrics like social media hashtag counts and analytics when looking at CS vs. a native platform or another tool like SEMrush. Hence, the previous statement about the metric sources/calculations).
Since it integrates with WordPress, there should be a way to optimize posts attributes (e.g. the meta description, page titles, internal linking, etc.) and/or an SEO API integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the curated content so you can easily find the right information for your followers. It has a fast process, so you have a few minutes per week to plan and schedule your posts. It can post to various social media sites, and at the same time, you can adapt your message to each platform. You can have multiple workspaces for each brand or project. It offers an automation tool and a very nice analysis of your content posted per platform. They added an inbox, so you can now answer your followers' comments directly from Content Studio. Overall, it is an excellent tool that I use for more than 2 years, and it keeps getting better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes there are some bugs, so your posts won't process. I wanted to add some YouTube links, but Content Studio couldn't retrieve the information from YT. Another bug that is there for some time is the Insta Notification on the iPhone app that does not work. I feel that content from more important publishers could be added to the curated content.

We use ContentStudio to optimize our digital content management, I have been able to easily manage the different accounts in the different social networks of our organization, study our content making it suitable for our profiles and schedule its publication in calendar, I can publish the best content from a platform nothing complex, an intuitive interface, very easy to use and with very useful resources, I like everything about this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Only that I can't publish directly on Instagram, I have to opt for the integration of Zapier in order to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dashboard and content discovery. Ability to repost blogs with custom titles.
Ability to post to blogs and social profiles. Also has google my business integration.
Covers major social media profiles.
Automations are good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Instagram integration is not available. Has to be done via push notifications to mobile app.
Bulk scheduling features needs more customatisation.
The bulk scheduling feature is still cumbersome to use and doesn't integrate well with the content categories and queue slots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used different social media tools in the past including Hootsuite and Buffer but Content Studio is the next level. It has a lot of good features and functionalities that will ease your life. My top three features are Automation rules for posting, Client Approvals on posts, Hashtag Lists. And there are more to explore...!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Instagram direct publishing is not available. But I understand that they are trying to bypass this issue with a Zapier integration. Need to test that in coming days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The product itself is truly amazing and the most user-friendly I've tried to date (and I've tried A LOT!) It's very intuitive, and I really like how it rates the engagement level of the curated content options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The product runs great how it is. However, I would like to see an IN program preview link for the curated content. Sometimes I get too many tabs open. **picky Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am fairly new to managing my own social media accounts. I have always sporadically posted to them, but am now taking the task of creating and managing content for the accounts. I have been very satisfied with ContentStudio. I like that they offer content searches for news and blogs relevant to my industry. I also appreciate the ease of use of the program. I like the social influencer area that allows me to research influencers in my industry and gives me the opportunity to reach out for collaborations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't dug around enough to find the pain points of the software, just yet. I will update if/when I find things that can use improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The content discovery is great! Often I don't know what I am going to create content about but using their discovery tools makes it easy to see what people are talking about and that greatly helps in knowing how I can add to the conversation with my own content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes with a smaller niche, it can be hard to find content or creators. But that would be the same with any tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With the ability to organize your content in folders and schedule them to repost via the automated campaigns, this tool is an absolute lifesaver!! Support is awesome and always there for you. Great overall price to quality deal, a must have if you are in the social media content publishing game!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would love to have the ability to look for viral Facebook & Instagram Posts in the Find Section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Content Studio is a great tool for digital marketers and writers, it connects your social accounts and Wordpress site and enables users to create+publish from their platform. These are some of the features that stand out from competitors such as PromoRepublic.
1. Discovery feature
Love it! The interface is intuitive to find the top trending content with several search options.
2.Multi-Channel Composer
This is a time-saver, not only it provides SEO checking. I am able to set the title, image, and description in Google search results and post it to my Wordpress Blog + social media pages with few clicks.
3. Social Media Post Composer - Customize content for each channel
This is a very unique feature to me, it allows the content creator to custom design the post for the different social platforms at the same time.
4. Social Inbox
Combine all my Facebook page inboxes in 1 place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Maybe I'm being greedy, will be great if these are available soon
- Content rewriting feature is limited to 3 platforms only.
- Social Inbox for Instagram and Linkedin direct messages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ContentStudio has a lot of amazing features, from social channel integrations to amazing content discovery and curation tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only negative I've seen is a bug with the ContentStudio Chrome extension while using Replug.io to shorten links for a user with multiple workspaces. They're working on fixing this bug - just taking a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The social Inbox is a great feature and the main reason for purchase
You can save so much time and not miss comments in old posts as all your (business acc) and posts are managed in one place.
Content studio also offers extra features like Discover, Influencer and Analyze + has many other features that i still need to try out and discover myself which im sure will keep me busy for a long time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That there is no YouTube integration, and that you cant post videos longer than 1 min to IGTV, FaceBook & YouTube Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although I bought Content Studio long time ago, I have recently started using it. I am new to this social media management, but I am enjoying using the tool. I can discover content, curate and schedule the post, even I can make that automated to post it periodically. I can even reply to my customer's message. That's a new feature but awesome one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't explore deeply and not yet can come a decision about not liking this tool. So far it's good and affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to find content for curation, and easy automated posting to both blogs and social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Support (when needed) is sometimes slow to respond. I believe this is due to them being in a different time zone. But I rarely need support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
How quick it is to set up, how easy it is to use, the price and their customer service team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing I dislike, I guess no local office if I had to think of something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can integrate all social media account and 1 post goes on all platforms. i can get content ideas from inside the software which is very helping. There integration with replug and spin writter is also gold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing till now i have tried it for 2 weeks , company's future plans also looks promising and with time pass i hope to see new features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to create and curate content, and it's also to manage a small team of collaborators on the platform. There are simple ways to customize posts across social media channels. We're also able to create and publish content across multiple blogs/websites with ease. I'm a big fan of having an all-in-one tool like this that doesn't break the bank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'd love to see more options for high-performing social content curation. We'd also like to see integration with video platforms like Tik Tok, YouTube, and Vimeo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Majority of the features are most important to us. Social sharing schedule, advance analytics, influencer search, content idea and so on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Price is little bit high though but considering the awesome features would be accepted the price, but if the price little bit lower, it would be great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been able to visually plan content on the calendar and make sure I'm hitting all of my content categories Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much at this point. I've been able to plan and publish content. I do wish they integrated with Youtube Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The integrations are so many and perfect! Even supports google my business, and blogging. The automations are insane and super innovative. I really like the fact that they have a deep understanding of the professional social media marketing workflow and they understand content agendas, consistend and massive content production, scheduling, utm tagging, all the autiomations in the world and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Noting. Really. Nothing. The tool has it all and I have used pretty much all of them for different clients and campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
