Thumbs up for ContentStudio
Double thumbs up.
PROSAn incredible tool to help with finding and automating curated content. Links with all the major platforms. Can create curated blog posts too. And a ton of other stuff I've not even scratched the surface with. It been developed beyond recognition since I start using it a few years ago. Each iteration it gets better and better. It's clear they listen to their users.
CONSBecause there is so much functionality and possibility, there is a bit of a learning curve. But that's the same with any software as powerful as this.
Reasons for switching to ContentStudio
I got a lifetime deal. Plus Hootsuite didn't have the curation options ContentStudio does. Still think Hootsuite is great, but wouldn't go back.

Better than I knew!
After an initial disappointing experience a long time ago, I've returned to ContentStudio and am pleased that I have. All of my social media accounts for different brands are now under one virtual roof.
PROSI was looking for a substitute for Buffer; while I loved the platform, I was reaching the limits of my current subscription tier, and I needed a solution that had as many of Buffer's features as possible, while not being as prohibitively expensive. Enter ContentStudio (CS). I bought a lifetime subscription through AppSumo a few years ago, used it for a while, then abandoned it, probably because at that time it wasn't as feature-rich as it is now. Then I recently remembered I had it, and tried it again. So far, any feature I loved or needed that Buffer had, showed up in CS as I used it.
CONSSometimes, it's difficult to come from another platform where you're used to finding things in certain places, and while CS has good onboarding, it wasn't always easy to figure out what I wanted to do. Thankfully, support was very responsive, getting back to me within a couple of hours at most.
Reason for choosing ContentStudio
Cost (through AppSumo, a lifetime account was a great deal) and features (it had everything I needed in Buffer).
Reasons for switching to ContentStudio
Cost. Buffer's subscriptions rise astronomically when you get beyond 8 social media accounts; the next tier is 25, far too many for my needs at the moment, and nothing in between.

Buggy, features not working, slow support services
The potential. It promises a lot. For the services promised, it should be amazing. It is not.
CONSfeature do not deliver. Couldn't get Twitter analysis, support was very slow to acknowledge, did not correct quickly. There is no easy cancel option to get your money back if you don't like the product. Evergreen is clunky and slow. You're better off writing your own posts and scheduling them on free software. The automatic tools can be confusing and the 'help' videos are their YouTube channel, which makes help hard to find.

My overall experience was ok with ContentStudio. I would continue to use it if it wasn't for the cost.
PROSI liked the post scheduling and content management features the best. That is what I used the most when I was in my trial.

Small Business Owner
ContentStudio helps me a lot, considering I am a solopreneur with very little time to build a social media presence on multiple platforms. If it weren't for this software, I would have to work much harder to achieve the same results.
PROSContentStudio simplifies my content marketing strategy. I can post to multiple social media channels with a click of a button. I also like their SEO suggestions when I am writing a blog post. Thanks to ContentStudio, I got the hang of writing articles being SEO conscious. And now, many of my blog posts are going really well on Google and other search platforms.
CONSSometimes, I notice that the statistics about my social posts are not so precise. But that could be a misconfiguration on my behalf, as I'm still learning how to use all its functionalities. When it comes to answering customers on social media, I notice there's a bit of delay for the messages to show on ContentStudio, so I prefer answering them on Facebook Business Manager.

StoryChief has changed its business model to B2B. So, as a solopreneur, I couldn't keep up with their pricing.

CONS-No direct Instagram scheduling, but this isn't the fault of ContentStudio
Reason for choosing ContentStudio
I got everything in Buffer and Hootsuite I needed in ContentStudio but for cheaper. Back then there were differences but ContentStudio gets constant updates so it's easily on par with the competition nowadays.

ContentStudio: discover industry trends, compose compelling posts and share across all social media
The best app I have for researching and posting curated content.
PROSThis app offers an excellent content from different social channels, videos and quotes filtered by trending and most shared content. And it work perfectly with with link shorteners. It has a nice interface out and this means that researching and posting is quick and easy. Also works with Google my Business now.
CONSNot so good content for non english languages. Not direct posting to Instagram.
Reason for choosing ContentStudio
It offers way more options and resources than other apps.

Well organized and easy to use
ContentStudio has made it easy for me to focus on one client at a time. Creating, scheduling and tracking are at your fingertips. I have tried almost all the options available and at this point, I find that ContentStudio checks off all my needs. I appreciate the option to integrate with other software.
CONSI really have not found any cons other than little layout issues. I chalk that up to my own personal preferences though.

Content creation was faster and I can focus on one client at a time.

A Solid Platform That is Constantly Improving
I was able to purchase a LTD of ContentStudio, and really got some bang for my buck. But even with the cost of this today, I still consider it a solid option for content management across multiple social platforms.
PROSPacked with features and functionality, ContentStudio really is a solid platform for anyone looking to get control of their online content and manage their metrics. It's priced well for the feature set, and comes with some solid support if you have any issues.
CONSFor the non-technical, this platform may be a bit overwhelming. Some may say there are too many options and a bit of a learning curve to use it properly. However, I prefer granular control and management over my content.
Reason for choosing ContentStudio
The lifetime deal was too good for me to pass up, but if it hadn't performed like other platforms I have used, I would have moved on.

The best social media tool for power users
I automated the process of tracking trends in my field and sharing with friends on my social media. Thats a big plus
PROSI can't speak enough about the robustness of this tool. The only feature I'll highlight is probably discovery. DISCOVERY: This feature replaced my BuzzSumo subscription. I track trends in my field and share with friends rather easily.
CONSPublishing to Instagram isn't direct. There is a mobile app and a reminder. This is probably the only downer

Content Studio is a place to create, distribute, and track content in one platform.
I've tried or worked with many social media management platforms since 2008, when this became part of my work. Content Studio is one of the new wave of fierce start-up companies from the last five years that offer more value at a realistic cost. The way social media and content creation works has changed dramatically since 2015. Before then, it was either blog OR social media, and now EVERYTHING is media, and it is more complex than ever to form a connection with people and get found in organic search. Content Studio is making a considerable effort to create, distribute, and track content in one place as a viable offering. Con
PROSContent Studio is making a considerable effort to create, distribute, and track content in one place as a viable offering. There are many places to do this but I have found Content Studio to be bravely always making updates and progress towards a place to run your own 'media company' from. I like the way you can connect to so many social media and web platforms from one place. AND on the blog platform sort out your SEO, tag and other pre-post tasks, something that is always pain from inside WordPress! Connecting to Google My Business and Pinterest is a big deal too, not every social media platform does this.
CONSThe weakness is the blogging platform. But it is always improving and I'm hopeful this will become a powerhouse. As with any software, there is a learning curve, and I've needed to spend time working out how to use it and fit it into my workflow.
Reason for choosing ContentStudio
The platform looked more future-thinking because it included content sources and a deeper connection to answering comments on social platforms. Being able to respond to comments on social from within an app rather than going to that social platform and getting lost is VERY attractive for tracking conversations and time management.
Reasons for switching to ContentStudio
It came upon App Sumo in a deal and looked good. Deeper integration with Twitter and comments.

I'm looking forward to the customer service becoming as great as the product.
The product seemed really great based on how it was marketed and it's definitely a great tool. Customer support is kind of a mixed bag. Some days they are more responsive than others, but I suppose that they are doing the best that they can. I was tempted to get a refund and move on to another service but then they kind of gave me an offer that I couldn't refuse. Content Studio appears to be just what I need to step our social media game up in a major way. I have no complaints about the product itself.
PROSThe user interface is clean and its easy to use. They have an iphone app(which is necessary to do scheduled postings to Instagram), the features seem to be very useful, they are constantly updating the product and introducing new features. The influencer and analysis add-ons seem pretty promising, just wish they weren't so costly.
CONSI scheduled two demos because I wanted to have a more in-depth conversation about the features and functionality of the product, but the representatives failed to appear at both web conferences. I think the time difference plays a large role in their slow responsiveness when it comes to resolving customer issues. Also, the pricing isn't exactly great but it isn't bad.
Reason for choosing ContentStudio
It seemed that it would be the best option in the long term, especially with the Lifetime Deal,

CS Experience
I did lots of research and found all the deals, pricing, and competitors deals and pricing. There are pros and cons but overall CS is more innovated and geared up for todays social networking and the future of it all. Their use of the APIs has created a hub like no other with resources and integration that can take anyone personal or legal business to the next level. Posting to socials of all kinds and your personal WP or 3rd party blogsite is now in one spot, one hub, with analytics, social inboxing, automation, tracking, and much more.
PROSYou can take control of your social marketing and published content including curated content automation, link tracking, deep Insights, influencers discovery and so much more . CS can change your life if you are a social person looking to get more views and engagement or if you are a business looking to scale your audience, or if you are a marketer looking to have software tools that will help take you and your business as well as your clients business to the next level.
CONSIt may take some time to understand the potential of the software and the marketing strategies you can create. The few functions it lacks is in the works and will be developed by CS and released to the members depending on your plan type. Basically The cons are being worked on, for example: they don't have YouTube posting yet but will soon and still have YouTube for social inbox; amougsnt other small things that CS is working on.
Reason for choosing ContentStudio
Overall, They are the number one choice and the direction they are going makes the most sense to continue utilizing their software for years to come. Their price is nothing compared to the money and exposure you can organically get yourself or with use of AI.

Content Studio is overall a good tool for social media
Content Studio streamlines the process of creating and scheduling social media posts by reducing the time and effort required. It also provides a well-organized system for planning your content, making it easier to stay ahead. With its automatic curation feature, Content Studio ensures that your social media accounts are filled with relevant and engaging material, saving you time and effort in the content creation process. I found it incredibly helpful in maintaining an active and fresh presence on my accounts. This all-in-one tool is ideal for businesses of any size seeking to establish a strong social media presence. By generating and automatically posting content, Content Studio acts as a comprehensive content curation tool that keeps your social media accounts active and relevant
CONSUnfortunately, Content Studio doesn't currently offer the ability to edit images or add your own logo within the platform. While you can use Canva to make these edits, it would be more convenient to have this feature integrated within the app. The mobile app version also lacks some of the functionality available in the desktop version, which could limit its usability for some users. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of integrating Content Studio with other applications and tools to enhance its overall functionality and user experience.

Content Studio pulls together all the tools you need for social media content marketing. You can research topics, write content and publish content for multiple sectors within the application. The software is constantly being developed and support response has been quick and helpful.
PROSThe application allows you to pull together all your social media accounts into a single working environment. It is easy to log in and quickly locate a piece of content to which you can add value and re-share to your audience. The automated Hashtag suggestions and url shortening are particularly useful during this process. You can also recycle evergreen content, integrate RSS Feeds and create automation recipes in order to save time with your social media management.
