Enterprise analytics-heavy suite
Sprout's reports are lovely. You're paying for dashboards.
Sprout Social is a beautifully-built reporting tool with social publishing bolted on. Neword is a writing-and-shipping tool with reports that write themselves. Different center of gravity, different price.

Sprout is the strongest reporting tool in the category — we mean that. But if writing and shipping is 80% of your week, the rest of the page matters more.

We loved Sprout's reports. We didn't love paying $4,200 a month for three seats. Neword's AI reports are 90% of what we got from Sprout, at a tenth of the bill.

Questions from Sprout users.
The three questions we hear most from teams evaluating against Sprout.
Are Neword's analytics as deep as Sprout's?
For publishing performance, yes — engagement, reach, best times, audience demographics, all in. For cross-network competitive benchmarking, Sprout is still stronger; we ship that this summer.
Do you support listening / brand monitoring?
Not today. If social listening is your primary use case, Sprout is the right tool. If it's a nice-to-have and publishing is your core job, Neword wins on price and workflow.
Will I lose the Sprout reports my execs love?
We'll replicate your three most-used Sprout dashboards during onboarding — same metrics, same layout, exportable to PDF for your monthly review. Takes about 45 minutes.
What about compliance / audit logs?
SOC 2 Type II, GDPR DPA on file. Full audit log on every edit, publish, and approval. The Agencies tier adds SSO, SCIM, and role-based access.
Most Sprout → Neword moves land on the 5-brand plan at $49/mo, billed monthly.
