Pluspoint vs

- Social, reviews & listings in one
- Omnichannel inbox included
- Published pricing from $39/location
Why franchises look for a SOCi alternative
The friction shows up exactly where daily work happens. Users report error-prone Instagram replies, review images that never load, an outdated and cluttered interface, and setup changes that locked teams out of their own accounts for days.
G2 Login and Store Hours Update Changes Made Setup Frustrating
“They changed the way they did store hour update requests a bit ago and we weren't able to log in. It took a really long time for them to set us up and get us logged in and that was super annoying.”
G2 Great All-in-One Platform, But Instagram Comment Replies Are Error-Prone
“There tends to be a lot of errors when responding to Instagram comments.”
G2 Efficient Post Scheduling with Room for UI Improvement
“I find the interface a bit outdated. It doesn't have drag-and-drop functionality on the calendar, for example. The interface feels a little cluttered.”
G2 Social Engagements and Google Reviews
“Review images don't show up on the platform and it's very clunky to use.”
