Social Moderator AI: a Sprout Social free alternative

Sprout Social is a full-featured social media management platform covering publishing, analytics, listening, and a social inbox - but starts at $249/user/month, and comment moderation is just one small part of a very large suite.

Why teams choose us instead

Fraction of the price: Sprout Social starts at $249/user/month. Our plans start at €10/month and are built for teams who need moderation, not a full enterprise suite.
Built for moderation: Comment moderation is our entire product. In Sprout Social it's one inbox feature among dozens of tools you may never use.
Visible AI reasoning: Every AI decision is explained. Sprout Social's automation rules act silently - no reasoning surfaced to your team.
Plain-English rules: Write moderation rules the way you think. Sprout Social uses keyword triggers and rule builders, not intent-based AI.
