The Sprout Social bill
Seats, plans and reporting options shape the price
Sprout sells a connected social suite. Compare the work you need every week with the plan and connections you currently pay for.
A price for each person
Advanced lists US$399 per seat each month on annual billing. The licence cost follows the number of people with seats.
The annual commitment
The published Advanced annual-billing rate is US$4,788 per seat over a year. Check your agreement for the total and any additional products.
Profile limits change by plan
Standard includes five social profiles. Professional and Advanced list unlimited profiles. More profiles and more people are different parts of the buying decision.
Reporting follows the plan
Professional includes competitor, tag and paid insights. Advanced adds team productivity and social customer care reports.
Premium Analytics is an add-on
Sprout documents extra report controls under Premium Analytics, including custom metric selections in the Post Performance export. Compare those controls with the reports your team actually uses.
Enterprise has a tailored price
Enterprise pricing is custom. Its listed services include onboarding and implementation, so compare the agreed package rather than treating the entry price as the whole bill.
Your owned records
A content week with a clear decision trail
Plan
Know which posts need a decision
Read the planned week with owners, overdue work and profiles that have nothing coming up.
- check A dated content plan for each profile
- check Campaign objectives beside the posts
- check Unassigned work separated from named owners
- check A weekly review that combines blockers and results
Review
Keep the approval attached to the exact wording
A person records a decision against one version. Editing the reviewed content or timing makes that decision stale.
- check Reviewer name and evidence recorded together
- check Changed content returns to draft
- check Advertising identification evidence checked by jurisdiction
- check Known asset expiry checked against intended use
Results
Keep repeat exports from inflating the report
Each post keeps its dated observations. Reports use the latest one and leave missing results unknown.
- check Latest impressions, engagements and clicks
- check Old observations retained for comparison
- check Missing-click counts beside known campaign totals
- check Campaign progress reviewed with its exported results
Ownership
Make the review match your business
Keep the underlying records and adapt the questions, evidence checks and documents to your own process.
- check Original export columns retained for checking
- check Campaign briefs in your business colours
- check Approval records showing the reviewed version
- check Your own fields and reports added as the work changes

Ten questions your owned records can answer
These questions run against the working demo. Bring your own review rules and export history to make them yours.
Switching
How to switch from Sprout Social
A move involves exporting the post history you want to keep, checking how its fields map, then running the new records alongside your current process before switching.
- 1
Choose what to move
Before you move anything, decide which published post history you need and which workflows still depend on Sprout. The import brings across published post text, profile identity, dates, links and selected performance results from the Post Performance report. Media, inbox conversations, saved drafts and old approvals are not included, so decide separately how to retain or handle them.
- 2
Export the post history
Export Sprout Social's Post Performance report as a CSV, including the history you agreed to bring across. Export layouts can vary, so keep the original file and check its columns against the fields you need. The imported records retain the original columns for checking. If you cannot find the report export or need another format, check Sprout Social's current help for your account.
- 3
Test, then load the records
First ask for a test import that shows how the columns will map without saving records. Review the proposed mapping, especially profile, caption, dates and metrics. If the headers differ or a date is ambiguous, agree a field mapping or convert the date before loading. Then load the approved export into the database.
- 4
Review the import results
Check the import's reported mapping and any ambiguous dates, unmatched headers or conflicts before accepting the records. Resolve unclear fields, and review conflicts before updating existing data. Confirm that totals and sample records match the source export, including missing metrics. Keep the original export so you can verify imported values.
- 5
Run both, then switch
For a short period, keep Sprout Social and the new database workflow in use together. Compare a sample of imported posts and performance history with Sprout, and check that your team can use the approval records and reports. Keep your current delivery process for publishing, inbox work and listening until those requirements have a checked replacement. The free build does not handle them.
Where the real effort goes
Most of the work is agreeing which history matters, matching your export's columns to your fields, and setting up your business's ownership, approval and evidence rules. Export layouts vary, and media, inbox conversations, drafts and past approvals need separate decisions. If Enterprise DNA installs and runs your version, they handle the agreed history mapping and setup with you.

Questions
Instead of Sprout Social, answered
Does the free version publish our posts or read our social inbox? expand_more
It handles planning, approval evidence and reporting from exported results. Publishing connections, inbox work and shared review screens are scoped into the version Enterprise DNA builds for you. Keep your current delivery process until those requirements have a checked replacement.
What comes across from Sprout Social? expand_more
Published post text, profile identity, dates, links and selected performance results come from the Post Performance export. Original columns are retained for checking. Export layouts vary, so we test the mapping before moving the agreed history. Media, inbox conversations, saved drafts and old approvals need separate migration decisions.
Will the reports count the same post twice after another export? expand_more
The same post keeps its dated observations. Reports use the latest observation for that post, and missing results remain unknown. Network definitions differ, so your review compares like with like. The original export remains available to check the numbers.
Does the advertising check mean a post is legally approved? expand_more
No. It flags missing identification evidence and applies your operating rules for claim references and known asset expiry. A person still checks the actual advertisement, its wording and presentation. Their decision applies to the recorded version; changes require a fresh review.
Why choose this over another subscription such as Hootsuite? expand_more
Hootsuite is another connected social suite. This route gives you owned records and a review process built around your business. Start with the free version or have Enterprise DNA customise and run your version for a setup fee followed by a retainer. We agree the connections and switch requirements with you before replacing the current service.
