Extremely dishonest and non transparent
My experience with Sprout has been nothing but disappointment, frustration and financial burden. First, the service is EXTREMELY expensive, especially for agencies providing social media management to their clients. I was promised in my sales meeting that I did not need to have a separate user account for each client (An additional $399 USD PER MONTH - PER USER) because I could use the external approvers feature which was included with the professional plan. Got talked into signing a 12 month contract like many others and only afterward did I find out that they only allow 3 external approvers for the whole account. Completely different than what I was told in the sales meeting. I've used a lot of Social Media Management softwares and honestly I don't find Sprout any better or more beneficial than the other options, it's just 10X the price. I'm locked in with this horrible company for another 10 months, and I'm making it my goal to warn as many people as possible to stay away from this company.
