About Gain
Simply put: Gain is client feedback for social media content, made easy.
Mid-sized and large Marketing teams across 51 countries trust Gain with social media content for over 9,000 brands because Gain incorporates the layer of client feedback and approvals to their social media workflow.
Basically, Gain automates the entire content workflow, notifying the right people at the right time when it’s their turn to give feedback or make changes.
Imagine that: your team can create and publish content to Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, Twitter, and Google Business Profile in the same platform that follows up on your clients, gathering feedback and timely approvals!
Gain has what your social media tool is missing!
With all the social media tools out there, it can be very hard to choose the right one, so we’ll make it easy for you. Gain was specifically designed to eliminate your team’s biggest time-zapper: client management.
To all the basic features of a social media management tool (like content calendars, performance metrics, and auto-publishing to social media networks), Gain added the game-changing feature that helps agencies manage clients at scale: the automated approval workflows.
Finally, agency and clients in the same place, and no one wasting their time.

A friendly yet powerful option to manage your social media content

One of the main tools of our day to day operations
Pros
GAIN is an easy to use tool that gives you a pletora of features to manage, schedule and oganize your content. You can set different permissions to different type of users, create approval workflows and manage a complete social media schedule. A must have for every digital marketer.
Cons
The feature to leave a comment for a colleague could be a little confusing. In the approval process sometimes you need to leave a note or point to a certain area of the content and you just can leave a comment, not a "post it" over the content.
Response from Big Propeller
Hey Cesar, thanks for your review and calling Gain a "must-have" tool for digital marketing you made the whole team blush! We're glad you're taking advantage of the user-specific permissions, approval workflows, and social media tools.
Please feel free to email [email protected] or schedule a call with us at calendly.com.gain to share your experience with the comments so we can learn more about your use case and see how we can improve it. And we'll keep you posted on when we can bring the Annotations experience ("post it") that we currently have for marketing files to social media content!

Use Gain app to effortlessly schedule social content across multiple channels
Reviewed on 2022/02/18
Pros
The Gain app is so easy to set up social media channel marketing across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn (plus other channels). We use the calendar view to easily know which posts will appear on specific channels. Posts can be scheduled and we trust they will deliver on time. One of the best features of the app is the review and approval process. We can send posts out for review and monitor changes and approvals. We work within a compliance-controlled industry and this review process is critical to our workflow.
Cons
The Gain app is really solid but one aspect of the app that can be improved is the ability to sort and prioritize content tags. We can search the content tags to find specific posts but it would be nice to be able to order the tags by our preference to aid in search.

HootsuiteReasons for Switching to Gain
We chose Gain over Hootsuite based on a lower price for Gain but also because of a high recommendation by our agency partner.Response from Big Propeller

Great product but struggles to address key issues
Reviewed on 2019/07/17
Pros
It's easy to use, lots of good tools for agencies, far better than other similar products
Cons
Every now and then bits of the tool break. The most recent has caused major problems for us and the clients but seem to be a low priority for the GAIN team. For example, in this case, posts are not displaying properly on LinkedIn. We get these issues aren't always in GAIN's control but would appreciate more urgency and communication around the problem.

I love it! Gain is pretty much the most used platform. I've been using for years and it's an easy and efficent way to het things done. Also, it makes my client's approval process easier.
Pros
Gain has been a crucial part of running my small business. As a social media manager, it's great to have a tool that makes the approval part with the client so easy.
Cons
I wish that Stories had it's own option, since I need to plan them for both IG and Facebook. Also, wish the uploading of said content wasn't manual.
Response from Big Propeller
Hey Emily, thanks for your review! That Gain is pretty much your most used platform and that it makes your client's approval process easier is music to our ears :-)

Simple and hassle free scheduling
Reviewed on 2022/02/18
Pros
The visual aspect of Gain and its calendar or list grid with image and previews makes it a dream to see everything at a glance. It is easy to recycle or duplicate older posts.
Cons
There is no search function, this would be a useful function to look for old posts rather than scrolling through the list view. I wish we could also search for popular hashtags.
Response from Big Propeller
Hi Sébastien, we're so glad you find Gain easy to use and that the calendar and list views make it easy to see everything at a glance. Have you tried the newer Gallery view? Its larger images, combined with the filters, come in handy when you're looking for something specific, since you don't have to hover for a preview. Thanks for leaving a review!
Also, thanks for your feedback on the hashtags, and although we don't have a timeline for it yet, the search function is in our list of projects to tackle, so stay tuned! If you're curious, check out our list of projects in our roadmap, where you can upvote projects and suggest new features. You can access the Product Roadmap from your Account menu in Gain.
