One post, every network's extras.

Write the post once. Give Instagram its own text, add a first comment with your hashtags, invite up to 3 collaborators, and see the preview on each network before it goes out.

  • Up to 10 photos: a Facebook album and an Instagram carousel.
  • One video, or an Instagram Story.
  • A post that fails on one account shows why, with Try again.

Ask Sam to post for you.

Type what you want in Ask Sam, with a photo if you like. He writes the post, picks the time you said, and shows you the draft. Nothing goes out until you confirm.

  • "Post this on Instagram Friday at 9."
  • "Move tomorrow's post to Monday."
  • "Why didn't yesterday's post go out on Instagram?"

Change it by asking.

Your app isn’t frozen on day one. Write what you need, the way you’d text it. Alori makes the change and shows you before anything goes live.

  • Post this photo on Instagram Friday at 9
  • Show me the posts scheduled this week
  • Change our Facebook Page's phone number
  • Which Instagram comments are still waiting for an answer?

The full guide

Everything above, in detail: how it works, what it replaces and what it does not.

Short answer: Alori is a Sprout Social alternative for small software companies and agencies that post on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok and want comments and messages on the customer's record, next to their deals. Every plan has unlimited users, against a price per seat on Sprout. Switching is one sign-in with Facebook. If you need listening and deep social reports, Sprout stays the stronger tool.

Why teams leave Sprout Social

Sprout Social is a social media suite that larger teams like for its inbox, reports and listening. Small teams leave it for the bill:

  • Plans start at $79 a seat a month billed yearly, and Standard is $199 a seat, so five people pay five times.
  • Essentials and Standard connect 5 social profiles. Unlimited profiles start on Professional, at $299 a seat.
  • The Smart Inbox shows the comment, but the customer's deals and emails live in a CRM, through an integration.

What Alori replaces

  • In Social media, write a post once and send it to your Facebook Page, Instagram and TikTok, now or at a set time. Up to 10 photos or one video, Instagram Stories, a first comment, up to 3 Instagram collaborators and a preview per network.
  • Facebook and Instagram comments, Messenger and Instagram messages land in Conversations, on the person's record with their deals, emails and calls. Answer a comment in public or privately, with internal notes and saved replies.
  • Ask Sam "post this photo on Instagram Friday at 9". He writes the draft, and it goes out once you confirm.
  • Facebook and Instagram lead forms land on your pipeline as new deals. See Facebook and Instagram.
  • Customers, deals, email campaigns and your website are in the same app.

What Alori doesn't do yet

Posting to LinkedIn, X, Threads or Pinterest, social listening, competitor and paid reports, sentiment, approval workflows and employee advocacy. A content calendar with client approvals is coming soon. If your team reports on social to leadership every month, tracks brand mentions or posts mainly on LinkedIn, stay on Sprout Social.

How to switch

  1. Start free. Describe your business and paste your website. Alori builds your app with your customers, Conversations and Social media.
  2. Connect Facebook & Instagram. In Alori, open Connectors and sign in with Facebook, then pick your Pages. Connect TikTok the same way if you post there.
  3. Move your scheduled posts. They don't come over from Sprout. Paste the next few in Ask Sam with their dates, check each draft and confirm, then delete them in Sprout.
  4. Bring your contacts. Export your contacts from your CRM or Sprout as a list, paste it in Ask Sam with "Add these customers:", and Alori adds them, with an Undo button.

Questions

Another question? Ask it when you start.

For a small team that posts on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok and wants its social inbox inside its CRM, yes. For listening, rich reports and LinkedIn, Sprout Social stays the better fit.

Yes. A team of 5 pays from $99 a month on Alori's Solo plan, everyone included, against $395 to $1,495 a month in Sprout seats.

Alori has a free plan with no card needed and unlimited users. You connect Facebook and Instagram and post for free, then buy credits or pick a plan when you use AI, texts or calls.

Your accounts reconnect in one sign-in with Facebook, and your contacts come over as a pasted list. Scheduled posts, reports and past inbox messages don't come over.

Small software companies and agencies, usually under 50 people.
