I spent dozens of hours last year surveying content creation software and services for project which ultimately did not get off the ground unfortunately, and this one was among them. Actually I tried their paid trial and it was my favorite of the paid options at the time and still remains an awesome software as a service in my opinion. There is keyword based content sourcing which returns a ton of relevant topic centric content to select and curate. There is a smart calendar and scheduling feature so you can get ahead. You can publish to several social media networks though it differs according to your plan. There are several valuable integrations with popular marketing automation softwares. The content management integrations are solid as well and includes Wordpress, Wix, SquareSpace, Joomla and Drupal which covers most of the major CMS. I also discovered you can utilize Zapier to integrate with Shopify stores which was the basis for our failed project however I still believe this is an awesome combination.

I had contacted their support to confirm whether there were monthly paid options as it simply wasn't viable to commit for an entire year for the side project we were hoping to launch. I really wish they enabled CMS integration with their lowest level paid plan. I believe they would secure a whole lot more market share by enabling solo entrepreneurs and bloggers to utilize it on a single site at this pricing even with a yearly commitment. While this would not alienate bigger businesses which would naturally need more options.

Other than the pricing this was my favorite of the content curation tools and still is. I did end up discovering a great free Chrome plugin for content curation though it was in beta at the time so wasn't quite as reliable as I would have liked though their support were terrific and they were working hard to improve it daily. I'm sure it's come a long ways since. Otherwise, if you have the budget and need of a great content curation option this is the best in my opinion. And I had tried out at least ten directly for this purpose. I look forward to utilize it for my new project as soon as possible. Highly recommended.
