Sprout Social is a capable enterprise social media platform, but you still have to write every caption, design every image, and plan every post yourself. Rented Services does all of that for you - strategy, content creation, scheduling, publishing, and reporting - for a flat monthly price with no contracts.
Sprout Social is built for mid-market and enterprise teams that have in-house content creators and need deep analytics. Rented Services is built for small and local businesses that want the content created for them. If you do not have a marketing team writing your posts, Rented Services is the better fit.
