Hell Netlover,

Its hard to say what is better depending on your needs. But one aspect to consider is the cost.  Hootsuite offers a great individual plan http://signup.hootsuite.com/plans-cc/ with which a lot can be accomplished for free.  Sprout Social on the other hand, has a free trial, but all plans include fees: https://sproutsocial.com/pricing.  From my use of both Sprout is more advanced tool for advanced social media analysis, and study.

Hope this helps, and what are some tasks you are looking to accomplish?

I have personally used Hootesuite and Sprout Social also seems a promising tool to me!

If you are asking for normal Social Media management tool which does not required any advance feature then my idea is to take a trial version of both tools and see what fits your need and if both tools can get your work done, just check the prices and make the decision (No Rocket Science).

Ive used both and it depends what you are looking for.

Sprout Social

• Nicer Interface
• Better reports and engaging
• Geo-targeting

But no bulk uploading.

Hootsuite

• bulk uploading
• cheaper
• more social media channels

But no geo-targetting or gating posts (only enterprise version)

Thanks so much for your responses. I would be using it to manage clients' social media presence across platforms.
