The short answer, and our bias
The best employee advocacy software depends less on features than on one question: do you want employees to reshare content the company prepared, or to write their own version of it? Most platforms are built for the first. A few are built for the second. Decide that, and the shortlist of employee advocacy platforms below gets short quickly.
Our bias, plainly: we make Blabigo, and it is first on this list. It is first for a specific kind of team — LinkedIn-first companies that want people writing their own posts — not for everyone. Further down we say exactly who should not pick it. The other eight are described from their own websites as of October 2026, with no prices we could not see published there and no ratings. If we got something wrong about a competitor, tell us and we will fix it.

"Curated content" is a simplification: nearly every platform lets employees edit the suggested caption before sharing. The difference is what the product is designed to encourage — fast, wide resharing, or slower, personal posts. Both are legitimate; they produce very different programs.
1. Blabigo
Who it is for: B2B companies where LinkedIn is the network that matters, and where the goal is colleagues posting in their own words rather than resharing the company's. Typically small and mid-size teams starting a first program.
Notable strengths: You group people into advocacy teams, create campaigns that hold the raw material for posts, and assign each campaign to one or more teams. Every member sees their campaigns, edits the copy into their own voice, and publishes from their own connected LinkedIn account — nothing is ever posted on anyone's behalf. Shares, impressions, clicks, likes, comments and engagement rate roll up per campaign, per team and per person. Posts can be sent for advisory review to a colleague or an external reviewer by email, without blocking publishing. Each person also gets scheduling, an AI post generator, formatting tools and their own LinkedIn analytics, and there is an MCP server so AI assistants can draft and queue posts.
Limitations — who should not pick it: If you need more than LinkedIn (Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok), look elsewhere. If your program depends on points, leaderboards or rewards, Blabigo has none. If you are a large enterprise that needs SSO, Slack or Teams integrations, a mobile app or approval gates that block publishing, the enterprise platforms below are a better fit.
Pricing model: Published. Employee advocacy is on the Business plan, €49.99 per month with five seats included and extra seats at €8 a month each, with a 7-day free trial. Details on pricing, and a walkthrough of a pilot inside the trial in the free trial guide.
2. EveryoneSocial
Who it is for: Large organisations running advocacy across marketing, sales, recruiting and executives, particularly in regulated industries. Its own pricing page talks in terms of programs from 500-person pilots to rollouts of 50,000 or more.
Notable strengths: An established enterprise platform that describes itself as having pioneered the category. It puts weight on governance for regulated industries — pre-approval workflows, archiving integrations and audit trails — and lists SSO and SCIM as standard rather than as a premium tier. It also offers a separate executive activation product and company page insights.
Limitations: Built and priced for scale; a 30-person company will be paying for machinery it does not need. Like most enterprise platforms, the default motion is sharing curated content, so the authenticity of posts depends on how hard your team pushes personal commentary.
Pricing model: Quote-based, one plan priced by number of users, annual terms.
3. DSMN8
Who it is for: Mid-size and enterprise programs that want a full-featured, multi-network platform with incentives built in.
Notable strengths: Content can be targeted by team, region or language, and DSMN8 highlights a "Personal Voice AI" feature designed to avoid everyone posting identical text — a genuine attempt at the duplicate-content problem. It includes a gamification engine with company and team leaderboards and real prizes, auto-scheduling for employees, newsletters, executive-focused modules, and integrations with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, Marketo and Adobe Analytics. It also publishes a lot of useful free material on running programs.
Limitations: The gamified, high-volume model suits some cultures and grates in others. Auto-scheduling means people can share without engaging much with what they share — check whether that is the program you want. More in our DSMN8 alternative comparison.
Pricing model: Custom quote, based on seats, modules and add-ons; unlimited admin seats.
4. Haiilo
Who it is for: Organisations that want employee advocacy and internal communications — intranet, newsletters, employee apps — from one vendor. Haiilo was formed when Smarp, a well-known advocacy platform, merged with the intranet company COYO in 2021; if you are searching for Smarp, this is where it went.
Notable strengths: Web and mobile apps, personal and admin analytics, an email digest, smart-share timing, automated UTM tagging and LinkedIn impressions analytics. The top tier adds SSO, white labelling, Slack and Teams sharing, perks and rewards, and executive ghostwriting.
Limitations: The entry plan has a 100-seat minimum, so it is not built for small pilots. If you only need advocacy, much of the wider suite will be surplus.
Pricing model: Published starting point: employee advocacy from $15 per seat per month on the Starter plan, minimum 100 seats; higher tiers by quote.
5. Poppulo (formerly Sociabble)
Who it is for: Large organisations, including ones with big frontline workforces, that want advocacy as part of an employee experience platform. Poppulo acquired Sociabble in May 2026, and Sociabble is now the Poppulo Experience Platform.
Notable strengths: Mature advocacy features from the Sociabble side — content organised by theme, department or region, a leader-advocacy workflow where comms teams prepare posts for executives to review and publish from their phones, buyer-intent metrics, and gamification with points, badges, leaderboards and rewards — combined with Poppulo's intranet, multichannel communications and digital signage.
Limitations: A broad suite that is mid-integration after an acquisition; if you only want advocacy, ask what the roadmap looks like for the standalone use case.
Pricing model: Contact vendor.
6. Sprout Social Employee Advocacy
Who it is for: Teams already using Sprout Social for publishing and analytics who want advocacy in the same place.
Notable strengths: Admins add shareable content and pre-approved message ideas; employees can follow topics, suggest content, use it in their preferred language, and share from desktop or a mobile app. Content can be pushed to people through Slack or Microsoft Teams; there is gamification, UTM tracking and reporting tied to leads and traffic.
Limitations: It is an add-on to a social media management suite, so its value is highest if you already use, or want, the rest of Sprout.
Pricing model: Sold as an add-on to Sprout Social plans; contact vendor.
7. Hootsuite Parliament (formerly Amplify)
Who it is for: Hootsuite Enterprise customers. Hootsuite's employee advocacy product, long known as Amplify, has been renamed Parliament and is part of its wider suite; on Hootsuite's plans page it is listed under the Enterprise plan.
Notable strengths: Pre-approved, on-brand content that employees share across their networks in a click, leaderboards and recognition, and analytics on shares, clicks and top advocates. Hootsuite has also launched a Parliament MCP so AI assistants can work with advocacy content — the same idea as Blabigo's MCP server.
Limitations: Tied to an enterprise Hootsuite contract; not a standalone purchase for a small team. The one-click model favours reach over personal voice. See our Hootsuite Amplify alternative page for a closer comparison.
Pricing model: Included with Hootsuite Enterprise; contact vendor.
8. Ambassify
Who it is for: European mid-market companies, and organisations that want to activate dealers, franchisees or partners as well as employees. Ambassify is based in Belgium.
Notable strengths: In-app microlearning on social media practice, a campaign catalogue of templates, an AI assistant for captions and translations, leaderboards, gamification and rewards, and reporting on reach, clicks and engagement. Its top tier adds SSO, SCIM provisioning and Microsoft Teams embedding.
Limitations: The participation model leans on points and rewards, which some teams find works against authenticity. More in our Ambassify alternative comparison.
Pricing model: Pricing on request, with tiers by company size (the entry tier is aimed at companies of up to 200 employees).
9. Oktopost
Who it is for: B2B marketing teams that want social media management, social listening and employee advocacy in one tool.
Notable strengths: Advocacy sits next to publishing and B2B-focused attribution, so you can connect employee shares to the rest of your social reporting. It uses gamification and leaderboards to sustain participation.
Limitations: If you only need advocacy, you are buying a broader suite.
Pricing model: Annual plans; quote depends on team size and add-ons.
Also worth a look
- GaggleAMP — advocacy platform with unlimited members on every plan and Slack and Teams built in; custom pricing.
- Clearview Social — a simpler tool with one-click sharing to LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter/X, plus leaderboards; one of the few that publishes prices, from $425 a month billed annually for its smallest plan.
A note on LinkedIn's own tools. LinkedIn retired its paid advocacy product, Elevate, at the end of 2020, and phased out the free "My Company" and employee advocacy tabs on company pages from November 2024. If you used either, there is no native LinkedIn replacement today — which is one reason this category has grown.
How to choose employee advocacy software
Start with the program, not the software. If you have not decided who takes part, what they will post about and how often, no platform will decide it for you — the 90-day program plan covers that. Then answer three questions:
- Which networks matter? If it is LinkedIn alone, a LinkedIn-first tool will do that one thing more deeply. If you need Instagram or TikTok too, you need a multi-network platform.
- Reshare or rewrite? Do you want maximum reach from identical posts, or fewer, personal posts? Most programs that fail, fail on this — see why employee advocacy programs fail.
- How big, and how regulated? Hundreds of users, SSO, compliance archiving and approval gates point to the enterprise platforms. A pilot of five to fifty does not.
Questions to ask any vendor
- Can an employee rewrite the post completely, or only tweak a suggested caption?
- Does anything ever get posted to an employee's account without them pressing publish? Auto-scheduling, ghostwriting and "post on behalf" features vary a lot.
- What does it cost for our number of people, including the minimum seat count and any admin seats?
- Can we report per person and per team, not just totals? Breadth of participation is the metric that predicts success — see employee advocacy metrics.
- How do you calculate "earned media value", and would you show us the assumptions?
- Can we run a real pilot with our own people before signing an annual contract?
- What happens to our data and our employees' connected accounts if we leave?
The last but one matters most. A demo shows you the software; a pilot shows you whether your people will use it. If you want to try the rewrite model, Blabigo's employee advocacy starts with a 7-day free trial and no sales call.
