Alternative 1 of 5
Postocial
Postocial fits NapoleonCat users who publish more than they moderate. Every plan publishes to 14 networks, from €19.99 a month, and Premium and higher plans, from €29.99, add the inbox with WhatsApp Business, a Telegram bot, SMS and website chat. Its comment automations can hide or delete comments by keyword, but moderation-heavy teams should compare NapoleonCat's auto-moderation rules closely.
