Clearview Social vs Sprout Social Employee Advocacy

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

Clearview Social is the simplest and lowest-priced published option in this category: approved posts go to employees by email, Slack or Teams for one-click sharing, starting at $425 a month for 50 employees billed annually. It is built for law, accounting, staffing and other professional services firms.

Where Clearview Social fits

  • Law, accounting and professional services firms
  • Staffing and recruiting firms with 50 to 100 sharers
  • Small marketing teams wanting quick setup
  • Firms that want posts sent by email

Sprout Social Employee Advocacy, formerly Bambu, is an add-on for teams already on Sprout Social: admins curate content, employees share it from a feed, newsletters, Slack or a mobile app, and results come back as earned media value and UTM tracking. It needs Sprout's Standard plan or higher, from $199 per seat a month billed annually, plus the unpublished add-on price.

Where Sprout Social Employee Advocacy fits

  • Teams already using Sprout Social
  • Marketing teams reporting advocacy as earned media value
  • Companies sharing for both sales and talent pipeline
  • Programs that want employees on a dedicated mobile app

Where they pull apart

Clearview Social

Stands out: Setup is light (upload employee emails and start sharing), a Virtual Assistant can post to profiles hands free, and corporate posting and content discovery are included. Recruiting is a named use case, staffing firms are among its customer industries, and Business adds referral and campaign tracking.

Watch out: Team is capped at 50 employees and one admin, SSO is Enterprise only, and pricing is annual with no free trial listed. There is no documented public API. Clearview Social is owned by ProfitSolv.

Not the right fit for

  • Large enterprises needing deep segmentation
  • Teams wanting a free trial or monthly billing

Sprout Social Employee Advocacy

Stands out: Content moves straight from Sprout's publishing workflow into advocacy with Send to Advocacy, so the social team does not manage a second tool, and dedicated iOS and Android advocacy apps serve employees. Sprout pitches it for attracting talent as well as sales leads, without raising ad spend.

Watch out: You must already pay for a Sprout Social plan, and the add-on price is not published. Sprout's AI features are documented for its core plans, not for advocacy specifically.

Not the right fit for

  • Organisations not using Sprout Social
  • Buyers who need advocacy pricing upfront
