Switching gives your team time back.
Questions teams ask before switching.
Real answers, the kind you'd get from a salesperson on their third coffee, not a help-center article written by a robot.
How easy is it to switch from Brandwatch to Kontentino?
Switching is straightforward. Your team can set up Kontentino, connect social accounts, and start creating posts within a day. Kontentino's interface is built around scheduling, approvals, and collaboration, so the transition feels natural for anyone used to day-to-day content management.
There is no complex data migration required: you start fresh with a clean calendar and invite your team. Your existing scheduled posts can continue publishing from Brandwatch during the transition, so there is no gap in your output. And if you need a hand, our dedicated specialists are here to help.
Can I import my content calendar from Brandwatch?
Kontentino doesn't offer a one-click import from Brandwatch, but most teams can rebuild their calendar quickly thanks to the drag-and-drop interface. If your content is in a CSV format, it can be imported directly into Kontentino.
Your existing scheduled posts can continue publishing from Brandwatch while you get set up. The Kontentino support team can also help you plan the transition and get your team up and running.
How long does Kontentino onboarding take?
Most teams are fully operational within one day. The interface is designed around the natural social media workflow: create a post, get feedback, approve it, schedule it.
Kontentino also includes free onboarding with a dedicated specialist, plus video tutorials and live support for any questions that come up. If your team is currently on a platform built around enterprise listening and analytics, the shift to a publishing-first interface typically feels faster than expected.
When does it make sense to move on from Brandwatch?
The clearest signal is when your team is paying for enterprise-grade listening and analytics but spending most of their time working around Brandwatch's publishing and scheduling tools.
If you've added a second brand or client to manage, taken on a team member who needs to review content before it goes live, or had a manager ask to approve posts before they publish, Kontentino is built for exactly that stage.
How does Kontentino compare to Brandwatch for social media management?
Brandwatch is a broad consumer intelligence and social listening platform whose social media management features were added through the Falcon.io acquisition. Kontentino focuses specifically on the content workflow: planning, collaboration, approvals, and scheduling.
If your team's main priority is managing day-to-day content publishing with clear approval workflows, Kontentino is built for that job. If deep social listening, brand monitoring, and consumer intelligence are your core needs, Brandwatch has significantly more capability in those areas.
Is Brandwatch cheaper than Kontentino?
Brandwatch doesn't publish public pricing. It's quote-based and requires a sales conversation, with annual contracts as the standard model. Kontentino's Starter plan starts at €49/month with all prices published on the website.
That said, Brandwatch includes social listening, influencer marketing, and enterprise analytics that Kontentino doesn't offer. The comparison depends on whether you're paying for features your team actually uses. We're not the cheapest option in the market, and we don't try to be. We win on what happens between content being created and going live.
What does Kontentino offer that Brandwatch doesn't?
Kontentino's core differentiators are its purpose-built approval workflow (multi-level review chains, clear status visibility, bulk review), its publishing-first content calendar (visual drag-and-drop, cross-posting, fast uploads), and its transparent self-serve pricing.
Kontentino is also EU-headquartered and GDPR-compliant by design, which matters for European agencies and brands. Brandwatch offers social listening, consumer intelligence, influencer marketing, paid ad management, and enterprise analytics that Kontentino doesn't provide. The right choice depends on whether your primary pain point is content workflows or consumer intelligence.
Is Brandwatch good for agencies managing multiple brands?
Brandwatch is a strong choice for agencies running large-scale social listening, consumer intelligence research, and enterprise analytics across multiple clients.
For agencies that spend most of their time planning, creating, reviewing, and publishing social content across multiple brands, Kontentino is a better fit. Kontentino's transparent pricing also makes budgeting simpler: you know exactly what a plan costs before you add a brand or bring on a new team member.
Can I use Kontentino alongside Brandwatch?
Yes, and some teams do exactly that. If your organization relies on Brandwatch for social listening and consumer intelligence but finds its publishing and scheduling tools frustrating for daily content work, you can keep Brandwatch for insights and move your content workflow to Kontentino.
The two platforms don't need to integrate directly: Brandwatch informs your strategy, Kontentino executes it. This setup lets your team get the strengths of both without compromising on either.
Does Kontentino support approvals for teams managing multiple brands?
Yes. Kontentino's approval workflow is built for multi-brand environments. You can set up separate review chains for each brand, assign different team members as approvers, and see the status of every post across all your brands in one calendar view.
Team members see only the brands they are assigned to, which keeps things organized when you're managing ten or more brands at the same time.
Does Kontentino have social listening or brand monitoring?
No. Kontentino doesn't include social listening, sentiment analysis, or consumer intelligence features. The platform focuses entirely on content planning, collaboration, approval workflows, and publishing.
If social listening is a core part of your strategy, Brandwatch, Sprout Social, or dedicated listening tools are better options for that capability. Many Kontentino users pair Kontentino with a separate listening tool when monitoring is needed.
What platforms does Kontentino support for publishing?
Kontentino supports publishing to Facebook, Instagram (including Reels and Stories), LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads.
You can schedule and publish across all these channels from one content calendar, adapt copy per channel when cross-posting, and preview how each post will look before it goes live.
