$249 Per User Is Not
"Enterprise Pricing."

The Per-User Pricing Trap
"We hired someone. Our bill went up $3,000."
Per-user pricing punishes growth. Add a teammate, multiply the cost. Build a team, break the budget. Sprout charges like it's 2015.
"Our renewal came with a 'price adjustment.'"
Standard: $249. Advanced: $399. Enterprise: "Contact us." The treadmill never stops. Every year, higher. Every feature, gated.
"Half our team doesn't even use half the features."
Your designer needs to schedule 3 posts a week. That's $2,988/year. Your intern needs read-only access. Same price. It's insulting.
"I spend more time justifying the cost than using it."
Every budget meeting. Every new hire request. "Can we afford another Sprout seat?" You're managing spreadsheets instead of social media.
Sprout Social is great software.
It's also priced like they're selling to Fortune 500s — because they are. You're not a Fortune 500. You shouldn't pay like one.

What Sprout Users Say (About Making the Switch)
"We were paying $14,940 a year for Sprout. Beacon does everything we need for $588. I showed my CFO the math and she literally laughed."
— Michael C., Marketing Director
"The inbox is just as good. The AI is better. And I don't feel sick every time we hire someone new."
— Laura S., Head of Social
"Sprout was overkill for us but we needed the inbox. Beacon gave us everything we used from Sprout for 96% less. This shouldn't be legal."
— James T., Content Manager
