Sprout for the suite. Synapt for the scroll.
A lighter alternative when you don’t need enterprise social ops.
Sprout Social is built for teams that need listening, publishing, and reporting in one platform. Synapt is a Chrome extension: view velocity on X, reply drafts in your voice.
The problem
Enterprise suites are overkill for feed operators
If you're the person actually replying, not managing a social org chart, you may not need a suite.
Heavy for the job
Dashboards and seats cost more when your workflow is open feed → spot heat → reply.
Far from the post
Suite UIs pull you out of the feed. Synapt drafts under the post you’re already reading.
Voice still yours to protect
Brand libraries help teams. Solo operators need drafts that match how they personally write.
Honest take
Different jobs. Be honest about which one you need.
Sprout Socialand Synapt aren't drop-in replacements. Pick the tool that matches the work you actually do.

How it works
From install to first reply
Minutes, not a migration. No content calendar to rebuild. Just the feed you already live in.
Install the Chrome extension
Add Synapt from the Chrome Web Store. Sign in, paste your API key once. It lives under the posts you already read.
Spot what's still heating up
On X, see view velocity on posts in real time. Filter toward Fired Posts when you want signal, not another cold scroll.
Add a short Knowledge Base
Who you are, what you build, how you sound. Optional, but it keeps drafts from reading like generic AI.
Draft, edit, ship
Generate under the post, tighten the line, post while the thread is still moving. You stay in control of every send.
