Before you choose
Match the platform to your workflow
Platform coverage varies across web, API, Android, iOS, self-hosted and Windows. Check the listed platform against the places your team needs to capture or review content.
A web option may suit browser-based work, while an API or self-hosted deployment may fit an existing system. Confirm the platform before comparing other features.
Compare free access and paid terms
Tools can list a free plan, a free trial, paid pricing or pricing on request. Social Archiver lists a free plan with paid service from $3.99 per month.
Sharp Archive lists service from $75 per month with a 30-day trial. Archive Intel lists pricing from $12 per user per month.
Check retention and legal hold
Retention options show how an archive keeps records over time. Legal hold matters when content must remain preserved for a matter or review.
Compare these fields directly rather than relying on the pricing label.
Review search and export tools
Advanced search can affect how quickly you locate archived content. Export formats determine how records move into another workflow.
Check the formats and search functions listed for the tool before choosing an archive.
Ask how often content is captured
Capture frequency indicates how often a service records social activity. Compare this field with the timing your archive requires.
A tool's source coverage and capture frequency should fit the channels you need to preserve.
