Buyer's guide
This is editorial "best for" guidance, not a ranking. Every tool below moderates Facebook and Instagram comments — the right one depends on your team, your volume, and how ads-focused you are. All claims are dated and sourced as of May 2026.
Best for: Paid-Meta advertisers wanting ad-level intelligence at volume pricing
ROAS Shield is built only for paid Facebook and Instagram ad comments. Every comment shows campaign, ad-set, and ad context so you can filter by campaign and tune rules per-ad, with volume-based pricing at £199/mo for up to 500,000 comments. It is the focused option for advertisers who care about ad-level attribution rather than a broad social suite.

Sprout Social is an enterprise social platform with deep cross-network publishing, listening, and analytics, where comment moderation sits inside its unified Smart Inbox.

It is priced per seat (per user/mo; exact per-user figures vary across sources, so check hootsuite.com/plans), making it a fit for teams that want one tool for their entire social workflow rather than a focused ad-comment moderator (hootsuite.com, as of June 2026).
