The number of options available when choosing a social media aggregation tool is exhausting. One well-known option is the automated social feed app offered by Flockler. But how do the features and pricing of Flockler’s social wall compare to other tools? See for yourself! In this post, we’ll compare the pricing, integrations, and features of the Flockler social media feed with Juicer’s social media aggregator.
What is a social media feed?
Before we dive into comparing the two services, let’s quickly clarify what a social media feed actually is. A social media feed (also known as a social wall or a social media aggregator) is an online tool used to funnel posts from multiple social networks into one beautiful display feed. These feeds can then be customized and embedded on a website or displayed at an event.
What are the most important features offered by a social media feed tool?
The main function of a social wall is to automate the process of gathering posts from all of the social networks you use and display them in one place, and when choosing between social feed services you should consider three things:
- Integrations: Make sure your social wall integrates with the platforms that you need it to. If your aggregator can’t pull posts from a social platform you use often, it won’t serve much purpose. If your brand engages with lots of social platforms at once, you should also make sure the service you choose can curate them all. Some social feed services limit the total number of integrations you can run simultaneously.
- Price: Each service typically has different pricing tiers. You’ll need to consider the features available at each pricing level of the tools you are comparing. There are subtle differences among tools and tiers that could be the difference between the social wall you choose working perfectly or causing unnecessary frustration.
- Customization: If branding and consistency is important to you, you’ll need your social wall to be fully customizable. Not all social media aggregators offer the same level of customization.
These are three of the most important factors to examine when selecting the best social media wall software for your needs. As we compare the social media feed offered by Flockler and Juicer, we will be focusing on how the two apps differ on those three factors.
How does Flockler compare to Juicer?
Your first impression might be that the social media feeds offered by Flockler and Juicer aren’t very different from each other. But once you take a closer look into the details, you’ll soon find out just how different these two social media feed apps are from one another. The first area we’ll look at is compatible social media integrations.
Comparing Flockler and Juicer – Social Media Integration Options
Most social wall platforms offer integrations for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. One place social walls can differentiate themselves is in the variety of compatible integrations they offer. When you look at a side-by-side Juicer vs. Flockler comparison you’ll notice that Juicer offers several integrations that aren’t available on Flockler. To get a better idea of which sites are supported on each social wall app, here’s a list of social media integrations available on Juicer and Flockler:
Juicer: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, RSS, LinkedIn, Yelp, Flickr, Tumblr, Pinterest, Slack, SoundCloud, Giphy, and Vimeo

Comparing Juicer and Flockler Pricing for Their Social Media Feeds
Juicer, unlike Flockler, offers four tiers of pricing options starting with a free plan. Flockler does not offer a free plan but does offer a 30-day free trial. Because Flockler doesn’t have a free plan, it can be tricky to do a side-by-side comparison of Juicer and Flockler’s pricing tiers. So we’ll break down how the pricing plans vary between Juicer and Flockler at each paid pricing tier.
Juicer.io / Juicer Social
Flockler
Free Plan (Juicer Only)
Juicer, unlike Flockler, will always have a free-for-life social media feed plan you can quickly set up and embed on your website. Juicer’s free plan allows you to incorporate two social media integrations or two hashtags, and the social feed refreshes every 24 hours. The free social media management plan provided by Juicer.io is a great option for smaller businesses, personal accounts, or marketers who only have a few social channels to manage.
Features offered in the free Juicer.io / Juicer Social plan:
| Free Plan | Juicer |
|---|---|
| Social Media Sources/Hashtags | 2 |
| Embeddable Social Media Feed | 1 |
| Feed Refresh Time | 24 Hours |
| Customization | Yes |
| Feed Branding | Yes |
| Moderation/Filtering Features | X |
| API Access | X |
| Analytics | X |
| Feed View Limit | None |
| Price | Free |
Medium Plan
The next tier is Juicer’s Medium plan and the base plan offered by Flockler. With the Juicer Medium plan, you can include an additional three social media integration sources or hashtags bringing your account to five in total. Other upgrades unlocked with the medium plan are automated social media moderation tools, an hourly feed refresh time (instead of refreshing every 24 hours), and the ability to remove the Juicer branding from the social wall.
Comparatively, Flockler only offers two social media source/hashtag integrations. Flockler’s base plan does update every 5-15 minutes, but it also costs $55 per month — almost three times as much as Juicer.
Here is a look at how Juicer’s Medium plan compares to the base pricing plan for Flockler:
| Medium Plan | Juicer | Flockler |
|---|---|---|
| Social Media Sources/Hashtags | 5 | 2 |
| Embeddable Social Media Feed | 1 | Unlimited |
| Feed Refresh Time | Hourly | Every 5-15 Minutes |
| Customization | Yes | Yes |
| Feed Branding | X | X |
| Moderation/Filtering Features | Yes | Manual |
| API Access | X | Yes |
| Analytics | X | X |
| Feed View Limit | None | None |
| Price | $19/Month | $55/Month |
Large Plan
Juicer’s Large plan offers a wide variety of social media integrations and more frequent updates, making it a fantastic choice for companies, brands, or larger agencies. Another way the Juicer Large plan differentiates itself from the Medium plan is the addition of social media feed analytics.
Here is how Juicer’s Large social wall plan compares to the 2nd pricing tier for Flockler:
| Large Plan | Juicer | Flockler |
|---|---|---|
| Social Media Sources/Hashtags | 15 | 8 |
| Embeddable Social Media Feed | 3 | Unlimited |
| Feed Refresh Time | Every 10 Minutes | Every 5-15 Minutes |

| Feed View Limit | None | None |
| Price | $99/Month | $110/Month |
Enterprise Plan
If you’re looking for the ultimate limitless plan, Juicer’s Enterprise plan is your best option. When we say limitless, we’re not joking. Juicer’s Enterprise plan allows you to create unlimited social media feeds with unlimited social media integrations and a treasure trove of customization options. The Juicer Enterprise plan is designed for any organization, company, agency, or brand that requires more social feeds and integrations than our normal plans allow.
Flockler’s third-tier plan is the same price as Juicer’s enterprise plan but with limits on the number of integrations and without access to feed analytics.
| Enterprise Plan | Juicer | Flockler |
|---|---|---|
| Social Media Sources/Hashtags | Unlimited | 15 |
| Embeddable Social Media Feed | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Feed Refresh Time | Every 10 Minutes | Every 5-15 Minutes |
| Customization | Yes | Yes |
| Company Branding | X | X |
| Moderation/Filtering Features | Yes | Manual |
| Analytics | Yes | X |
| API Access | Yes | Yes |
| Feed View Limit | None | None |
| Price | $199/Month | $199/Month |
Flockler also offers two additional higher-tier plans at $330/Month for 30 automated feed integrations and $550/Month for 60 automated social feed integrations.
Juicer’s top tier plan is the Enterprise plan, which starts at $199/month and enables you to customize based on your needs. Juicer’s Enterprise plan is highly customizable — designed to ensure you get all the social media aggregator tools you want and don’t get stuck paying for extras. With more integration possibilities and dynamic pricing options, Juicer’s Enterprise plan differentiates itself from Flockler.
Comparing the Social Media Feed Customization Features of Flockler and Juicer
It can’t be overstated how important brand awareness is in any social media marketing strategy. That’s why we understand the importance of being able to hyper-customize the design and style of your social media feed. At Juicer, we provide social media feed customization settings that allow you to tailor your feed to seamlessly blend in with your website, your next marketing campaign theme, an upcoming event color scheme, and much more.

Flockler on the other hand has 4 templates: the standard social wall, a carousel style, a grid design, and a slideshow option. Flockler does open up the option to alter the style and color of the template’s background, tiles, and fonts.

Juicer’s social media aggregator provides more social media integrations, has lower prices including a free option, offers more feed customization choices, and includes features that aren’t even available with Flockler like social feed analytics and automated feed moderation.
