What is Smarcomms?
Smarcomms is a social media management company that started in 2016. It says it's mainly based in the United Kingdom, with a US company as well, and a team of more than 100 remote professionals. Like us, it sells monthly plans: a team writes and designs your posts, you approve them, and they're scheduled for you.
Its plans are priced by how many image posts you get each month, and each one includes one social channel. Extra channels are $10 a month each. Short-form video, story posts, growth ads, Meta ads and blog writing are sold as add-ons. Plans are month to month, and new clients get a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Where GVS gives you more for the money.
Four things you get on every Grow Via Social plan without paying extra.
Every platform, on every plan
All 9 platforms come with every plan: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, Threads and Bluesky. At Smarcomms, each channel after the first is $10 a month.
Video in every plan
From 1 short-form video a month on Basic to 8 on Premium, at no extra cost. At Smarcomms, video is an add-on that starts at $99 a month for 4.
First posts in 3 days
Your whole first month is ready to review 3 days after you start. Smarcomms says to expect a first batch in 4 to 7 business days.
A real account manager
One person who knows your business is your point of contact, backed by a US-based team of real people, not AI.

When Smarcomms could suit you better.
We'd rather you pick the right service than the wrong one. Here's when Smarcomms makes sense.
- You post on one channel and want the most image posts for the money (10 for $99, up to 30 for $295).
- You need X (Twitter) or Snapchat. Smarcomms lists both, and they aren’t among our 9 platforms.
- You want ads, growth campaigns or blog writing from the same company as your posts.
- You don’t need video each month.
- You want every platform covered for one price.
- You want short-form video every month without an add-on.
- You want your first month ready to review in 3 days.
- You want one account manager on a US-based team.
