Sprout Social Is A Social Media Team’s Toolkit. Nexus Commerce Turns Social Into Sales.
Sprout Social is one of the most complete tools for publishing, engagement, reviews and social reporting, priced per seat. It isn’t a store, a register or a sales pipeline. This page compares Sprout Social with Nexus Boost, the ads and social add-on inside Nexus Commerce, for businesses that want social leads to land next to the order.
Public pricing and features checked November 1, 2026. Prices change, so confirm on Sprout Social’s site before you decide.
Which One Fits Your Business?
Choose Sprout Social if
You have people whose job is social media: a shared inbox for comments and messages, many profiles, listening, competitor reports and review management.
Choose Nexus Commerce if
Social and ads are one of several jobs, and what matters is that the leads they bring land in the same pipeline, contact record and order history your team sells from.
Be honest about the mix
If social is a department, Sprout Social is the better tool. If social is how you find customers you then quote, call and sell to, Nexus Boost may cover it for $39 a month on a Nexus Commerce plan.

- The store and register tooOnline store and point of sale with unlimited registers on every plan. Sprout Social doesn’t list an online store or POS.
- Follow up from the same recordNexus Connect adds calls, texts and email from $39 a month, on the same contact as the order. Sprout Social’s pricing page doesn’t list texting, calling or email campaigns.
- Lead forms and promo codesLead forms, promo codes and ready-made follow-up templates on every plan.

Nexus Boost is not a full replacement for Sprout Social. Sprout Social lists a social inbox, review management, listening and competitor reporting, and it’s the deeper tool for a social media team. Boost only runs on a Nexus Commerce plan, so it’s the better buy when you’d use the plan anyway and what you need from social is leads in the pipeline. If you only need social publishing for one person and no store, Sprout Social Essentials at $79 to $99 a month is the simpler buy.
Sprout Social plan cards show yearly-billing prices; monthly-billing prices are from its pricing FAQ. Enterprise is custom. Premium Analytics, Listening, Employee Advocacy and Trellis Plus ($28 a seat yearly, $35 monthly) are extra and not included above. Nexus Commerce figures are monthly list prices; ad spend is separate on both sides.
