Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Agorapulse
One inbox for every comment and message
Agorapulse treats the social inbox as the main job and scheduling as the thing you do around it. Comments, ad comments, mentions and messages land in one queue that can be assigned, answered and closed, which is the difference between a team of two and a person with eleven tabs open. Reporting is the other half, and it is built to be sent to somebody who did not do the work. Pricing is per user, so the size of the team is what decides the bill.

Manychat
Instagram and WhatsApp replies, sent automatically
Manychat is the tool behind every post that says comment LINK and I will send it to you. It watches for a keyword in comments or DMs and answers with a message, a link or a sequence, which turns a post that got reach into an email list. Instagram is where most creators use it. Messenger, WhatsApp and TikTok are also connected.
Our note
Worth knowing before you build a funnel on it: the contact meter counts anybody who interacted in the month, so one post that does numbers can move you two tiers. Check the per-contact overage rate, not just the headline price.
