I want you back!!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel G. | Senior Advisor, Business Development, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** I used it to curate all major Canadian R&D funders and all Canadian post-secondary institutions as it relates to research and innovation. This has been a devastating blow to me personally and professionally. I WOULD LOVE TO CONNECT!! **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** Tied to Twitter as primary source. Others like LinkedIn could have been found. I am very disappointed. Charge more for corporate accounts, particularly post-secondary institutions, granting agencies, and other organizations who waste their funds with media lead generators. LET ME HELP OR EXPLORE A BUY-OUT!! **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** Adapted to my core values, business model, and part of my daily life in fostering and recognizing innovation and opportunities. ### 3. Helped to curate uniquely contextually relatively relevant content on Paper.li **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ronak S. | Freelance Content Writer & Digital Marketer (Online), Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** He used to curate all his content and tag me for the same. I used to get featured by Guy Kawasaki on his paper.li. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** Once he deleted the paper.li which he had tagged me on, I lost all my most important intimate content that he was sharing with everyone. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps to build connections and establish authority after building a brand and connecting with your right target audience. You can go back to it. It helps to keep a track of the best content you find on it. ### 4. Paper.li not worth the time **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jon W. | Sport Heritage Specialist, Sports, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** Nothing. The aggregate program does not function well. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** Paper.li grabs content from various sources but the algorithm doesn't grab properly-related content accurately. The system is just not reliable. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** Paper.li in theory grabs headlines related to your business or business focus, but I've never found it to be effective and often it grabs unrelated stories or social media posts. ### 5. Regretful to lose such a powerful tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dima E. | Founding Board Member, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** Simple, easy, affordable, currated targeted content at your fingertips, daily.

Long time customer pleased with their evolution. Disappointed with privacy due to Google Analytics. **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** Responsive tech support and ease of use. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** There have been a few hiccups over the years, but in the past, the support team has overcome them. The problem now is that Google Analytics is required if embedding in a website. Customer service was unaware of this change to the service. We alerted them to this issue after researching why our website had started connecting to Google Analytics without our knowledge. Privacy concerns regarding Google Analytics is a dealbreaker for our nonprofit organization. We had been happy with their service until recently and regret we will be looking for a replacement now. **Recommendations to others considering Paper.li:** We have been using Paper.li since 2014, and it is the only service of its kind that we have used. We have generally been happy with it. If you do not mind the required use of Google Analytics for embedding content, it will probably work well for you. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a small newsletter and manually curate content through Paper.li. We also update our nonprofit org's website by embedding the content from that newsletter within our primary website. ### 7. Create your online newspapers easily **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sergey I. | Founder/Director, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2020 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** The idea behind paper.li is wonderful. It's really easy to create online newspapers on various topics and control content flow. The update of overall UX lately makes it even much more cool. Social media integration features are made rather easy-to-use and content picks are mainly very nice and good looking. Newsletter feature is also very good. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** The lack of SEO features like unique URLs, or maybe at least hints on how to improve SEO rankings for such online newspapers. It's not looking very professional when outdated posts from paper.li on Twitter lose the pictures quite fast. You can have it without a picture or not working URL in just a few days after the bot submits it to your Twitter. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** Content marketing made easily with paper.li. It's useful for business blogging and digital marketing. ### 8. Simple-to-use curator of content **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2018 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** Pulls content based off criteria relevant to your business offerings. Can add sources, keywords, etc. to refine the type of curated content. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** Can be a little cumbersome looking. The free features limit the design and ease of use. The ads are a little annoying for people visiting the paper's page. **Recommendations to others considering Paper.li:** Making improvements as time goes by. Hopefully they broaden their ability to stream across more networks and add additional customization (whitelisting, layouts, design, etc.) **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** Curated content that's super easy to pull from. The automatic tweeting of the issues is nice and adds to engagement online. ### 9. Paper.li great for aggregating theme related news and content **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nigel W. | Managing Director, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** I had a free Paper.li account for a year, and liked the way it aggregated news from competitors in a particular niche. But then I realised this would be useful to sales and marketing folk across my industry. So I upgraded to Professional and created http://low-code-daily.com Very easy to do. I had a few questions for the Paper.li help desk and found them excellent. It was refreshing to deal with a support person that really read, understood and answered each question, instead of wasting my time with poorly thought through responses. Every issue dealt with same day by Julia who is excellent! They even went the extra mile by customising some CSS to improve how my header looked on mobile. The result - I now have automated daily topical tweets that my followers seem to appreciate. Followers growing daily. Linkedin likewise. And its led to new business inquiries as well. I can edit the news headlines, add and remove specific articles incredibly quickly. I've been able to refine the articles I aggregate simply by building a Twitter list and "training" Paper.li's search bot with about eight keywords. Its a news / social media aggregator, so its not for everyone. If you want to focus on just your company's original content this is not the way to go. Having said that I can seed my own blogs posts and Linkedin articles into the news mix with just 2 clicks. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** Struggled with the banner heading as I didn't like the default font and wanted 2 text colours. But Paper.li support overcame that issue by tweaking the CSS code for me. Beyond the call. Thank you! **Recommendations to others considering Paper.li:** Its a simple product and quick to set-up. Just be clear who's content you're seeking to promote. If just your own original content this is probably not the way to go. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating a useful social media output facility, that is generating followers and click throughs to my website. ### 10. Keeps Twitter active **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Writing and Editing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2018 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** Keeps my Twitter active/reaches clients. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** Sometimes picks up inappropriate content **Recommendations to others considering Paper.li:** Make sure to occasionally refine and manage your settings to keep things on track. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** Some Twitter users use management software that automatically unfollows inactive accounts. This makes sure I’m never inactive for more than a couple of days. Plus the content engages clients & fellow businesses. ### 11. I loved it when it first came out but don't find it useful now **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark W. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** The user experience is great. It's super easy to set up and very streamlined. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** I think it's lacking in content sources and doesn't have much benefit to the end-user. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** I wanted to be able to curate content for followers but I felt like this publishing tool was not really worth it for me or my audience. ### 12. Great Collection Tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2018 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** The ability to gather keyword-relevant news of the day. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** The inability to preview paper before it is posted. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** Increasing our social media outreach by connecting with others and getting in on the conversation. ### 13. Paper.li is a simple way to curate content. **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2017 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** The simplicity of using the service to curate from different sources. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** At times irrelevant links will slip through. **Recommendations to others considering Paper.li:** Take care when choosing where to curate from. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** Can provide additional value to followers on your social channels. ### 14. Great for curating Brand mentions and archiving Twitter chats **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ann S. | Community and Brand Manager, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2016 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** I've been Paper.li earlier adopter and I know they have gone a long way and I love what they have done. With such a simple idea behind it, you can actually use it for lots of purposes: Automatically curate content using a hashtag, curate media, engage your community to contribute, curate (and publicize) your business social media testimonials. You can even hook it up to your Mailchimp account and use it for lead generation. The support is very good as well: They helped me customize the look of my paper completely for free. They have recently launched responsive themes too. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** They need to be doing a better job at showcasing how their features can be used. Most users don't see the potential. I think they need more user cases showing different ways brands are using the papers to promote their online presence. **Recommendations to others considering Paper.li:** It has a very good free offering: No risks involved. I'd highly recommend to register an account, browse around and set up at least one paper to see where it can be useful. If you run Twitter chats, Paper.li is a must to document each one. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** Paper.li automates curation: You set up it once and then it rolls on its own notifying the paper followers of the most recent updates (and even mentioning them in the tweets). It's a good way to grow your brand exposure on auto-pilot. ### 15. A functional, effective content curator **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2016 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** It can be super simple to select, collate and present a variety of content pieces via a customizable online paper format. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** Sharing via social requires a lot of customization to not appear spammy. I've seen far too many instances of people creating a basic Paper.li page and spamming their social networks everytime something is posted. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** From a curation standpoint, it helps to collect information. Some of our employees have tried this to create their own personalized accounts and build thoughts leadership. ### 16. Paper.li is little more than a basic curator **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paige G. | Senior Manager, Marketing and Strategic Alliances, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2015 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** I used paper.li as an automated service to post repurposed content to my followers on Twitter. If you set new content to be delivered every day, it does exactly that. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** There's no original content within the paper.li system. You're only reposting other users' content. If you're trying to appear to be an expert in a certain industry, circulating poorly edited content is not the way to go. **Recommendations to others considering Paper.li:** If you're searching for custom content, I would turn to an agency or Skyword or Scripted or Content Quotes. If you're just trying to circulate content that already exists, then paper.li will meet your needs. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was searching for a new tool to generate content inexpensively on our social media profiles. Paper.li was not successful in filling that need. ### 17. Nice paper **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amy M. | Founder & CVO - Social Media Manager, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2016 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** You can curate a paper automatically, or if you pay control it's content in depth. It autoshares to your network and engages the people it pulled articles from. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** Not much control over free version. You get a lot more featured and control if you need it with an upgrade. **Recommendations to others considering Paper.li:** I would uses the pay version if you want to establish a serious news or paper. But it is worth it either way. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** It gave me free exposure and helped me network with people in my field on twitter! The benefits were more following and interactions. ### 18. Quick little news aggregator **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Online Media | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2015 **What do you like best about Paper.li?** I like the fact that it's super easy to create and publish an online news desk (or newspaper) of both curated and original content. **What do you dislike about Paper.li?** The layout isn't the "sexiest," but it's definitely more functional. **What problems is Paper.li solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've used paper.li for quick curation of topic-specific content. It's an easy tactic for PR + comms pros to get influencers to notice you. ## Paper.li Discussions - [What is Paper.li used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-paper-li-used-for) - [Regarding Newsletter Layout](https://www.g2.com/discussions/regarding-newsletter-layout) - 1 upvote - [View Paper.li pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/paper-li-paper-li/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-29+14%3A14%3A38+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=e4add20d-1a4d-4ff6-abde-93d7a918e713&secure%5Btoken%5D=88c3ae509cfb1018125e6a31f12118cd335dadc9b3cd2ef246e77078d072c9cc&format=llm_user) ## Paper.li Features **Content Creation** - Content Creation Tools - Content Curation - Buyer Personas - Content Management **Content Discovery** - Query Builder - Content Sources - Content Suggestions - Multimedia Support **Agentic AI - Content Distribution** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Optimization** - SEO - A/B Testing - Dashboards & Reporting - Audience Targeting - ROI Reporting **Content Curation** - Collaboration - Content Management - Customization - Analytics and Reporting **Logistics** - Customizable Templated Workflows - Internal Communication - Version Control - Editing and Approval Tools - Distribution Features - Integrations & APIs - User, Role, and Access Management **Content Distribution** - Social Media - Email Marketing - Blogs/Websites - Integrations - SEO **Planning** - Collaborative Editorial Calendars / Scheduling Content **Agentic AI - Content Curation** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top Paper.li Alternatives - [Scoop.it](https://www.g2.com/products/scoop-it/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (27 reviews) - [UpContent](https://www.g2.com/products/upcontent/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (280 reviews) - [ContentStudio](https://www.g2.com/products/contentstudio/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (342 reviews)
