I purchased UpContent through an AppSumo deal, and it has quickly become one of the few tools I rely on every week. As someone who creates a weekly news show and newsletter in the software development and testing space, staying on top of the latest industry updates is critical. UpContent makes it incredibly easy to discover, curate, and manage relevant articles without wasting hours sifting through irrelevant content.
The tool is intuitive and provides highly relevant suggestions tailored to my niche, helping me keep up with the ever-evolving world of software testing and automation. The integration options also make it seamless to incorporate curated content into my workflow.
If you're in a fast-changing industry like tech or software, UpContent is a game-changer. It saves time, ensures you're always informed, and delivers consistent value every single week. Highly recommend it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Setting up filters to fine-tune topics can be complex, making it difficult to exclude irrelevant content. This complexity can lead to a less efficient curation process, as users may spend additional time refining their filters to achieve the desired results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My favorite thing about UpContent is that it pulls in news articles based on key words and groups of key words from all over the internet and world. It doesn't have to rely on RSS feeds, etc., or for you to input sources into the system. This opens us up to more sources, some that we never even knew about. It therefore helps our newsletter stand out from its competitors by offering new stories (not the same ones everyone is "curating").
It easily integrates with Rasa.io which we use for the delivery of our personalized newsletters.
I love that it offers a way to search Getty Images within the system to add or change a picture accompanying a story and it's very convenient to be able to edit the headlines and abstract in system too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find the usability of the system a little difficult and not very user friendly. It is a bit complicated to figure out what combination of key words and phrases will get you the articles you really want to see and then it's a bit complicated to figure out to refine those results via the various filter Views. That being said, the customer service is great at hoping on a call and helping you adjust filters as needed. I still feel like it takes constant refining so as to not get the tiny city/town/village news sources we don't want but while also exposing us to new larger sources we may want. For us, it doesn't seem to be a "set it and forget it" system.
I still find that we are missing large stories from major news bodies (Reuters, NYT, Wall Street Journal) that I am having to add manually, which is frustrating. I want it to work better than it is but I am not sure if it is the system or my lack of time to dedicate to optimizing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use UpContent for almost a year now and are very happy with the features and functionalities. We mainly used it for curating content (blog articles from various sources in English and French) and publication of our website and within our monthly newsletter. The filters and RSS feeds we use as well as the possibility to customize the layout of content is great. Also the integration with other tools such as ActiveCampaign and Wordpress work well.
Finally, a big thank you to the CSM team and particulary Dylan who is checking on us on a regular basis and always provide detailed answers to our questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only think that would come to my mind would be pricing for one user and a couple of collections. Would be great to have a starting package slightly less expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I genuinely appreciate UpContent's intuitive interface, making curating high-quality content effortlessly aligned with my audience's interests. It’s an invaluable tool that streamlines content discovery and empowers me to efficiently deliver relevant, engaging information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At times, I've noticed occasional glitches when using UpContent, especially across different web browsers. I find myself switching between Edge and Chrome to ensure smooth functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's an incredible tool that saves us the time of searching for relevant content. And makes it easy to plug into Constant Contact and send! The couple times I had questions or couldn't figure it out, their customer support was available immediately to assist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't think of any downsides to using UpContent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Stellar, super fast, friendly and attentive support.
Makes content curation easy, I can't imagine doing this manually. Easy implementation on our website and in our apps, and the result looks really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some issues with things in our RSS feed not showing up.
Some interface design issues are inconvenient and don't make sense from an ease-of-use perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Upcontent curates the needed news and allows us to share it on social platforms. Using it with Sniply also enables us to put an ad and a link to our company on the content we share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No auto publishing option in the platform, but can solve that with Zapier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have enjoyed using UpContent. I use it to serve multiple clients in building their newsletter content. It is easy to use and the team is VERY responsive to any questions or concerns that arise.

How easy it is to use the platform and the quality of news stories that pull in. Scott has also been incredibly helpful, commiting a lot of time to help us onboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to actually launch the email from the platform would be a bonus, but not essential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Working with UpContent and Scott in particular has been an absolute pleasure. The platform and service is so accommodating and convenient and Scott is always very helpful and quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ONLY thing is having clicked on content leave the page instead of opening within the page as they do on https://news.yahoo.com/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
