How many web agencies or freelancers would answer ‘yes’ if you were to ask them, ‘Have you found collecting content from clients to be easy?’ Typically, at the outset of a project, the web project manager will request content from the client. But that’s where things can get messy fast. Using the right platform to gather content can be one of the best ways to avoid unnecessary hassles. Two tools for collecting content are EasyContent and GatherKit, but what are the differences?

A breakdown of the features
Content collaboration
Both GatherKit and EasyContent have a content collaboration feature. Invite your clients as well as your team to participate in the project. Your team and client can conveniently propose or comment on revisions if something needs updating. Both make it easy to keep track of content, discussions, and revisions in one, centralized place.
Content workflow
In GatherKit and EasyContent, you can create approval statuses and select roles that will be responsible for these statuses. On the GatherKit’s dashboard, you can see the project insight, including the latest editing, project progress, project scope, and important notes. It allows you to receive a notification activity on the project.
Align content with your website structure
In GatherKit, you can create hierarchical content trees replicating your website’s structure. It can interact directly with Pages, reducing your work as you start filling in content.
Task assignment and deadline
Both GatherKit and EasyContent allow project managers to identify the roles their team members are assigned. Project managers can use these features to invite collaborations, assign work, and the platform will send notifications to in-demand contributors

With each step in the approvals, get unique versions to keep track of changes between you and your clients. Both online tools also have access to history logs so you can reset to an earlier stage. GatherKit offers 1-month archived projects for the free plan, so you can have plenty of time to back up and upgrade.
