“While there are cheaper tools out there, none of them give me the same confidence around brand safety, GDPR compliance, and accessibility. The built-in moderation tools, language filters, and accessibility-friendly layouts mean I don’t have to worry about something slipping through during a high-stakes event.”

“6 hours before our event on New Year's Eve, we sent a message to customer support expecting no reply. But the customer representative jumped in and saved the day! He had us up and running in just a couple minutes as he was heading out the door to his own NYE celebration. THAT is customer service!! They made a fan for life.”

The only social wall vendor with an event promotion tool in the product stack

Flockler's social walls only activate when they are published on a site or displayed on a screen. Walls.io offers a tool that natively ties in with the social wall to get people posting about your brand before a social wall goes live.

Perfect for events, Walls.io Echo give attendees, speakers, and sponsors one link to share branded posts across every major platform in less than 30 seconds. We've also had customers use it for employee advocacy campaigns, fundraisers, and product launches.

Frequently asked questions

Is Walls.io enterprise-secure?

Yes. Walls.io was built with enterprise security in mind: two-factor authentication, GDPR/CCPA compliance, secret wall URLs that can't be found through search, and no third-party cookies or widgets loading on your wall by default. We also sign Data Processing Agreements (ADV/AVV for D/A/CH customers) as standard practice, offer full assistance with IT/security and compliance assessments, and support your team through procurement. Flockler only offers DPAs upon request and doesn't provide the same level of hands-on compliance support.

What are the options for moderating user-generated content?

Walls.io offers AI-powered automatic moderation and manual moderation to refine results. NSFW AI image filter, sentiment analysis, language filters, spam filters, keyword-based text filtering, duplicate content filters, and full-text moderation search. As an alternative to Flockler, Walls.io gives you unlimited moderators regardless of plan.

Which platform is better suited for event marketing?

Walls.io offer 30-day event passes with real-time updates included by default and provides custom URLs on all plans (Flockler reserves this for Enterprise). We also have more ways to participate: Reactions (likes on posts), a virtual Photo Booth with branded frames, native live polls, direct content submissions with QR, and sponsored posts. Plus, we are the only social wall vendor to have a native tie-in with an event promotional tool, Echo.

What kind of customer support can I expect from Walls.io?

Walls.io includes a dedicated customer success manager, onboarding for your whole team, 1-on-1 developer-to-developer API support, and hands-on help through procurement and IT/security assessments. Customers consistently highlight our responsiveness on review sites like Capterra and G2.

What does Walls.io pricing look like for each use case?

Walls.io has three product lines: Events (Event Pass or Event Subscription, both covering 30 days per event with 5 sources and real-time updates), Websites (Professional with 10 sources, Premium with 20, updating every 15 minutes), and Digital Signage (Professional with 10 sources/10 screens, Premium with 20 sources/25 screens). All plans offer 20% off for yearly billing, and Enterprise tiers are available with custom sources, screens, and audience sizes. See the Events, Websites, or Digital Signage pages for current price comparisons.

Does Walls.io offer an API?

Yes. Walls.io provides a HTTP/REST API plus a META-API that connects to dozens of platforms through one endpoint, with 1-on-1 developer-to-developer support and an easy setup process for teams that need custom-built integrations beyond the 50+ native ones already available (event platforms, CMS, digital signage, CRMs, and more). On top of that, Walls.io connects via Zapier to thousands of additional apps like Slack, HubSpot, Google Sheets, and Dropbox. Flockler relies more heavily on embed codes and manual API work for custom integrations, and doesn't have an official Zapier app — so extending it to tools outside its native connections typically means pulling in IT.
