Frequently asked questions
How is Emplifi priced?
Emplifi prices on business volume — audience size, interaction volume and content scale — rather than seat count, and all tiers include unlimited user licenses. Social Marketing Essential starts at $1,249 per month and Advanced at $2,499 per month; the Intelligent tier and the Social Care and Social Commerce packages are custom quotes. Additional public benchmarking profiles are sold as an add-on.
What does implementation involve?
Emplifi states that it integrates into an existing technology stack with no setup time needed to start using connected data and teams, and its Care platform offers a Salesforce Service Cloud two-way sync rather than a bespoke build. Buyers should still plan for channel connections, governance configuration and workflow design; the vendor publishes no mandatory implementation fee.
Which systems does Emplifi integrate with?
Emplifi supports two-way Salesforce Service Cloud case sync in Social Care, and lists Zendesk, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Shopify and major social and retail channels as supported integrations. Direct API access is provided for pushing metrics into internal infrastructure, and cloud storage such as Google Drive, Box and Dropbox can be synced for media assets.
What security and compliance certifications does Emplifi hold?
Emplifi's Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type II, SOC 1 Type II and ISO 27001:2022, alongside GDPR, CCPA, PCI and EU-US / Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework participation. It also states PII redaction, audit trails, role-based permissions and data residency controls, annual CREST-certified penetration testing, and offers specific agreements for HIPAA compliance on request.
Does Emplifi use customer data to train its AI models?
No — the Trust Center states that customer data is not used to train Emplifi's AI models unless explicitly agreed, and any data used for training is anonymised and aggregated. Emplifi classifies its AI as low risk under the EU AI Act, runs AI DPIAs, offers documented transparency on how its algorithms work, and lets customers opt out of specific AI-based features.
