### "Using Stream for a new social media startup" — 4.0/5

> **Kevin** | *26 January 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We surveyed a couple of vendors to power the "News Feed" in our social media app.  Stream had a set of features that covered the majority of our use cases, and was easy to configure.
> 
> **Cons**: We had some difficulty finding why we were hitting quota limits and incurring overage fees.  It would have been helpful if there was some more detail in the provided reporting dashboard
> 
> The ease of use definitely helped validate our decision to pick Stream as our News Feed provider.  Once live, it has worked very well.
