    CoSchedule
    CoSchedule is great for businesses or agencies who need an overview of all their marketing efforts, and who want to establish collaboration between multiple departments. The calendar view is one of the best we've worked with and makes it easy to see exactly what's happening. There is some slight clunkiness when it comes to admin-related tasks, and a few things aren't easy to find, but there's great support.

    For creative and captivating presentation slides where you are pitching your ideas to the team, for quick and well-presented pamphlets for the event board, irrespective of university or workplace. I would definitely recommend using existing templates from VistaCreate instead of AI-generated images that are messy and crowded, so you connect with the audience better, and also, of course, people will take it seriously as well..

    Pros
    CoSchedule
    • Best time to post is great at updating to when we get the most engagement by platform
    • Requeue tool to slate out additional posts for a given piece of content is a huge time saver
    • Aggregate analytics tool shows us a peek across our posts on a given platform that's actually easier to read than the platform itself

    Cons
    CoSchedule
    • The platform seems sluggish as of late, likely as a result of the robust amount of data we are entering and the number of filters we're creating.
    • Social media scheduling exists, but we do run into publishing errors more often then we'd like.
    • Task templates when updated are not retroactive, so when you create projects for an entire year and then change a template, you need to go back and change them manually.

    Usability
    CoSchedule
    The interface is very intuitive, from setting up social profiles, to posting, to tags, to optimizing for best day/time to post. It's super easy to scan the aggregate analytics. The calendar is very easy to grok at a glance, and the more advanced functionality is intuitive to set up.

    It's a fantastic tool, be it the free or paid version. You can choose different templates from many listed categories and change styles with palettes, add music to your images, and choose from a variety of fonts. All these features are for free users. You unlock gold if you have a paid version of VistaCreate. Some additional useful features like background remover, AI writer, object remover, resize, and many varieties of templates are only for premium users. I give 9 because additional premium useful features are not available for free users

    CoSchedule
    I didn't have to use their official support, but I can say that they put out a lot of content online to help users. Their YouTube page has quite an array of tutorial videos explaining how things work and how to get the most out of their tools. If you're struggling, before picking up a phone or blasting off an email, try searching for your problem on YouTube or their forums.

    CoSchedule provides collaborative planning of projects. The calendar view is very well designed. Meetings and tasks can be scheduled and tracked easily. Whatever is being done, no matter how big the task/project is, it gives a bird-eye view of everything. Additionally, it also integrated very well with WordPress. Their customer service team is also very helpful.

    I like to give a chance to other products and try them out. As far as my experience is concerned, I liked the feature of VistaCreate, with palettes, which totally changes the mood and tone of the image. That's something I didn't find in Canva. Additionally, the simplicity and user-friendliness of VistaCreate instead of being crowded with too many features. It's simply the best.

    Return on Investment
    CoSchedule
    • It has saved me about 1 hour per day to keep things organized from Asana to WordPress.
    • By not having a functioning Google Doc import feature, it costs me about 30 minutes for each blog post to copy paste all the content, images, etc.
    • By bundling too many features into their plans, many of which we don't use (e.g. social media scheduling), we lose a little ROI because we are not using the full feature set. We use and prefer Buffer for social media, so when CoSchedule raised their price $40+ per month on features we would not be using, that hurt.
