Considered Both Products
Followerwonk
Chose Followerwonk
I really like the tool for some great insights but you also need another tool for other insights too. It is a great asset to the toolbox and not an all-rounder.
Chose Followerwonk
Hootsuite and Followerwonk are very different tools. One is great for planning posts and content, and the other is great for audience analysis.
Chose Followerwonk
Honestly, I haven't used many other services that compete specifically with Followeronk. One of the reasons for this is that the service Followerwonk offers is typically lumped into other services as additional features or buy-in options. What I like about Followerwonk is that …
Chose Followerwonk
Followerwonk and Google Analytics provide very different data and each resource gives insight into audience. GA helps with audience members who are already using our product, while Followerwonk helps us find new markets and audiences.
Chose Followerwonk
We were not looking for a solution like FollowerWonk, but it was provided free of charge with our Moz Pro subscription so we decided to give it a try. The only other similar tool we have used is the now shut down Twitalyzer. Twitalyzer was more of a tracking tool, while …
Chose Followerwonk
Followerwonk is the easiest tool to gain intelligence from and make actionable decisions based on your Twitter presence alone. While other tools can perform some of the same tasks, Followerwonk provides a suite of very effective and easy-to-use tools that allow for quick …
Publer
Chose Publer
More user-friendly, less clunky, runs better, easier to view multiple accounts, and has API access.
Chose Publer
We have used Orlo before using Publer, and they are very similar products, but Publer is much more cost-effective in comparison. Publer can be just as easy to use as Orlo, and the look and feel work in a very similar way. If you are looking for a better cost-effective solution, …
Chose Publer
We previously used SocialBee and also evaluated Metricool. SocialBee could not edit video directly in the app and couldn't auto-generate captions. Its mobile app didn't support comment management or story link stickers. Metricool was simpler to navigate but felt rigid — it …
Chose Publer
Much more feature-rich and the best value for money.
Chose Publer
Publer has a better design and faster application. While it is not a neccessity, I like to use software, that looks and feels modern. Publer also have much better pricing for my concrete use case - we are two people managing 4 social media channels.
Chose Publer
I found Hootsuite and Buffer after searching about content management tools on the internet. They are great tools as well but in terms of pricing, Publer has got better plans. Pricing really matters for people with small to medium size businesses and I think Publer offers two …
Chose Publer
The reason I chose Publer above Buffer and Later Social is the integration of Google Maps business. Either there was no integration with it, or it was much more expensive to have it. Now I have 10 social media accounts connected and I'm more active than ever on our socials.
Chose Publer
I've used other tools to try and schedule across social media platforms and although others may have had better pricing or better features, they rarely had both. Publer is the perfect balance of performance and pricing, where other platforms excel in one over the other.
Chose Publer
Very well. It comes very close to what hootsuite does but at a fraction of the price. Its pretty interesting tat Publer has not blown up yet. even some of the other ones outside of its circle its still good to use Publer over others. so give it a try
Chose Publer
Later does not have the required features compared to Publer. Although later was interesting and it was a good price, it ultimately failed to win because it does not offer tagging in automated posts. Publer allows you to tag in automated posts and batch scheduled posts, even …
Chose Publer
Publer actually uses ChatGPT as a friend, it's not a similar product. You can use ChatGPT inside Publer to increase the quality of the posts and the texts that you can use in the posts, and also the comments in the post, and also other things in the posts. It's great.
Chose Publer
To be honest, I chose Publer because it has a much more accessible pricing structure. AND I loved some of the additional features (like spintax) I couldn't get anywhere else. The others priced BY platform, or I just didn't like how little automation was actually apparent in …
Chose Publer
This is my answer: We tested Hootsuite, Buffer, and Postcron before choosing Publer. Hootsuite offered the features we needed, but its pay-per-seat pricing quickly became too costly for our small, in-house team. Buffer provided a good experience and reliable network coverage, …
Chose Publer
I dont know how the tool was called I used before , but the problem with that tool was, that I had to be online with my computer to post my scheduled postings. With Publer everything will be posted automatically
Chose Publer
The price and the feature are what drove me to Publer. It was cheaper for the features and social accounts I needed. However, Publer is still on the expensive side. I overall will still recommend Publer to be able to start your own social media marketing business. Definitely …
Chose Publer
Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, I chose Publer and am very happy with my choice thus far.
Chose Publer
Easier to use. Free account with limited but relevant functionality for those just starting out or if you want to try Publer first. One of the best value for money social media content management sites I could find.
Chose Publer
At the time of purchasing, Publer was the most cost effective compared to other options considered, and provided the combination of features I needed at the time.

Because of the simplicity of interface, and customer service I have not needed to look elsewhere at all.
Chose Publer
Publer was much easier to use than these other ones, and it didn't feel like they charged as much for incremental additional social accounts. In Publer, I especially liked the way their calendar for scheduling posts was displayed, and I found their bulk upload a lot easier to …
Chose Publer
Hands-down, way better fill in the gaps that we were experiencing with our previous software, so far been very pleased

User Testimonials
FollowerwonkPubler
Likelihood to Recommend
Followerwonk is well-suited for those who are active and at least semi-influential on Twitter. Conversely, it is also very helpful for those just starting out on Twitter as the compare users tab allows for deep comparison to competitors or to those users who you aspire to become more like me in terms of Twitter activity and influence. The many, many analyzation metrics make Followerwonk a very valuable tool for Twitter users looking to grow or just polish their presence, both businesses and individuals alike. I'd recommend Follwerwonk for those who seek to better analyze and refine their social media influence

Publer is a great choice for in-house teams managing multiple sister brands because it combines all networks—Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, Google Business Profiles, YouTube, and Pinterest—into a single drag-and-drop calendar, removing the hassle of separate dashboards and spreadsheets. The platform’s AI-generated captions, evergreen “recycle” rules, and simple approval process keep our content running smoothly and on brand, while built-in analytics offer enough insight to optimise timing and formats without needing enterprise-level features. We haven’t faced any major restrictions; when an API change caused a hiccup, Publer’s support team fixed it within a day. Agencies that require in-depth white-label reporting or detailed short-form video metrics might need additional tools, but for a small or medium-sized enterprise seeking seamless scheduling, quick optimisation, and responsive support, Publer hits the mark.

Cons
  • More Account viewing options on the track followers tab outside of yours and defined competitor's accounts
  • Improvements to the Bio Word Cloud of followers in the Followers tab

  • It would be good to see better integration of the Instagram platform, when it comes to using trending audio, getting template inspiration etc, but this may be limited by the available API.
  • Hashtag analysis and suggestion is pretty limited, and this is a feature in the higher paid accounts.

We will keep using it as long as it remains part of our Moz Pro subscription. If it were separated and the price point did not rise astronomically, we would be very likely to continue using the platform.

Publer is overall pretty easy to use. You can schedule posts very easily, and we have found that new users can pick this up very easily. It could have an improved dashboard and UI that shows the different sections more clearly, but it has still been easy to use overall.

Honestly, I haven't used many other services that compete specifically with Followeronk. One of the reasons for this is that the service Followerwonk offers is typically lumped into other services as additional features or buy-in options. What I like about Followerwonk is that it is easy to use, fast, and I don't have to spend hours or any additional money to get the information I need to be successful.

Return on Investment
  • One initiative our team launched was a series of educational webinars. We have been able to add an average of six new leads per webinar because of social media. If the messages had been delivered at non-peak times, there would be less likelihood of success.
  • When it comes to social media, it's difficult to nail down specific ROI without referencing a specific campaign. However, our team has seen a consistent follower growth with increasing RT's and Favorites. I attribute this to the right content hitting the right people at the right time.
  • Our team has uncovered a number of valuable relationships with other Twitter users in our industry that have helped us increase the reach of our overall marketing message. These relationships were uncovered using Followerwonk's keyword search.

  • Countless hours saved, not only in the initial scheduling, but also in the repurposing/reusing/autoscheduling
  • Peace of mind knowing I can more easily stay consistent with my posting
  • More hours saved on the analytics, which are FAR easier to view trends than in the native platforms
