Considered Both Products	HeyOrca Verified User Anonymous Chose HeyOrca HeyOrca is definitely more for the agency level than Hootsuite. Hootsuite is fairly limited, even at its larger plans.

Morgan Alverson Content Strategist Chose HeyOrca Much easier to use and understand. HeyOrca does what they do and they do it best, they don't complicate it with other things like Sprout Social does.

User Testimonials
	HeyOrca	PLANOLY
Likelihood to Recommend	If you are looking for a great way to create, send for approval, and schedule/post social content, you won't find anything easier or more straightforward than HeyOrca. Especially great if you need multiple people to approve or have multiple social accounts to manage. HeyOrca also gives you a great overview of all social media and an idea of the strategy and how it all works together. Incentivized Morgan Alverson Content Strategist Read full review	The visual grid feature is my favourite feature of PLANOLY as it allows me to see how my content will look before I post it. I haven`t found this feature with other social media planners Incentivized Namrata Agarwal Managing Director Read full review
Pros	HeyOrca has outstanding customer service. Whenever I have a question or issue I contact the HeyOrca team and they respond within minutes. They go above and beyond to help you resolve any issues and communicate to make sure the issue is fixed and everything is ready to go. They also make sure to ask you if there is anything else you need. HeyOrca notifies you if any of your posts don't have a valid link or if the post needs to be edited. This is convenient because I can go in, know there is an issue, and then make changes accordingly. HeyOrca has an amazing user-friendly layout. My clients love it because it's easy to see and it allows them to comment on any post.

Cons	We had some issues with the timing of posts and posts not going out when they updated their platform recently. Missing out on posting directly to Instagram (we have to use another platform for this). Doesn't support Instagram stories, so we have to denote which ones are for Instagram stories and which ones are for Instagram newsfeed. Incentivized Morgan Alverson Content Strategist Read full review	overall not very many points I would add for improvement Incentivized MT Maria Trujillo Publicist Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	We decided today that we were renewing our use Incentivized Lydia Tissandier Assistant Art Director Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Hey Orca has a lot of really great features, they make the workflow really easy and are extremely available for help with questions. I think there are some minor workflow issues that it could overcome and features it could add on that are available in other apps. It definitely doesn't offer the best analytics and also hasn't offered single image direct publishing like hootsuite does. Yet, it's benefits outweigh those minor inconveniences for our team Incentivized Lydia Tissandier Assistant Art Director Read full review	PLANOLY is super easy to use. We just need to connect our Instagram account and start working in just a few clicks Incentivized Namrata Agarwal Managing Director Read full review
Support Rating	Support is really helpful and always giving their best to assist us. Incentivized Hüseyin Dal Head of Enterprise Systems Read full review	The support team was instantly responsive and were always happy to answer even the simplest software question. I knew that my clients would be in good hands should I not be available for any scheduling question through the support team. Everything was always impeccably handled in a timely manner! 100% satisfaction. Incentivized MT Maria Trujillo Publicist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Hootsuite is definitely a popular platform and we used to use it but felt as though it wasn't super client friendly. We had a lot of confused clients that found it harder to understand and monitor their social content. I think HeyOrca does a better job with the calendar layout and features.

Return on Investment	Sustains our clients due to its layout and user-friendliness Doesn't really allow for a lot of SEO work in the platform which doesn't help get clients Incentivized Michael Neubert New Sales Consultant Read full review	It allowed us to engage with potential customers for clients in an easy way Our follower count went up by a steady 100 followers per week Our numbers for viewers on videos and IG Lives doubled Incentivized MT Maria Trujillo Publicist Read full review
