Hootsuite vs Later

• Allows the same posts to be placed on multiple sites
• Schedules posts
• Crops photos according to each platform
• Provides a calendar layout
• The option to shorten links... can you make it so the shortened links are visible in the viewer prior to scheduling the post?

• Later's easy upload feature (drag and drop) is incredibly helpful, especially for multiple images and videos.
• The drag and drop option for scheduling content is easy, and images and videos load rather quickly depending on size.
• Captions can be saved if there are posts or common phrases that repeated and shared out from the content.

• The arbitrary limit of 5 scheduled posts is very frustrating. This limit used to be higher and it seems they lowered it just to get more money
• Limit on number of accounts that can be hooked up on the free platform
• Sometimes the stream moves very quickly and there is no way that I have found to halt it so that I can read something before it scrolls off... this is mostly for my Home Twitter stream that tracks posts by those I follow

• I wish I could edit the look and feel of my pictures within Later a little easier. There are standard filters, but for brand sake, I need everything to be consistent.
• I wish there was a direct integration with things like Canva and Lightroom to make uploading and editing my images seamless.
• The biggest thing I wish Later did was allowing a better threshold for the free accounts. All of the helpful and useful features are for paid only (video posts, multi-image posts, analytics, etc). I can't justify the cost for just a few posts a month. I end up doing all of the video and multi-image posts manually, which lately has me questioning the benefit of Later's free version as a small business.

• I have been able to evaluate which posts, in general, do well and figure out what types of posts to make (content)
• It's been harder however to compare on social medial platform compared to another because it's hard to duplicate a post with a new owly (I think you used to be able to) but more so, you also can't assign it a custom owly link so I can see at a glance which owly link was associated with what platform.

• Increased social media involvement - Since utilizing Later and another social media scheduling tool, we have seen our growth rise as much as 12% in just a few months. This includes followers, likes, and engagement. This is huge for us since social media is a great way to generate new customers and increase brand awareness.
• Easier reporting - Analytics tools on most of the big three (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) are pretty limited. Later is a great way to take a look at our Analytics, and it makes it easy to understand the numbers.
