I had almost the same pros and cons by using the two softwares, even though on one side Zoho Social gave me tips and hints about the scheduling process (something that hootsuite does not have as a feature). At the beginning I thought this was a valuable point, but then the …
Hootsuite's free account was sufficient for use on behalf of our client. When they restructured their pricing model and eliminated free and affordable subscriptions suitable for a small business, we found that Zoho Social was an excellent replacement. The interface was simpler …
While Planable was easy in onboarding and performed well in scheduling, it is limited in scope. Its pricing is also not conducive to a growing agency as you need to pay for your client's profile in order to access their approval functionality. While the simplicity of the …

Chose Zoho Social
Hootsuite was much harder to navigate, was far more expensive, and didn't really do what it said it could do.
I believe Zoho Social does everything Hootsuite did for me with less of impact on my wallet. Hootsuite increased their prices to ridiculous levels without actually improving their service. I know I'm not the only person that noticed and moved to another service. This is where …
Zoho Social is a great social media management tool that allows businesses, and individuals, to manage multiple social media accounts, schedule posts, track analytics, and engage with followers. It competes well with other social media management tools such as Hootsuite, …
I like Zoho Social, because it is affordable, beginner friendly and gives everything I need in one platform. If you have zero experience with CRM platforms, you can hop right on in and start using it with no issues or any prior knowledge. I highly recommend for anyone who wants …

Zoho has the exact same feature but it can be better with AI integration and stock image collection.
I've always used the best tools in the industry and would highly recommend them nonetheless. However, Zoho has successfully created the one-stop-shop that delivers on the major tools needed to successfully run multiple brands digitally, AND create easier flows for making sales …
I find Buffer's interface more difficult to use and the reports do not have as many features as Zoho Social and are not customizable. I also don't find their engagement tab useful.

Chose Zoho Social
It gives more options to autopublish and schedule posts in several social media channels. It gives a free trial and you can extend it for more days and even months, that is something that I have not found in other free versions. Also the prices of the plans are cheaper than …
Zoho Social beats them all. All the other platforms were buggy, clunky and difficult to use, even from the apps. I have spent years trying all of the other options. I seriously wish I had found Zoho Social sooner.
