    The free version is more than enough for personal use. But if you have a small business or if you're trying to grow your brand, it's better to use one of the premium plans. It's worth it. Later is especially useful if you manage multiple accounts for multiple brands/companies because you'll be managing everything with just one tool

    Pros
    Later
    • 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.

    Cons
    Later
    • 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.

    • It would be wonderful if Neontools showed a more modern user interface to the eye; the current one still seems a bit opaque.

    Later are not just a software tool, they also provide marketing advice, tips, and tutorials via their blog. I’ve only had to reach out to them for help a few times and have found them to respond much faster than other tools in their category. I receive weekly emails with updates, marketing tips and invites to online events. I look forward to their emails as I’ve learned a lot of things that I’ve been able to actually implement.

    I went with Later for the lower cost subscription. The Hootsuite copy features is missed, but Later has hashtag suggestions which is nice. I really need something to post across multiple platforms. I also needed the ability to schedule more than the 5 free scheduled posts offered by Hootsuite. Later has been working great for what I need it to do to support my small event promotion business.

    Return on Investment
    Later
    • 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.

    • Neontools is great for uncovering hidden interests to effectively target our audience through Facebook Ads, as well as a UTM generator for designing our own campaigns.
    • The use of Neontools for the analysis and aggregation of commercial accounts in social networks leads to the construction of our own samples.
