Considered Both Products
Loomly
Chose Loomly
Loomly is by far my favorite out of all the platforms I've tried because it is the easiest to use and does not feel outdated.

Prior to switching to Loomly, I was using Planoly - great tool but for smaller businesses and creators. It's not great for managing a large number of …
Chose Loomly
Loomly is the best that I have tried. It's user friendly and it's cost effective. I LOVE it! Other content management software are more pricey and have been more difficult to work with user interfaces. Loomly is great at scheduling and looking at a calendar view for content …
Chose Loomly
I found Loomly, while more simple, to be the most worth the price. Especially because I specifically can view analytics on client accounts directly, there's no need for me to have it within my platform. However, I know this is crucial for a lot of people. If they're looking …
Chose Loomly
This software is easy to use and you can add all team members and clients.
You can select the social media for each client and schedule and plan content from there. It is also easy to engage with the audience like reply to messages and comments. With the two types of preview …
Publer
Chose Publer
In our opinion, Sendible is poorly designed and takes too many menus, clicks, opens and closes to perform a simple task. Their pricing structure changes suddenly with price increases and loss of seats. Socialbee was a contender but had restraints for a multi brand company that …
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

Loomly is the best. Truly I love it. It has been super helpful to send quick videos to remote co-workers and feel like we are sitting face to face getting work done. It's increased productivity and its great for managing my calendar and sending what I need to, when I need to

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
  • Ability to change the background
  • Takes a while to create a drafted post for scheduling
  • More post ideas around holidays and observances
Read full review
  • 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.

Usability
It's easy to use. I think that's one of the key selling points. I've used trials of other social media management platforms, and they've been more difficult to introduce to my clients, which drives a wedge. Loomly has been fairly easy to introduce my clients to, therefore optimising review timelines and ease.

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.

  • 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
