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Loomly is by far my favorite out of all the platforms I've tried because it is the easiest to use and does not feel outdated.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 …
Zoho Social
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho is much beter than using a professional service. You have more flexibility. You can post more material and the reports are much better
Chose Zoho Social
too early to tell as I am still in the discovery phase with Zoho Social. A lot will come down to the advanced functionality available via the premium level which I have not had access to just yet. Connecting the accounts is as straight forward as the other platforms we have …
Chose Zoho Social
Before opting for Zoho Social for NextLevel Marketing, we utilized Buffer to manage our digital outreach. While Buffer is a solid tool for basic scheduling, we found it lacked the deep strategic alignment. We chose Zoho Social because it offers a more comprehensive ecosystem …
Chose Zoho Social
That tool is very expensive and each channel has to be paid with a huge amount of money. As a little company it is absolutely not affordable to get that type of social media manager. there are noe pricing plans for small businesses so we had to get rid of that expensive tools.
Chose Zoho Social
I feel that the biggest advantages are the ability to post across platforms and the ease and speed of bulk processing.Frankly, SocialDog has been getting worse over time, and with Buffer, the UI often froze when there were too many bulk processes, which actually made things …
Chose Zoho Social
Easy to use interface and cost efficient along with an ecosystem of products like Zoho Sales IQ, Cliq & Campaigns.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho beat Hootsuite on price, coming down from the hundreds a month of Hootsuite into something affordable. Being very affordable when paid for for the year. It beat Buffer by being cleaner, and more usable than Buffer in the paid offerings.
Generally, the interface and …
Chose Zoho Social
It is very hard to fully compare all four. I used trial versions for 3 and a paid one for the last one. What I do acknowledge is the fact that Zoho Social is integrated with an even bigger platform of tools in a away that social media management can be linked back to the …
Chose Zoho Social
Easier to use and manage, and cheaper.
Chose Zoho Social
Better free trials with Zoho. better analytics and realtime notifications from each platform. more detailed reports. overviews of all platforms at once
Chose Zoho Social
We used TweetDeck in the past. Zoho Social is a more complete product with more social media platform options.
Chose Zoho Social
It's better than the alternatives
Chose Zoho Social
It is more intuitive, cleaner interface, not so busy.
Chose Zoho Social
Evaluated Hootsuite as the primary alternative. While Hootsuite offers more advanced AI features, its pricing is significantly higher. Zoho Social offers better value for small-to-medium teams, with a simpler interface, faster onboarding, and seamless integration with the Zoho …
While there are more than 50 platforms out there that I have indeed used, Zoho has been the best hands down. ACI Payments is selected here because out of 50, they could be 40-50. Zoho has been tremendous in assisting and being exactly what I need. I would take it over most …
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social gives access to many more social channels than Buffer, which even with paid accounts becomes exorbitantly expensive if you want more than a few channels.
Chose Zoho Social
Firstly being an Indian using an Indian tool is a proud feeling for me so Zoho stands out in that. Next it has clean UI Clean funtions simple use case multiple benefits no need to share the password with anyone. It has very simple-to-use functions for any non-tech person to …
Chose Zoho Social
I've used buffer app for years. At first it was the only one. Then it was the only one for the small business owner. The Zoho Social came along and reimagined post creation and post scheduling and now, in my experience, it's just much better. In my opinion, Zoho Social is …

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

We have a few videos to share on our social media accounts: Linked in, facebook, instagram, twitter, youtube, another personal youtube account, and tiktok. First of the videos will be shared now, but the second one should be shared 3 hours later, and the third one 6 hours later. Also, with some text, on each share... You give this job to a personnel and thrust they will be fast enough to login those accounts and share the content almost at the same time, with no mistakes on the texts we use, and you thing you are done, right? It doesn't work that way in real life situations. However, you can share the same text and video to every platform momentarily by clicking a button by Zoho Social. you can also schedule posts to be shared later at a certain time and date. Now, you can concentrate to develop the character and details of your campaign. And, also, now, you have a personnel who can be useful at some other work

  • The Calendar view displaying published posts would be a great feature. You can view published posts displayed in a list, but when scheduling and arranging posts based on a calendar, seeing upcoming posts as well as past posts can be very helpful.

I am enjoying using Zoho Social and I look forward to really unwrapping what it has to offer. I need to be able to essentially offload all my social media posting and work so that I can do the actual work of sewing clothes, which is what my business actually does. This way, I can spend a few weeks making different types of content while also sewing clothes and post the content in a way that builds a story for my business and is entertaining.

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.

Haven't really used the service yet, only got a few automatic emails when I registered, and everything seem to be working fine. I hope never to really need support. The less suport you need using an app the better, to be honest. I prefer to be able to use it without help

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 for that, I'd probably say another platform might be better. But for me, Loomly is perfect!

Evaluated Hootsuite as the primary alternative. While Hootsuite offers more advanced AI features, its pricing is significantly higher. Zoho Social offers better value for small-to-medium teams, with a simpler interface, faster onboarding, and seamless integration with the Zoho ecosystem. Our main decision factor was cost efficiency paired with adequate feature coverage for our needs.

Return on Investment

  • Zoho Social allows me to "see" my messaging planning weeks into the future. I can create themes for a week or month and easily see how it performs.
  • Having all my social accounts in one place saves me time.
  • It is too early for any ROI from Zoho but the amount of content I am putting out has increased by at least 400%.
