Chose PromoRepublic
I don't think there is a huge difference between the both, PromoRepublic and NapoleanCat. PromoRepublic takes that edge by having more social media networks, where NapoleanCat has only a few social media networks.
Chose PromoRepublic
Radaars basic functionality does the same thing but it’s more robust than PromoRepublic because it has such features as ability to manage chats across several platforms. Further, Radaar offers the ability to post directly to Tik Tok which PromoRepublic does not do. And given …
Chose PromoRepublic
We primarily use Promo Republic for clients who have smaller budgets as the cost for PromoRepublic is less than some of the competing platforms.

PromoRepublic does make it easier to track separate locations/pages that may fall under one company. This can be great for an …
Chose PromoRepublic
I enjoy PromoRepublic and would probably choose it over any of the other scheduling tools I've tried, because of the quick support, ease of use, and other benefits I've spoken about in this review. It definitely makes working with freelancers easier, as creating notes for them, …
Chose PromoRepublic
PromoRepublic is more built for agencies and was also more affordable than Hootsuite and Buffer. Price was a factor in my search, but usability was just as important. PromoRepublic created ease by separating each of my clients' accounts. Can save posts so I could reuse at …
Chose PromoRepublic
The templates and ease of creating and customizing a post is far better than any other solutions I've tried in the past.
Chose PromoRepublic
Ultimately I selected PR because I was able to get it for a one-time cost rather than a subscription, but now that I'm used to it I couldn't imagine life without it. I've only used the free versions of the other platforms, so my experience with PR is obviously superior. …
Chose PromoRepublic
The post ideas and creator definitely make PromoRepublic more of a one-stop shop. I can create, post, and study analytics all in one spot.
Chose PromoRepublic
Hootsuite is what my office primarily uses and it's good. I just prefer the way you can see all the posts in the calendar dashboard on PromoRepublic and I like that it has fresh curated content for me to peruse.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
It needs the ability to save hashtags. Some of the other tools offer this, so I emailed Planable and asked them to consider adding it.

PromoRepublic is excellent for collaboration, such as working with freelancers, or clients who want to leave notes and be responsible for final approval. It's also good for brands who need ideas about what to post on a daily basis, as their idea library is quite extensive. The image creation tool is also good for beginners, with plenty of templates, though it isn't as extensive as Canva. It's definitely a solid option for social media management. Can't think of a situation where it wouldn't be appropriate.

Pros
  • Plan posts on multiple platforms at once
  • Approval workflow
Read full review
  • Generates post ideas and curated content. If I'm out of ideas on content for the week/month I can usually peruse their prepared content to generate ideas.
  • Timed posting based on our current engagement rates. Helps me to decide the ideal times to post to ensure the greatest amount of engagement.
  • Easy post editor. Has a plethora of images and fonts I can use to make an eye-catching copy for our social media.

Cons
  • Add hashtags in the tool so you can save them for future use

  • I'd like to be able to drag and drop posts to different dates and times from the calendar view.
  • I'd like to be able to duplicate an entire post from the calendar view and drag it to another date and time.

Usability
It does what you need, but could have a bit more features for the price. $30 a month just to post things on Facebook or Instagram is a bit steep, given that that's all you can do.

The user interface is very straight forward and easy to use. They also make it incredibly simple edit premade post ideas as well as create your own. You can connect all of the basic social media platforms which makes it great for individuals looking to streamline their scheduling process to get more content out

Support Rating
Emailed them a month ago to add hashtags, but they didn't add the functionality yet. Given that the product has stayed exactly the same since, I'm guessing the developers don't want to add this feature so I give the support a rating of 1.

Cheaper, however, Kontentino does have the ability to save hashtags.
