Chose Vista Social
What really made Vista Social stand out to me was the price. I was previously using Buffer and decided to give it a try when it was running a deal. Although it was a challenge to get the hang of at first, I'm glad that I did.

PLANOLY
Planoly is perfect for managing social media accounts for business or public figures. It would work great for personal use as well but maybe wouldn't be as necessary. For business purposes, it changes the game! Having something that is easy to teach colleagues to use is one of the most important features I looked for when choosing a social media management platform

I usually create all of the social posts myself in-house, and often find I get writer's block. With the help of the AI assistant on Vista Social, I have been able to come up with significantly more captions, much faster than before!

PLANOLY is super easy to use. We just need to connect our Instagram account and start working in just a few clicks

Vista Social earns a solid 9 out of 10 for its overall usability. The user interface takes some time to figure out how to navigate, but the scheduling features are excellent. The inclusion of a centralized dashboard for monitoring multiple social media accounts enhances usability for businesses with diverse online presence. A more extensive knowledge base or interactive tutorials could enhance the initial learning curve for new users, ensuring they unlock the platform's full potential from the start. Despite this, Vista Social remains a great and efficient tool for managing social media content.

PLANOLY
The support team was instantly responsive and were always happy to answer even the simplest software question. I knew that my clients would be in good hands should I not be available for any scheduling question through the support team. Everything was always impeccably handled in a timely manner! 100% satisfaction.

I have tried an AI tool called Vocable and used Google Sheets to plan my content. PLANOLY is better because of the visual grid feature. However, vocable is better in terms of the variety of content. With Vocable, we can create text content for Instagram, YouTube, and Linkedin, Product pages, SEO meta titles, descriptions, email newsletters, Blog posts etc. However, PLANOLY is only limited to Instagram and Pinterest.

Vista Social has a feature that allows you to customize your text's font, size, style, and thickness, while Meta Business Suite does not. Vista Social also integrates more social media platforms compared to the others. Their calendar is also more organized and easier to adjust or edit. Lastly, Vista Social generates better result reports.
