Chose Vista Social
There is no comparison, Vista Social is a much more complete, practical and easy-to-use platform.
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

Vista Social
Vista Social is well-suited for small to mid-sized teams that manage multiple social platforms and need to handle messages, comments, and mentions efficiently from a single inbox, while automating to reduce manual work. It may be less appropriate for very large enterprises that require highly customized reporting or complex approval workflows across large, distributed teams.

  • Auto post feature

Vista Social
  • The design and layout of the site is simple, with the options to click through the different tools on the left hand side of the page. What I liked most about Vista Social is the ability to combine all the different tools that a social media manager needs into one platform.
  • I typically use various different apps and platforms to write down notes, assign tasks to different team members, and look at my overall content calendar for the month. It is brilliant that Vista Social is able to combine all of these into one platform.
  • When first signing up to Vista Social and exploring the platform, each page offers you a walkthrough of all of the tools available to you, which is really handy, as well as a customer support section on the right bottom hand corner.

Cons
PLANOLY
  • overall not very many points I would add for improvement
Read full review
Vista Social
  • I think the price is quite high compared to hiring a person for the same task. This may put one off from purchasing as with a bit more time you can do the same job yourself or with an employee for much less
  • In my opinion, the interface is rather complicated visually and doesn't have an appeal. It is cramped with so many features that provide a sense of confusion whilst starting off
  • In my experience, the tutorials do leave a few questions afterwards regarding set up and this can take more time to figure out by yourself.

Support Rating
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.

While they all offer basic scheduling and publishing, Vista Social stands out by combining content creation (with Canva), AI-powered captions, inbox management, task organization, and performance tracking , all in one platform. It saves time and gives me more control, without needing to jump between multiple tools.

  • The DM automation feature means we're not missing out on important messages when we're off the clock (after hours essentially), which is a huge advantage in hospitality where response time is everything.
  • In most cases, time is money, and being able to manage all our platforms from one place has cut down hours of switching between apps and tabs. That in itself has boosted our company's productivity and allowed the team to respond faster to guests and potential leads.
  • The real-time insights and mentions helps us tweak content and react to trends quicker, which has increased our visibility and bookings.
