    Obviously, Meta business manager doesn't work with other than Meta platforms so Publer is far more useful: In Publer I can post to youtube and tiktok and linkedin, in addition to facebook (company page) and instagram. Also in terms of the ease of use I would recommend 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 …

    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, …

    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 …

    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.

    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 …

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 …

    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.

    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 …

    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, …

    Where Publer is well suited: + Organisation of multiple social media accounts for when you have multiple brands + The integration of Google Maps makes it easy to organise multiple locations + Calendar with a nice overview makes it easy to see your social media planning for the following period of time Where it is less suited for: - Comparing competition and ideal posting time is quite a surplus in cost - No native Dutch version

    Pros
    Kalemi
    • A unified drag-and-drop calendar with genuine native previews allows us to bulk-upload images or videos, shuffle posts between dates and platforms, and see exactly how each platform (FB, IG, TikTok, Threads, etc.) will display before we hit “Schedule.”
    • Role-based approvals that streamline teamwork: interns draft, managers approve, and the audit trail ensures that nothing inconsistent slips through.
    • Quick-glance analytics built right into the calendar, surface engagement spikes, best-time suggestions and post-level stats without exporting to another tool, so we can tweak campaigns on the spot.

    Cons
    Kalemi
    • Some IG features are currently missing, like syncing with trending sounds, but I think that's more of an API limitation than a fault with Publer
    • The website interface can be a bit challenging to navigate. It isn't quite as intuitive as I'd like with where things are placed.
    • Some of the terms are confusing, like "recycling" and "recurring." I wish they'd combine these two particular posting options into one.
    • I'd also love to see better integration with my personalized AI, trained on my business.

    Usability
    Kalemi
    The menu is very clear. The big green button for adding a post makes it obvious where to post from. There are all the tools I might need for scheduling, and more. I gave a 9 instead of 10 because I find the "Explore" menu to be superfluous for the way I use Publer and feel it adds clutter to the experience. But honestly - I can just not go to that menu and it's fine.
