Considered Both Products	Planable Sorin Ciornei Founder Chose Planable Cheaper, however, Kontentino does have the ability to save hashtags. Incentivized Helpful?	Publer Verified User Anonymous Chose 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Publer More user-friendly, less clunky, runs better, easier to view multiple accounts, and has API access. Incentivized Helpful? Ben Egerton Marketing and Communications Executive Chose Publer 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, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Publer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Publer Much more feature-rich and the best value for money. Incentivized Helpful? Matěj Mauler Content creator Chose Publer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Publer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Stefan Beyer Company Manager Chose Publer - missing support for Mastodon Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Publer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Publer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Hampig Minassian Owner Chose Publer 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 Incentivized Helpful? JA Jonathon Andrews Creative Director Chose Publer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? RC ricardo carvalho owner Chose Publer 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. Incentivized Helpful? BS Brianna Shade Owner Chose Publer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Alikhan Surani Co Founder Chose Publer Super expensive for using on publishing Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Publer the cost of high. Incentivized Helpful? Dimitri Cassimatis Marketing Manager Chose Publer 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, … Incentivized Helpful? Philipp Brugger CEO Chose Publer I dont know how the tool was called I used before , but the problem with that tool was, that I had to be online with my computer to post my scheduled postings. With Publer everything will be posted automatically Incentivized Helpful? Gilbeli Girodier González Owner- CEO Chose Publer The price and the feature are what drove me to Publer. It was cheaper for the features and social accounts I needed. However, Publer is still on the expensive side. I overall will still recommend Publer to be able to start your own social media marketing business. Definitely … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Planable	Publer
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. Sorin Ciornei Founder Read full review	Publer is a great choice for in-house teams managing multiple sister brands because it combines all networks—Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, Google Business Profiles, YouTube, and Pinterest—into a single drag-and-drop calendar, removing the hassle of separate dashboards and spreadsheets. The platform’s AI-generated captions, evergreen “recycle” rules, and simple approval process keep our content running smoothly and on brand, while built-in analytics offer enough insight to optimise timing and formats without needing enterprise-level features. We haven’t faced any major restrictions; when an API change caused a hiccup, Publer’s support team fixed it within a day. Agencies that require in-depth white-label reporting or detailed short-form video metrics might need additional tools, but for a small or medium-sized enterprise seeking seamless scheduling, quick optimisation, and responsive support, Publer hits the mark.

Pros	Plan posts on multiple platforms at once Approval workflow Sorin Ciornei Founder Read full review	I love the CALENDAR view, I think it looks really clean I like how it changes the aspect ratios of the photos between social platforms for me I love how I can simply log in with Google, that is a small detail but it helps I love how I can "preview" to make sure I got everything right I love lamp... Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Add hashtags in the tool so you can save them for future use Sorin Ciornei Founder Read full review	It would be good to see better integration of the Instagram platform, when it comes to using trending audio, getting template inspiration etc, but this may be limited by the available API. Hashtag analysis and suggestion is pretty limited, and this is a feature in the higher paid accounts. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	I love the tool, is simple and useful Gilbeli Girodier González Owner- CEO Read full review
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. Sorin Ciornei Founder Read full review	Publer is overall pretty easy to use. You can schedule posts very easily, and we have found that new users can pick this up very easily. It could have an improved dashboard and UI that shows the different sections more clearly, but it has still been easy to use overall. Incentivized Ben Egerton Marketing and Communications Executive Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	The pages do load very quick but in the the iPad form Gilbeli Girodier González Owner- CEO Read full review
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. Sorin Ciornei Founder Read full review	Every time I have contacted Publer, I get answers right away Gilbeli Girodier González Owner- CEO Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cheaper, however, Kontentino does have the ability to save hashtags.

Scalability	No answers on this topic	I think this is well designed product. I really enjoy that I am able to learn it quick, integrate all the socials very easily Gilbeli Girodier González Owner- CEO Read full review
Return on Investment	Ability to post on any social media platform with 1 click. It adjusts the layout for you, pictures, adding action buttons, etc. Sorin Ciornei Founder Read full review	Countless hours saved, not only in the initial scheduling, but also in the repurposing/reusing/autoscheduling Peace of mind knowing I can more easily stay consistent with my posting More hours saved on the analytics, which are FAR easier to view trends than in the native platforms Incentivized BS Brianna Shade Owner Read full review
