Publer vs. Unmetric (discontinued)

If you don't want to have a complicated management of different platforms, and don't want to spend too much money on a social media management platform, Publer is the right thing for you. It's easy to use, and you can modify your package as you go, meaning if you want to add or remove accounts, you can do it one by one, no global thing needed. I really needed that, so I recommend it. You can also give access to someone to use it which is very useful for my community manager.

Unmetric is great when you need to do quantitative analysis of social media posts, whether you own the posts or not. Newer features like segment creation where you can get results by keyword or category are amazing time-savers for certain tasks (like if you're looking at posts about fruit and want to see how posts that mention "bananas" perform you can do that right in the dashboard). Hopefully, they'll soon allow you to build and save those filters so you don't have to recreate them every time you do a task. While in the past I'd only recommend this platform for keeping a pulse on unowned content, the new tools make the platform useful even for reviewing owned content, as you may be able to save time on content coding tasks- it seems like that's the direction they're headed anyway

• Constant updates.

• Unless I don't know about it there's no option to see what a post would look like in your existing feed (e.g. instagram).
• Occasionally I have had issues with things not working (but they do always get fixed).
• I think the analytics could be a little more detailed, such as what types of engagement a post got.

Incentivized

• The interface is slightly different for each social channel, which is confusing for novice users. I wish they'd standardize their naming schemes and dashboards, to the extent they can be with the different platforms.
• They'll add and implement new features but won't tell you- I came back into the platform to discover they'd applied a weighting scheme to my engagement rate that messed up my findings.
• Sometimes the platform just stops working.
• Support sits in India so there's no way to get answers fast if you have a question or issue.

I chose Publer because it seemed to play really well with LinkedIn and that was the only channel I was planning to use it for. The main reason I use Publer and not anything else is the Recycling Feature. That is a brilliant feature and lets me keep my posting queue full without having to always be creaing new content

I haven't used Simply Measured in a few years, mostly because it was just too expensive for what we needed it for and Unmetric provided what we needed at a reasonable price. I also had an issue with how big the Simply Measured files were- they often froze analysts' computers, and the first task was to delete unused tabs to reduce the file size.

Incentivized

• I can on-charge the price of the subscription within my package, so I can charge it out for what I want, allowing me to make some profit
• Every one of my clients has loved using it, so they are more inclined to keep using our social media services
• Publer helps my business to look professional

Incentivized

• Increased employee efficiency
• Better customer service
