Each tool had strengths, but Zoho Social stood out for its streamlined publishing workflow, cross-platform reliability, intuitive calendar, and overall stability. It’s the one I ultimately stuck with for daily multi-brand posting.
Chose Zoho Social
I've used buffer app for years. At first it was the only one. Then it was the only one for the small business owner. The Zoho Social came along and reimagined post creation and post scheduling and now, in my experience, it's just much better. In my opinion, Zoho Social is …
Chose Zoho Social
I've found Zoho Social provides a much wider range of options and some are to a much more detailed level.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social has much more featured in one place. Also have more advanced AI assistance per channel as well as option to schedule comments for each social post which helps a lot.
Chose Zoho Social
Wix doesn't offer enough channels, not easy to use. No calendar. Really just promoting blogs or things you put on the Wix website, very limited.
Hootsuite doesn't give enough value for what it costs.
SocialPilot connections break between accounts too often, not user friendly.
Chose Zoho Social
First - it's a tool that integrates with most platforms we've seen.
Second, it's simplicity makes it work seamlessly
It might lack some more creative features, but this it's made to help you manage, not create.

I chose Zoho Social for the ease of use. I'm price conscious, being that I'm just starting out in my social media marketing journey. I can easily track my progress and see where I need to make adjustments because of the tools provided.
Chose Zoho Social

Chose Zoho Social
Honestly the primary benefit to Zoho Social is that It is a far cheaper alternative to Hootsuite, though it seems to do many of the same things!
Chose Zoho Social
Much cheaper and has basically the same feature set.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social is just better in every way.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social is more reliable than Buffer. Buffer sometimes has technical issues where posts don't go out after being scheduled.

Hootsuite has gotten way too expensive.

Zoho Social's free tier and low tier is more feature packed.

Zoho
We have a few videos to share on our social media accounts: Linked in, facebook, instagram, twitter, youtube, another personal youtube account, and tiktok. First of the videos will be shared now, but the second one should be shared 3 hours later, and the third one 6 hours later. Also, with some text, on each share... You give this job to a personnel and thrust they will be fast enough to login those accounts and share the content almost at the same time, with no mistakes on the texts we use, and you thing you are done, right? It doesn't work that way in real life situations. However, you can share the same text and video to every platform momentarily by clicking a button by Zoho Social. you can also schedule posts to be shared later at a certain time and date. Now, you can concentrate to develop the character and details of your campaign. And, also, now, you have a personnel who can be useful at some other work

Cons
Zoho
  • I wanted to use the ability to have Zoho queue the posts, but I wanted to choose the start time of the first post for a few days in the future and I did not find an easy way to set that.
  • I wish there were a box with a cheat sheet of the sizes that each social media platform allows for it's video and pictures in the dialogue box for posting so I can be sure to choose appropriate content.
  • I do think it's a bit expensive, especially for my needs, but I like the ease of use. I will continue to do what I can to get this service discounted until I can no longer afford it.

Support Rating
Zoho
I have not needed support for Zoho Social. This comment requirement is confusing to me as I must find text to fill the requirement of a minimum of 50 words. There should be a non-applicable button that allows either user to skip a question or then require a shorter explanation like in my first sentence. Geez, now I have to give a rating while never using the feature.

Alternatives Considered
Zoho
Zoho Social is a great social media management tool that allows businesses, and individuals, to manage multiple social media accounts, schedule posts, track analytics, and engage with followers. It competes well with other social media management tools such as Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social, Agora Pulse, and Hubspot. Zoho Social stands out for its integration capabilities with other Zoho applications and affordability for small to medium-sized businesses. Each tool has its own strengths and weaknesses, and businesses should evaluate them based on their specific needs and goals. The biggest fallacy for Zoho is its restriction on scheduling tools on the free plan who have social and personal needs. I believe this can be circumvented by Zoho periodically making an advertisement to one's feed.

Return on Investment
Zoho
  • I had a month-long delay in launching my website. Zoho Social allowed me to continue to build an audience and anticipation while the website technical issues were worked out.
  • The free trial meant I could give it a good try before spending any of my precious startup budget.
