One key use case is the ability to schedule social media posts on multiple platforms simultaneously, saving valuable time and effort.

Another standout use case is the analytics feature, which provides powerful insights into brand interaction.

Furthermore, Kuku.io stands out for its wide range of supported platforms. Users can connect and manage social media accounts from platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Telegram, and Tumblr. Notably, the platform even allows scheduling of posts on Facebook groups, a feature that sets it apart from other social media marketing tools. This capability has been highly appreciated by users who work with Facebook groups as part of their marketing efforts. Additionally, Kuku.io allows users to write one post and distribute it across multiple channels, further enhancing convenience and streamlining content creation.

Despite its strengths, it is worth noting that some users have expressed concerns about a decrease in the quality of service and ongoing issues with the platform. These frustrations have led some customers to cancel their subscriptions. However, it is important to consider these experiences in conjunction with the overall positive feedback received for Kuku.io's range of valuable features that help users save time, gain insights, and manage their social media presence effectively.

Powerful yet friendly user interface: Several users have found the user interface of the social media management tool to be powerful yet friendly, making it easy to manage social media profiles in a single place.

Quick execution of tasks and seamless integration: The quick execution of tasks and the seamless integration with most social media websites were appreciated by many users, providing them with a smooth experience while managing their social media accounts.

Efficient and easy-to-use scheduling tool: The scheduling tool has been praised by multiple users for its efficiency and ease of use. They describe it as working like a charm, allowing them to schedule posts effortlessly.

Stuck Software: Some users have reported that the software can get stuck at times, leading to frustration and a delay in completing tasks.

No iOS App: Several reviewers have expressed disappointment in the lack of an iOS app for KUKU.io. This is especially problematic for users who heavily rely on their iPads for work and would prefer to manage their social media scheduling on their mobile devices.

Limitations in Individual Plan: Many users have found limitations in the individual plan offered by KUKU.io. These limitations include only being able to add five social accounts and schedule a maximum of 500 posts. As a result, some users have opted for other platforms like Agora Pulse and SocialPilot which offer more flexibility and higher limits.

I have worked as a marketing manger in-house and at agencies, as well as a freelance social media manager alongside these roles. I have been using KUKU.io for three years to schedule social media posts in all of these roles.

I was using KUKU as it allowed me to schedule posts in advance, saving me time during the working day and allowing me to do a week/month in advance when I had spare time.

However, I have recently decided to cancel my subscription to Kuku because the quality of the service has really decreased and the support team are unwilling to fix ongoing issues with the platform.
  • I wouldn't say ther are any particularly good things about KUKU.io that set them apart from any other scheduling tool.
  • io corrupts headlines of articles you reshare. When you schedule a post with a URL in it, the Title of the blog post that is displayed below the picture/preview gets corrupted. So if you add any text in with the URL, that will replace the headline. I have noticed this on both LinkedIn and Twitter.
  • Very poor support team. I have found that the support team at KUKU.io are extremely rude, unwilling to help you and take a long time to reply. On some occasions I have had to message them three times in the chatbot for them to even reply. None of these times has the issue been resolved. When I reported to them that KUKU.io was corrupting headlines, at first they refused to take responsibility. Finally, they admitted it was the platforms fault but said they were not doing anything at that time to fix it.
  • Analytics are poor. The analytics suite in KUKU.io does not give you anything analytics for LinkedIn. The ones it provides for Twitter you can get directly from Twitter. So no value is added there.
  • You cannot tag LinkedIn accounts. I use HubSpot to schedule social media posts which allows you to tag companies at least. KUKU.io cannot.
If you would like a reliable scheduling tool, KUKU.io is not the one to use. If you like to share lots of industry news, secondary content, or content from your website/blog, be aware that KUKU.io will corrupt the preview headline. You would be far better off using another scheduling tool.

I have now changed to a free tool and it has all the same capabilities without this corruption issue. I also used paid ones which are equally good.

The people that use KUKU.io:
The Marketing Team - to schedule blog posts, industry news
Account Managers - to schedule social media posts on behalf of clients
C-level executives - to check posts that are going out of their own accounts
Social media managers - to oversee, and post on behalf of the business, clients, executives.

All are unhappy with the service KUKU.io provides.

  • io has crashed a few times for whole days, or been under maintenance without prior warning. This has happened on a few occasions where I have need to schedule time sensitive posts. During this time no support was available and I had to posts social media posts manually in all channels.
  • io corrupting the headline of social media posts has caused friction with clients as they were unhappy with the service. People in their network noticed the poor quality of the posts and commented that there was something wrong with them. This was an ongoing issue and happened with every single post coming out of KUKU.
  • Before this issue happened, KUKU was great for saving time because I could schedule posts in advance. This saved me hours in a day, and meant I could managed my multiple freelance and permanent roles. However, due to Kuku corrupting posts I can no longer do this.
I have also used: ContentStudio.io

Aside from TweetDeck, all of these scheduling tools are preferable to Kuku because you can schedule posts in advance across multiple channels and accounts. If you're just using Twitter then TweetDeck is a great option to use and very reliable.

Out of all of them I would recommend ContentStudio.io. You can add many accounts, across a range of platforms. You can clone posts that you would like to post more than once which not all scheduling tools offer.

Here is a review of the others:
Buffer - Buffer has a really nice interface. It is probably the best looking scheduling tool with the cleanest, simplest website. Sometimes I had issues with Buffer where it would stop posting and none of my scheduled posts would go out so I stopped using it. Since then, they may have fixed this issue.

Zoho - I have never had any issues with posts not coming out/not coming out correctly from Zoho. However, Zoho probably has the ugliest interface. You also cannot see your posts in a 'calendar' only a list, which is very unhelpful. You also cannot clone posts.

HubSpot - HubSpot supports a range of platforms (all the ones I have needed). You can tag LinkedIn company accounts which is a huge plus. It is really easy to schedule similar/the same posts across a range of platforms all at the same time.







Yes
KUKU.io replaced Buffer as we were having issues with Buffer not sending out scheduled posts.
  • Price
  • Product Usability
We thought it was a cheap option that would be reliable to send posts out. We have now had to change to ContentStudio.io because it was not reliable.
The support team are extremely rude and often unresponsive.

All of the issues I have reported to Kuku has been responded to with "we are not looking to resolve this issue at this time."

On a few occasions, they have tried to deny the issue lies with them, before evidence has been provided. Then, they have refused to fix the issue.
Yes
Yes, KUKU.io was corrupting social media posts. After three attempts with an unresponsive support agent they said they were not looking to resolve the issue at this time.

They were very rude and difficult to work with.

I am the one doing the scheduling and planning of all the post for Twitter, G+ and LinkedIn. The most important thing is convenience. You can write one post and use it for all channels. I am planning my months in advance and schedule all my post for at least 2 weeks in advance, plus the posts that are spontaneous.
  • It is easy to use and setup.
  • Nice and clean UI
  • Great support if you need help or if you have any kind of feedback.
  • I am missing an iOS app. Since I am a heavy iPad Pro user an app would be much appreciated.
If you are using a lot of social media channels KUKU.io can help you to save a lot of time. Writing once and publishing it everywhere including scheduling your posts is the best.

  • Since I am using KUKU.io it saved me a ton of time I am able to spend on other things.
  • Buffer
I think Buffer is a great service, but I like the simplicity of KUKU.io and the engagement of the people working at KUKU.io
