They appreciate that they can manage all of their visual content in one place and that graphics and ideas are automatically published to these platforms.

Difficult Instagram Stories Scheduling: Some users have found it challenging to schedule Instagram stories within Later due to the small space and inability to see image or video names. This has led to confusion and mixing up of similar images, causing inconvenience for those trying to plan their content effectively.

Limited Features for Free Accounts: Several reviewers have expressed frustration with the limited features available for free accounts on Later. They feel that functionalities such as video posts, multi-image posts, and analytics are only accessible to paid users, which hinders their ability to fully utilize the platform without a subscription.

Nonetheless, they highly recommend giving Later a try, especially due to its generous free plan with no expiration dates.

Later is a social media scheduling tool that I use to arrange and schedule social media content such as videos, graphics, and stories to platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. This tool has helped to save me time on posting on our social media business accounts and stay consistently visible. It’s a tool that I use on the go on mobile and tablet via its app and through its website. It also provides some useful data insights on the engagement of your content and the best times to post. Later is an essential tool to help run my business presence online smoothly.
  • Schedules to platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest.
  • It auto publishes graphics, and ideas to Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
  • It currently doesn’t post videos to a Pinterest via the mobile app, only via the desktop version.
  • Provides scheduling for Instagram stories but only via push notifications so you’ll have to use your mobile to actually post to Instagram stories.
If you are a start-up business and juggling a lot of things in your business you can use Later to ensure your content is going out at a certain time even whilst your busy. You can batch upload videos and graphics and it stores them on via your account to schedule to schedule at another time. If you’re more focused on posting to Instagram and Facebook stories multiple times a day then Later may frustrate you as you’ll have to post it yourself following the push notification sent to your mobile.
  • Later saves me around 10-15 hours per month by being able to bulk upload and schedule across all social platforms.
  • Provides me with flexibility with using the mobile app resulting in being able to delete, edit, and instantly post content needed when urgently needed.
I’ve used a lot of different scheduling apps over the last 4 years but what I like most about Later is that it is one of Instagram's recognized partners, resulting in being allowed to access certain features. For example, Later and a few others are the only ones that are authorized to allow their users to auto-post videos to Instagram.
Later are not just a software tool, they also provide marketing advice, tips, and tutorials via their blog. I’ve only had to reach out to them for help a few times and have found them to respond much faster than other tools in their category. I receive weekly emails with updates, marketing tips and invites to online events. I look forward to their emails as I’ve learned a lot of things that I’ve been able to actually implement.
  • Uploading bulk content via desktop is super easy.
  • Scheduling using the visual calendar helps you see when your post goes out is very useful.
  • Only annoyance for me is not being able to see my reports via the mobile app.
Yes
The mobile via is what I primarily use as I’m constantly on the move. It almost does everything the desktop version does apart from being able to upload and schedule video content to my Pinterest account and view my Instagram business reports and analytics. I like being able to select pictures from my picture library on my mobile and instantly upload it to my Later account and that it’s permanently saved to my Later account for me to create a post from via desktop.
Later is so simple and straightforward to use whether that’s via desktop or mobile.

Later allows me to schedule social media posts easily across multiple platforms. I can upload photos to the media library, and schedule posts on my mobile, tablet, or PC to Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. I am the sole employee at my company and the sole user.
  • Easily post/schedule across multiple platforms
  • Easy to schedule and upload media
  • Free for up to 30 posts
  • Limit to how many posts we can schedule in a month
  • I wish images were auto resized when uploading to Later
  • More features for free
Later is great for everyone! The free plan is great for those posting 1x a day or less. The paid versions are affordable and offer users multiple posts a day.
  • Social media presence is constant.
  • I can schedule posts once every 3 months and don't have to worry about it again.
Customer service is very helpful, and they have blog posts keeping us up to date on trends and what is popular, including when new features are added and how to use them.

Later is being used to schedule Instagram posts on a weekly basis. It helps with management of visual content and planning out the social channel's visual content.
  • Later is great at Instagram marketing thought leadership. I love their newsletters they send out on Instagram marketing tips and new features to take advantage of.
  • I love the ability to manage my visual content in once place in later. I can connect to Drive or Dropbox to bulk upload my images and categorize them with tags.
  • I also love the ability to store captions so that I can have a repository of captions and just connect them to an image.
  • It's really easy to tag others in my posts.
  • I wish I could edit the look and feel of my pictures within Later a little easier. There are standard filters, but for brand sake, I need everything to be consistent.
  • I wish there was a direct integration with things like Canva and Lightroom to make uploading and editing my images seamless.
  • The biggest thing I wish Later did was allowing a better threshold for the free accounts. All of the helpful and useful features are for paid only (video posts, multi-image posts, analytics, etc). I can't justify the cost for just a few posts a month. I end up doing all of the video and multi-image posts manually, which lately has me questioning the benefit of Later's free version as a small business.
If you're going to pay for the tool, I think it's a great investment. It's got analytics to help you track the performance of posts, how your following changes, when is the best time to post, etc. As a free tool, however, I don't think it is that beneficial. If you're just looking to post static images a few times a month with no need for analytics, it's great. However, businesses with a semi-decent marketing plan for Instagram will need something more than that. Decide if the cost is worth it for you!
  • Later has at least made me accountable for my content calendar. It helps me schedule posts in advance and allows me to see what my page will look like so I can visually plan out content.
  • Later has helped me post a few times with the auto-post feature. It's been great for my static images, but I just wish I could do it for everything!
Later is extremely easy to use. I love the visual planner portion of the tool so I can see ahead of time what my images will look like next to and stacked amongst each other! The posts are so easy to set up, tag, and schedule. UX and UI are great!
I haven't had to use any support for Later, so I can't speak directly to it. However, I can say that their newsletters and blog content are extremely helpful. I stay subscribed to them (which I rarely do for any company) because they are so on top of when IG releases (or is going to release) new features AND provides instructions/advice on how to capitalize on these new features as a business.
Later is great specifically for Instagram. If you're looking for something to manage all of your social channels in, Later is not the tool for you.
