Overall Satisfaction

  • Recurring tweets.
  • Scheduling tweets.
  • Posting to multiple accounts.
  • Editing tweets.
  • Finding scheduled tweets.
  • Recurring tweets every hour instead of every day.
  • Increased employee efficiency.
  • Increased brand awareness.
  • Increased brand exposure.
The pro version is cheap. It is relatively easy to use. The recurring tweets are very helpful and not many other services offer that. It is worth paying the monthly price for this feature alone.
Are you looking for basic social media management? Do you have several social media accounts that you manage? Are you looking to save time while managing your social media? Gremln helps to make managing social media easier and more efficient. The pro version has great value and I would recommend it for someone on a tight social media marketing budget.
