Overall Satisfaction with Heropost

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Heropost to schedule all of my social media marketing efforts. It allows me to post to all of my major social media networks and schedule posts months ahead. In the past, I have tried the old method of posting individually to each network (REALLY time consuming) and have used other post schedulers, and Heropost is by far the easiest and best for my money.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Scheduling of posts
Easy setup and integration
Connects to many social media outlets seamlessly

Cons

Two social media outlets that DID work but no longer connect are Google Business and X (formerly Twitter). These need to be added back in. CRUCIAL!
Update Lifetime Access software option instead of abandoning it. Purchasers helped get Heropost off the ground...
I don't have any other issues with the software.

Return on Investment

Major positive impact from time savings alone. The ease of creating content, scheduling, posting, and seeing results/metrics in one spot is terrific.
Purchased lifetime access so the cost was very reasonable. PLUS - we don't pay a monthly subscription.
The ease of setup was a major factor in our decision to go with Heropost

Usability

Heropost is ALMOST perfect! Content creation, scheduling, posting and analytics are all right there! The ONLY drawback that I have found is that two of our main social media networks are not currently able to connect to Heropost, due to some API changes. I REALLY hope that these can get worked out. If they do, this rating goes to 10!

Alternatives Considered

Hootsuite

Hootsuite was "okay". But when I came across the Heropost offer of lifetime access - to essentially the same toolbox that Hootsuite offered, with a one time purchase (instead of the monthly fees - that kept increasing with Hootsuite) I jumped at the chance. And I haven't regretted it at all.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great for managing multiple poster's social media accounts. I currently have four clients whose social media campaigns I manage. Heropost allows me to set up groups for each client so that I can schedule posts (of all different types of media) for their specific social media mixes. This is a terrific feature and makes my job a LOT easier.
