Overall Satisfaction with Publer

bulk scheduling of social media posts

Pros

  • Ability to bulk schedule a lot of posts - it's the reason why I chose Publer instead of Buffer for now. I had thousands of ready posts. The CSV upload works just right - you can upload up to 500 posts in one files which saves a ton of time.
  • Great customer support - quick to reply and help with issues.

Cons

  • Poor media file storage - very few columns, no ability to sort, and export data of media library - which would be super useful when you need hundreds of links to download pictures before uploading them via CSV and bulk scheduling. I needed to find a way around this issue and upload everything to Wordpress and then use plugin to export file names and links. Not great that it is not available on Publer. Makes media library useless to me as it's not feasible to work this way - I'd need to manually copy-paste all links, which obviously is not ideal.
  • The VAT pricing info should be more visible.
  • The "Explore tab" is wannabe Taplio copy although you can only see posts from Instagram and X, and nothing else + they are very few posts and they are not even matching keywords at all. I was looking forward to LinkedIn, but there is nothing from that platform, opposite to competitors like Taplio.
  • Calendar view has no yearly view option or an option to view more compact window.
  • Saves a lot of time
Saves a lot of time for bulk schedule, but that's that. You don't have any other useful option in Professional packet, and those that are present are lackluster
