Considered Both Products
Cool Tabs
Chose Cool Tabs
Although both of them are great at their own levels, I like Cools Tabs more because it is very easy to use and very simple. I use it all the time to check up on the standard of my work and it has never let me down. Also their support team is very cooperative.

Chose Cool Tabs
MailChimp had more features with email, but we already had an email service provider. It helped us lower the cost greatly. With companies that don't have an ESP, maybe MailChimp would work out, but if there already is one, I don't think there is a need. Also, conversation …
Chose Cool Tabs
We have gone to Cool-Tabs after testing the Hootsuite monitoring. We were not entirely satisfied with the amount and type of information we obtained. With Cool-Tabs we trawled better on Twitter and Instagram hashtags and we can easily identify influencers.

Chose Cool Tabs
We selected Cool Tabs because of the flexible interface and the settings options that it offers for social media promotions, but most importantly we have realised that its strength is also the fantastic support service.
Chose Cool Tabs
It allows you to purchase the application for a single use, and you do not need to pay per month. It is ideal if you do promotions during different months.
Chose Cool Tabs
Cool Tabs offers better customer service.

Some friends recommended Cool Tabs to me, so I have not tried other similar products.

If your business is huge on Instagram and you have a big following and post daily, You will get detailed insight into the traffic. I don't think that Cool Tabs is perfect, but it automatically will give you feedback on KPI for your social media pages. If you want deeper details, you may have to upgrade.

It's a great platform that can easily schedule posts, and create evergreen posting by creating queues with different categories of posts. SmarterQueue allows you to create a range of content categories (tips, updates, quotes, images, videos, promotions, stories, case studies, etc) and choose where to post the various categories of content so you don't blast all your channels with the same content (have content specific channels). The interface is very clean, easy to use, and simple to navigate through, and has an AI assistant to help you create content and content variations. What I like the most creating an evergreen queue to which I can simply keep adding new content to and the posting is taken of.

SmarterQueue is more comprehensive, has more features for cheaper subscriptions, and more flexible price plans to suit your business needs, whether you want to scale down or scale up.

Better UI design and layout, clean, simple, intuitive to use and navigate through, and does the job well.
