User Testimonials
	CoSchedule Marketing Suite	PLANOLY
Likelihood to Recommend	CoSchedule does more than just content planning, it helps you organize your content, betters your content with headline analyzers, and allows you to organize your work and marketing calendars as well. If your organization is in a spot where you need a well-rounded tool to help with content, marketing, or even task organization, CoSchedule might be the right fit. Incentivized Ben Caplan Risk Manager, and Insurance Agent Read full review	The visual grid feature is my favourite feature of PLANOLY as it allows me to see how my content will look before I post it. I haven`t found this feature with other social media planners Incentivized Namrata Agarwal Managing Director Read full review
Pros	Best time to post is great at updating to when we get the most engagement by platform Requeue tool to slate out additional posts for a given piece of content is a huge time saver Aggregate analytics tool shows us a peek across our posts on a given platform that's actually easier to read than the platform itself Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Grid view AI Caption generator Auto post feature Incentivized Namrata Agarwal Managing Director Read full review
Cons	The import Google Doc to WordPress functionality never worked successfully or reliably for me. So I just manually copy and paste Google Docs to the WordPress editor instead. The social sharing counter was not that helpful, because it only counted Facebook and Google+. Who uses Google+ anymore? Plus, now they don't even show the social counter in the monthly calendar view. so you can't see the numbers without doing some extra digging. In the monthly calendar view, some titles get cut off if they don't wrap cleanly in the day's box. So I would make it look cleaner instead of having words broken up by a hyphen. Incentivized Brandon Weaver Head of Content Read full review	overall not very many points I would add for improvement Incentivized MT Maria Trujillo Publicist Read full review
Usability	The interface is very intuitive, from setting up social profiles, to posting, to tags, to optimizing for best day/time to post. It's super easy to scan the aggregate analytics. The calendar is very easy to grok at a glance, and the more advanced functionality is intuitive to set up. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	PLANOLY is super easy to use. We just need to connect our Instagram account and start working in just a few clicks Incentivized Namrata Agarwal Managing Director Read full review
Support Rating	I didn't have to use their official support, but I can say that they put out a lot of content online to help users. Their YouTube page has quite an array of tutorial videos explaining how things work and how to get the most out of their tools. If you're struggling, before picking up a phone or blasting off an email, try searching for your problem on YouTube or their forums. Incentivized Ben Caplan Risk Manager, and Insurance Agent Read full review	The support team was instantly responsive and were always happy to answer even the simplest software question. I knew that my clients would be in good hands should I not be available for any scheduling question through the support team. Everything was always impeccably handled in a timely manner! 100% satisfaction. Incentivized MT Maria Trujillo Publicist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	CoSchedule is definitely a more powerful marketing tool than Loomly or Buffer, which are more dedicated to straight social media scheduling. I preview the calendar overview offered by CoSchedule, which makes it easy to see everything at a glance. PromoRepublic is similar but has the added Canva-type integration, which makes it more appealing to our clients who want to be able to easily put together their own images. CoSchedule is a bit pricy, which can be prohibitive for clients who don't pay in dollars. Incentivized Kèlene Poyurs Co-Founder Read full review	Planoly was the most cost effective option for me and my clients and allowed us to use a grid view to see how our content would show up on the feed. Grid view was very important when choosing the software for us. It was also allowed us to schedule stories as well and some other softwares did not.

Return on Investment	Operationally, it is easier and faster to train new staff and get them comfortable in their roles and with their projects. We are producing more content, faster. We are more aware of what everyone else in the department is working on. Incentivized Nate Casimiro Marketing Operations Manager Read full review	It allowed us to engage with potential customers for clients in an easy way Our follower count went up by a steady 100 followers per week Our numbers for viewers on videos and IG Lives doubled Incentivized MT Maria Trujillo Publicist Read full review
