Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
Hootsuite has gotten soooooo expensive in relation to the functionality it provides. The value is just not there compared to when prices were lower for SMBs.

In contrast, CoSchedule Marketing Suite provides huge value for the price and the tiered pricing based on users, number …
Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
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 …
Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
CoSchedule offers a lot more than some of its competitors, but you have to evaluate what your organization needs and doesn't need. For some organizations, they only need a content planner for social media, and CoSchedule might not be the best fit due to price compared to some …
Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
CoSchedule provides collaborative planning of projects. The calendar view is very well designed. Meetings and tasks can be scheduled and tracked easily. Whatever is being done, no matter how big the task/project is, it gives a bird-eye view of everything. Additionally, it also …
Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
After trying other social media scheduling tools, CoSchedule is my favorite. Like I said previously, it fills the gaps I've found in other tools. I feel more organized with CoSchedule and prefer their mobile app as well.
Chose CoSchedule Marketing Suite
CoSchedule better supports the content creation and redistribution of content activities. The best thing was that you can get it all automated here, while other tools do not provide with support. I would say CoSchedule is one of the best tools for managing both content and …

Crescendo has some very powerful features such as a built in editor that provides a simpler editing suite than Wordpress, especially valuable for contributors. The fact that it has multiple levels of contributor/author/editor is a real plus. There is also a comments box that …

Chose PromoRepublic
I don't think there is a huge difference between the both, PromoRepublic and NapoleanCat. PromoRepublic takes that edge by having more social media networks, where NapoleanCat has only a few social media networks.
Chose PromoRepublic
Radaars basic functionality does the same thing but it’s more robust than PromoRepublic because it has such features as ability to manage chats across several platforms. Further, Radaar offers the ability to post directly to Tik Tok which PromoRepublic does not do. And given …
Chose PromoRepublic
We primarily use Promo Republic for clients who have smaller budgets as the cost for PromoRepublic is less than some of the competing platforms.

PromoRepublic does make it easier to track separate locations/pages that may fall under one company. This can be great for an …
Chose PromoRepublic
I enjoy PromoRepublic and would probably choose it over any of the other scheduling tools I've tried, because of the quick support, ease of use, and other benefits I've spoken about in this review. It definitely makes working with freelancers easier, as creating notes for them, …
Chose PromoRepublic
PromoRepublic is more built for agencies and was also more affordable than Hootsuite and Buffer. Price was a factor in my search, but usability was just as important. PromoRepublic created ease by separating each of my clients' accounts. Can save posts so I could reuse at …
Chose PromoRepublic
Ultimately I selected PR because I was able to get it for a one-time cost rather than a subscription, but now that I'm used to it I couldn't imagine life without it. I've only used the free versions of the other platforms, so my experience with PR is obviously superior. …
Chose PromoRepublic
The post ideas and creator definitely make PromoRepublic more of a one-stop shop. I can create, post, and study analytics all in one spot.
Chose PromoRepublic
Hootsuite is what my office primarily uses and it's good. I just prefer the way you can see all the posts in the calendar dashboard on PromoRepublic and I like that it has fresh curated content for me to peruse.

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.

PromoRepublic is excellent for collaboration, such as working with freelancers, or clients who want to leave notes and be responsible for final approval. It's also good for brands who need ideas about what to post on a daily basis, as their idea library is quite extensive. The image creation tool is also good for beginners, with plenty of templates, though it isn't as extensive as Canva. It's definitely a solid option for social media management. Can't think of a situation where it wouldn't be appropriate.

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

  • Generates post ideas and curated content. If I'm out of ideas on content for the week/month I can usually peruse their prepared content to generate ideas.
  • Timed posting based on our current engagement rates. Helps me to decide the ideal times to post to ensure the greatest amount of engagement.
  • Easy post editor. Has a plethora of images and fonts I can use to make an eye-catching copy for our social media.

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.

  • I'd like to be able to drag and drop posts to different dates and times from the calendar view.
  • I'd like to be able to duplicate an entire post from the calendar view and drag it to another date and time.

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.

The user interface is very straight forward and easy to use. They also make it incredibly simple edit premade post ideas as well as create your own. You can connect all of the basic social media platforms which makes it great for individuals looking to streamline their scheduling process to get more content out

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.

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.
