User Testimonials
	CoSchedule Marketing Suite	TidyCal
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	Maybe if you are needing a large enterprise solution you may need something else but we have found that it fits all of needs as a 32 people team. It has worked flawlessly since we installed it. I keep focusing on this but it is a 30 min set up and that’s it. JB Floyd Top rated SEO Agency and Lead Generation Expert President 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	The ability to create multiple booking types and personalize them The integration of Zoom and payment types The ability to create scheduling polls for group meetings Incentivized Celeste Ribbins, MA, CDP Founder & Principal 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	There is a learning curve it takes some time for new user to understand the process. UI can be made attractive. Integration with other video conference tools like Amazon's chime Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	Usability is ridiculously easy. JB Floyd Top rated SEO Agency and Lead Generation Expert President 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.

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	I can use the free plan, which includes unlimited monthly meetings and appointments. However, I can only link one calendar. The free plan calendar supports Google Calendar and Office 365 calendar integration. The software has been tried and tested by numerous employees from different backgrounds in our organizations. The interface was a hit with the majority of them, and they found it to be incredibly useful. Incentivized Samira Islam Resmi Assistant Professor Read full review
