Chose Heropost
Hootsuite was "okay". But when I came across the Heropost offer of lifetime access - to essentially the same toolbox that Hootsuite offered, with a one time purchase (instead of the monthly fees - that kept increasing with Hootsuite) I jumped at the chance. And I haven't …
Chose Heropost
These other apps like hootsuite and metricool are way to over priced and are glitchy to say the least. HeroPost seems to me to be the most solid and reliable work horse in the game. I use it daily and my team use it daily and it never lags or breaks.

I would have to say that …
Loomly
Chose Loomly
Loomly is by far my favorite out of all the platforms I've tried because it is the easiest to use and does not feel outdated.

Prior to switching to Loomly, I was using Planoly - great tool but for smaller businesses and creators. It's not great for managing a large number of …
Chose Loomly
Loomly is the best that I have tried. It's user friendly and it's cost effective. I LOVE it! Other content management software are more pricey and have been more difficult to work with user interfaces. Loomly is great at scheduling and looking at a calendar view for content …
Chose Loomly
I found Loomly, while more simple, to be the most worth the price. Especially because I specifically can view analytics on client accounts directly, there's no need for me to have it within my platform. However, I know this is crucial for a lot of people. If they're looking …
Chose Loomly
This software is easy to use and you can add all team members and clients.
You can select the social media for each client and schedule and plan content from there. It is also easy to engage with the audience like reply to messages and comments. With the two types of preview …

My team and I will batch create massive amount of video and written content. We then load up all the videos into the media storage area of post. Then we also upload all of our pre-created captions into the caption storage area on hero post. Once this is done. We then set about scheduling each individual piece of content to go out to all of the platforms that we have integrated into HP and we schedule them months in advance. We also use the small simple analytics tool to monitor failed posts and successful posts.

Loomly is the best. Truly I love it. It has been super helpful to send quick videos to remote co-workers and feel like we are sitting face to face getting work done. It's increased productivity and its great for managing my calendar and sending what I need to, when I need to

Cons
  • Two social media outlets that DID work but no longer connect are Google Business and X (formerly Twitter). These need to be added back in. CRUCIAL!
  • Update Lifetime Access software option instead of abandoning it. Purchasers helped get Heropost off the ground...
  • I don't have any other issues with the software.

Usability
Heropost is ALMOST perfect! Content creation, scheduling, posting and analytics are all right there! The ONLY drawback that I have found is that two of our main social media networks are not currently able to connect to Heropost, due to some API changes. I REALLY hope that these can get worked out. If they do, this rating goes to 10!

It's easy to use. I think that's one of the key selling points. I've used trials of other social media management platforms, and they've been more difficult to introduce to my clients, which drives a wedge. Loomly has been fairly easy to introduce my clients to, therefore optimising review timelines and ease.

Especially because I specifically can view analytics on client accounts directly, there's no need for me to have it within my platform. However, I know this is crucial for a lot of people. If they're looking for that, I'd probably say another platform might be better. But for me, Loomly is perfect!

Return on Investment
  • Major positive impact from time savings alone. The ease of creating content, scheduling, posting, and seeing results/metrics in one spot is terrific.
  • Purchased lifetime access so the cost was very reasonable. PLUS - we don't pay a monthly subscription.
  • The ease of setup was a major factor in our decision to go with Heropost
Read full review
  • Easy to use for all members
  • Can schedule all your content for many accounts in one place
  • Makes it more effective as both team members and clients have access to it
