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 …
Publer
Chose Publer
I dont know how the tool was called I used before , but the problem with that tool was, that I had to be online with my computer to post my scheduled postings. With Publer everything will be posted automatically
Chose Publer
The price and the feature are what drove me to Publer. It was cheaper for the features and social accounts I needed. However, Publer is still on the expensive side. I overall will still recommend Publer to be able to start your own social media marketing business. Definitely …
Chose Publer
Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, I chose Publer and am very happy with my choice thus far.
Chose Publer
Easier to use. Free account with limited but relevant functionality for those just starting out or if you want to try Publer first. One of the best value for money social media content management sites I could find.
Chose Publer
At the time of purchasing, Publer was the most cost effective compared to other options considered, and provided the combination of features I needed at the time.

Because of the simplicity of interface, and customer service I have not needed to look elsewhere at all.
Chose Publer
Hands-down, way better fill in the gaps that we were experiencing with our previous software, so far been very pleased
Chose Publer
We were using Hootsuite and while it was adequate, it was also cumbersome and expensive, relative to Publer, which thank-god we found. Not only does Publer download videos for you from many social media
Chose Publer
Great for Instagram, but not as versatile for other platforms. Publer gives us a more consistent experience across all channels.
Chose Publer
It was the only tool where I could have hundreds of accounts without costing an arm and a leg THAT HAS AN APPROVAL PROCESS BUILT IN.
Chose Publer
The other tools I have tried are either cheaper because they are lacking features, or the interface and user experience is complicated and clunky - or, they are priced to only be affordable by much larger organizations. I don't think Publer is cheap, but for the cost, they are …
Chose Publer
It's more affordable than Buffer and has a dark mode and media library. I don't have to upload my images one by one.
Chose Publer
Priced more competitively, easier to set-up and easier to use.
Chose Publer
Similar, but this seems to have the edge on price for small accounts
Chose Publer
I haven't use any other platforms yet. I have looked into Sprout social and Buffer I think it is called. But I am price sensitive and it seems like Publer is the best "bang for the buck" so to speak and as a new entrepreneur that is awesome for me!
Chose Publer
Not quite as powerful but easier to use and much more cost effective. Plus the Publer customer service is awesome. The prescheduling system makes batch processing my work much more convenient, and you can "reuse" a prior post then just alter some text or swap out an image to …
Chose Publer
I like Publer because it posts PDF documents and other social media networks do not post PDF document so that's why I like Publer and I recommended because when you want to post a PDF document a lot of social media scheduler is just will not let you post PDFs and that's why I …
Chose Publer
Cloud Campaign worked well for the most part, but some workflows were difficult to understand. It was also too expensive for my purposes. Publer does everything that I used Cloud Campaign for and does it better and for a lower price. I would highly recommend it to Cloud …

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.

Publer works really well when you just need to plan and schedule social media posts across a few different platforms. It’s especially handy for small teams or solo marketers who want to keep things organized without dealing with overly complicated tools. I’ve found it great for queuing up Facebook posts, Instagram reels, and even LinkedIn content all in one place, and the interface is pretty easy to get the hang of.

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.

  • It would be good to see better integration of the Instagram platform, when it comes to using trending audio, getting template inspiration etc, but this may be limited by the available API.
  • Hashtag analysis and suggestion is pretty limited, and this is a feature in the higher paid accounts.

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!

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 regretted it at all.

This is my answer: We tested Hootsuite, Buffer, and Postcron before choosing Publer. Hootsuite offered the features we needed, but its pay-per-seat pricing quickly became too costly for our small, in-house team. Buffer provided a good experience and reliable network coverage, but it felt “just okay." Postcron was the budget-friendly option, but its outdated UI and limited features, especially for bulk uploads and LinkedIn document posts, slowed down our workflow. Publer combines the best parts of all three: a clean, easy-to-use interface, unlimited scheduling on every platform we need, built-in AI captioning, and responsive support, all at a flat rate suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. That balance of features and affordability made Publer the clear choice.

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
  • Countless hours saved, not only in the initial scheduling, but also in the repurposing/reusing/autoscheduling
  • Peace of mind knowing I can more easily stay consistent with my posting
  • More hours saved on the analytics, which are FAR easier to view trends than in the native platforms
