    Publer
    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
    For essentially the same features, Publer is exponentially less expensive than Hootsuite.

    Chose Publer
    Very well. It comes very close to what Hootsuite does but at a fraction of the price. Its pretty interesting tat Publer has not blown up yet. even some of the other ones outside of its circle its still good to use Publer over others. so give it a try

    Chose Publer
    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, …

    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 …

    Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, I chose Publer and am very happy with my choice thus far.

    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.
    Incentivized
    Chose Publer
    By far the best for smaller agencies looking to get big efficiency at a small cost.

    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.
    Incentivized
    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
    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 …

    They were difficult to use and it was cumbersome and I felt like it was not very intuitive.

    Chose Publer
    Better pricing, has all the platforms I need, and packing offer is better suited to my needs.

    Chose Publer
    I chose Publer because it seemed to play really well with LinkedIn and that was the only channel I was planning to use it for.

    The main reason I use Publer and not anything else is the Recycling Feature. That is a brilliant feature and lets me keep my posting queue full without …

    Chose Publer
    Publer is easy to use, and my clients can have free access if they wish. The Publer community is fantastic, and the owners of the company are so client focused, it shows within the service they provide. I'm pleased I've chosen Pulber, as it makes my business look very …

    Publer is better in general, and pricing was better. User friendly so any brand new to social media management can jump right in and do more with less learning curve. Sure there is things to learn and figure out body most it is very intuitive and just simple designed. One of …

    To be honest, I chose Publer because it has a much more accessible pricing structure. AND I loved some of the additional features (like spintax) I couldn't get anywhere else. The others priced BY platform, or I just didn't like how little automation was actually apparent in …
