Considered Both Products
Later Social
Chose Later Social
In my opinion, Later Social covers way more platforms than Salsa. I would much rather use Later Social. My org wanted me to use Salsa so it's all in the same place, but it is not as user friendly to me, and doesn't cover as many platforms as Later Social.
Chose Later Social
Later is hands-down the best platform I have used for planning and scheduling content.
Chose Later Social
I went with Later for the lower cost subscription. The Hootsuite copy features is missed, but Later has hashtag suggestions which is nice. I really need something to post across multiple platforms. I also needed the ability to schedule more than the 5 free scheduled posts …
Chose Later Social
It's superior. Simply put. Later has better features and stronger functionalities, many of which none of these other tools have. When I used any of the previous tools there was always something missing so I had no choice but to work with two or three tools at the same time. …
Chose Later Social
As a social media manager I find that Buffer, Hootsuite and Sproutsocial are superior to all features available on Later.
Chose Later Social
Hootsuite works well but I appreciate the ability to add Stories directly from Later which helps us be more engaging and productive with our posting.
Chose Later Social
Hootsuite is still working with push notifications, (an extra annoying step) that Later has eliminated! Hootesuite places to many limits on user profiles which means the need for multiple accounts Later has eliminated these roadblocks in productivity.
Chose Later Social
I’ve used a lot of different scheduling apps over the last 4 years but what I like most about Later is that it is one of Instagram's recognized partners, resulting in being allowed to access certain features. For example, Later and a few others are the only ones that are …
Chose Later Social
Sprout Social is a great tool, however, the price for a smaller company like ours was prohibitive. Later doesn't have LinkedIn support the way Sprout Social does, however Later does have unique product offerings for Instagram that ultimately set them apart for our team. We've …
Chose Later Social
I considered Hootsuite, but I don't think they have a free plan.
Chose Later Social
We evaluated multiple social media scheduling programs and ultimately selected a service apart from Later, but with the addition of their new tools, we are looking to potentially go back. Later was always one of our frontrunners, and with its new improvements, we will likely be …
Chose Later Social
Later is very affordable and kind of a hidden gem. While Sprout Social provides analytics that Later doesn't have, that's not a feature we were looking for. Multiple users do not cost extra money and the number of posts you get based on your plan is more than enough even if you …
Chose Later Social
Later is great specifically for Instagram. If you're looking for something to manage all of your social channels in, Later is not the tool for you.
Chose Later Social
I've also used Planoly, which is what I switched from. Later by far is easier to use and manage and view. I like all the upgrade options and I like the blog posts to help navigate using the interface and also using Instagram. If I saw more results on Instagram I'd be all in, …
TINT
Chose TINT
I chose Tint because of the ability to customize and better brand for social media wall engagement. And for promised customer support, which ultimately Tint lacks. I'm a nice guy and I also believe in holding companies accountable to the high standards that are promised.

User Testimonials
Later SocialTINT
Likelihood to Recommend
Later is great for not only small and large businesses, but also for influencers who want a curated feed that they can easily auto-publish. If you need to tag your Instagram photos on a consistent basis, that might be a struggle, but in general, for the minimal cost and features, Later is well worth the cost. Additionally, their technical support takes 24-28 hours to respond to via chat, but it's within the software so it's very simple.

[Tint should] Improve response times in between initial quotes and questions to same-day support as promised. Overall, for our limited needs for a social media at hosted conference, it suited our needs, but would not have paid extra for customer support - you will be on your own for this one. Customer support was factored into cost, which is why it is difficult to recommend TINT.

Pros
  • Allows you to schedule Instagram Stories Content. No other tool that I have tried allows this feature.
  • Great analytics available for Instagram - something that lacks on many other platforms.
  • The LinkIn.Bio feature allows you to drive traffic to multiple sources, which is helpful for accounts without a swipe-up link.
  • It's easy to switch between accounts if you are managing multiple brands and platforms.

  • The social media wall became an instant hit at our conference.
  • The social media wall customization was excellent in terms of branding and customizations.

Cons
  • Would be wonderful if there was a way to copy posts easily.
  • Would be nice to view posts without opening like you plan to edit them. Just want to preview them like an email.
  • Would be nice to be able to schedule posts to Facebook Groups.

  • Customer service: it took 10 business days to get initial questions answered from our sales contact, Matt. After we purchased the mid-grade package that came with prioritized email responses, it took 4 hours to respond to an emergency issue. We were never informed that our LinkedIn accounts would not be compatible with the Tint platform, which is significant is this is one of your main sources for content generation. After being able to jump on to a call with Alex and Customer Success in the middle of a crazy busy conference, we were promised a follow-up call to see what could be done about billing. 2 emails later and no response. I just received responses to some tickets 30+ days after event ended. Do not pay for the mid-grade package. Your emails will not be prioritized. Be sure to double check that all social media platforms you intend to use are functioning with platform before purchasing.
  • The auto scroll feature is a bit abrupt in transitions and would advise smoother visual when sliding between social media posts.
  • Better improvement on duplicate posts and pictures - many still made it through filter and generated repetitive content.

Usability
The desktop site is almost perfect, I love it. I love that I can drag and drop, I love that I can easily and quickly switch to analytics and switching profiles... love the ease of link in bio. so great!

Later are not just a software tool, they also provide marketing advice, tips, and tutorials via their blog. I’ve only had to reach out to them for help a few times and have found them to respond much faster than other tools in their category. I receive weekly emails with updates, marketing tips and invites to online events. I look forward to their emails as I’ve learned a lot of things that I’ve been able to actually implement.

When I used any of the previous tools there was always something missing so I had no choice but to work with two or three tools at the same time. Later replaced all of those tools and now I can manage everything from one single tool.

Return on Investment
  • Later has at least made me accountable for my content calendar. It helps me schedule posts in advance and allows me to see what my page will look like so I can visually plan out content.
  • Later has helped me post a few times with the auto-post feature. It's been great for my static images, but I just wish I could do it for everything!
