Considered Both Products
LiftMetrix (discontinued)
Chose LiftMetrix (discontinued)
This was the first program that I used so do not have anything to compare it to. It does work better than scheduling within Facebook now Meta. I am not looking into other options because I would like to be able to post to more social accounts at a lower cost.
Chose LiftMetrix (discontinued)
I have been using Hootsuite Impact for about a year for basic social media posting and suggested top post dates and times. The ability to merge the past posts with current data with little effort, plus the easy to use navigation with Hootsuite Impact was the tipping point. I …
Chose LiftMetrix (discontinued)
Because Hootsuite has a strong publishing/listening tool that connects to analytics, it was the best for us. Tracx has incredible analytics, but their publishing tools were not as strong. Sprout social was good as well, but their single inbox/stream was not ideal for managing …
Chose LiftMetrix (discontinued)
Hootsuite Impact is far easy to use, both in setup and in pulling reports, than Adobe Social was for us. The visualizations make data far easier to read, and being able to quickly filter through mentions has helped us to be more nimble when pulling reports.
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 …

I like that I can really dig in to the advanced filers to generate the custom reports that apply to my industry and the accounts I have linked to Hootsuite. I have more experience with some networks and not as much experience with others, so the suggestions I am able to review and implement have been enormously helpful. I have a marketing staff of 4, so having Impact do the legwork helps us focus on the creative aspect of our marketing plan.

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
  • Free version used to offer a lot more performance.
  • Insights now only available for paid versions.
  • Would be nice to see shares.
  • Hashtag suggestions or insight would be helpful.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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
