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Loomly is by far my favorite out of all the platforms I've tried because it is the easiest to use and does not feel outdated.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

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 PLANOLY
I have tried an AI tool called Vocable and used Google Sheets to plan my content. PLANOLY is better because of the visual grid feature. However, vocable is better in terms of the variety of content. With Vocable, we can create text content for Instagram, YouTube, and Linkedin, …
Chose PLANOLY
Planoly was the most cost effective option for me and my clients and allowed us to use a grid view to see how our content would show up on the feed. Grid view was very important when choosing the software for us. It was also allowed us to schedule stories as well and some other …

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

The visual grid feature is my favourite feature of PLANOLY as it allows me to see how my content will look before I post it. I haven`t found this feature with other social media planners

Usability
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.

The support team was instantly responsive and were always happy to answer even the simplest software question. I knew that my clients would be in good hands should I not be available for any scheduling question through the support team. Everything was always impeccably handled in a timely manner! 100% satisfaction.

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!
