PLANOLY
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 …
Sendible
Chose Sendible
While lacking in some features compared to those big alternatives, Sendible doesn't stop releasing new features every few months and doesn't cost nearly as much monthly as they do for the amount of profiles they allow to manage. Overall I'd say it's a solid competitor if they …
Chose Sendible
Vendasta is HORRIBLE!!! I still get OneUp email and I am very impressed by there consistent improvements which I bring to Sendible's attention. However OneUp is not white labeled.
Chose Sendible
Sendible offers outstanding value for money with majority of the features offered by more expensive platforms at a much lower cost.

We were using a combination of Hootsuite and Sendible. Sendible remains our primary social media scheduling tool and we were using the free …
Chose Sendible
Sendible integrates with almost every social media platform and upon request they can even add a channel for you that is not currently integrated, an offer you can not get elsewhere. If your business is focused on selling more, increasing website traffic or expanding the …

Chose Sendible
Sendible totally knocks the rest of the competition out of the water. I have literally tried every single other scheduling app that out there and this platform is the best to view and keep scheduled posts up with ease. You can read and respond to messages right from the home …
Chose Sendible
I don't think the other listed platforms are "bad" per se. I really wanted/needed a more robust platform that was easy to use and implement and I felt the others fell short in terms of what I needed it for. For instance, I think that Buffer has a great company, and a great …
Chose Sendible
We have used Hootsuite since 2013, but their pricing is high and we can't afford that since we are a small team. Then we tried Buffer, but Buffer is limiting the number of social media platforms that you can manage. Buffer doesn't have a lot of functions and their analytics …
Chose Sendible
Sendible is much more updated, both in aesthetics and function, than Hootsuite is. When I open our content manager, I don't want to immediately feel stressed by the amount of things on the screen. Sendible's UI is wonderfully clean and easy to learn/follow. I feel much more in …
Chose Sendible
Sendible is a step beyond tools such as Buffer and Hootsuite Pro. Sendible is a slightly more professional platform than these, adding features that agencies will benefit from.

Compared to similar products such as Sprout Social, the pricing made a lot more sense with Sendible …
Chose Sendible
We used a combination of Hootsuite and Sendible. Sendible allowed us to fill holes that Hootsuite could not provide coverage for at the time.
Chose Sendible
I've used full marketing automation platforms, which contain this functionality and much more. I've used HootSuite. Sendible is cheap and doesn't work very well. Give it a trial. If it works for you, great! But consider what your social media goals are. Saving yourself time on …
Chose Sendible
You get what you pay for, Vocus is crazy expensive and most smaller businesses do not need this type of reporting.
Chose Sendible
Sendible is in a different world. Hootsuit was terribly poor. It was a bad thought and i came right back to sendible.

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

I have a fairly straightforward use case for Sendible and it meets almost all of my needs. If you are a small company that needs a collaborative solution to social media content creation, and likely has a small team (or no team) to manage social media postings, I think Sendible is likely a great tool to schedule posts and largely automate social media marketing. A larger company or more involved marketing team could still use Sendible to schedule and collaborate on posts. However, there may be additional features they may want or need (like the ability to promote posts) that may not be available with Sendible.

  • AI Caption generator
  • Auto post feature
Read full review
  • Content Calendar. It is easy to filter channels to get an overall look at what content is to post for any given channel.
  • Customer Support. They are quick to respond/alert when something is down or if you need assistance with anything regarding their product.
  • Organization. It is very easy to find what you are looking for. If there was a post that didn't go up, there is a place to find it and report it. If there was a task assigned to me, I know exactly where to go to complete it.

Cons
  • overall not very many points I would add for improvement
Read full review
  • I would love to see more services available to add as I'm constantly adding new customers.
  • It would be great and very useful if they had a clickable calendar to view which dates are already booked with posts for a quick reference while scheduling new posts.

If I am given a larger budget to work with then I'd like a program that tracks and collects my PR hits, as well as sends me important info to respond to. I realy like the way New Brand Analytics tracks my Trip Advisor,etc ratings

Usability
PLANOLY is super easy to use. We just need to connect our Instagram account and start working in just a few clicks
Read full review
The reporting can be a little clunky, and the uploading of files while straight forward is a little clunky too as far as just a simple drag/drop. However, the rest of the platform works great. The RSS feed feature is fantastic to curate content, and the calendar is easy to use to get the scheduling process started. Overall this platform is straightforward, easy to use and a great alternative to the wallet theives of the industry

Support Rating
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.

Sendible has a great resource center which I have used multiple times throughout my year using the platform. There are plenty of troubleshooting articles and guides that make it easy to uncover the root of any small issues I may have.

  • However I was hoping to capture more people who want to use the tool as DIY which has not happened.
  • I do not want to let it go but it is currently more of an expense then bringing in a return.
