Considered Both Products
SocialPilot
Chose SocialPilot
I've always been one to price compare first, and SocialPilot has always come out on top with more integrated platforms at the best price! I haven't done my research in the last 2 years because I'm very content with SocialPilot. Still, I do think/hope they will start integrating …
Chose SocialPilot
They are hard to beat on price and offer everything start-ups and enterprises need to enhance the efficiency of online marketing efforts and strategies. It is a smart choice for any business and you will save on time and money.
Zoho Social
Chose Zoho Social
Honestly the primary benefit to Zoho Social is that It is a far cheaper alternative to Hootsuite, though it seems to do many of the same things!
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social is more reliable than Buffer. Buffer sometimes has technical issues where posts don't go out after being scheduled.

Hootsuite has gotten way too expensive.
Chose Zoho Social
Cheaper and simpler to use and understand
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social is a much easier and integrated tool that accomplishes my tasks at a way faster rate. If you are busy like me but still enjoy running your own marketing this is the platform you are looking for. It Is a real treasure for small businesses and owner operated marketing.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social is cheaper and gives more flexibility than Hootsuite in my opinion. Hootsuite is bigger and sleeker in design, but I appreciate the functionality that Zoho Social offers.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social is reliable, affordable, and has everything I need for managing multiple channels and consistent posting.
Chose Zoho Social
This is the first product I have tried based on reviews of a range of similar products.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social is far easier to use and much better priced.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social's payment structure is much more affordable than Hootsuite. As a nonprofit, we were paying $37.50 a month, and then Hootsuite increased the monthly payment amount, doubling it to $75 a month. As a small, self-funded nonprofit, we could not continue using Hootsuite …
Chose Zoho Social
Kontentino is nothing compared to Zoho Social. It's good for their approval flow of your posts but that's like it. They only show the posts and analytics of the posts you published through their platform and not many to no competitors analytics. Hootsuite is good but …
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social can do nearly everything Hootsuite can for a fraction of the cost. For small businesses like ours, it is a no-brainer to go with Zoho Social which clearly understands the needs of mom and pop businesses like ours!
Chose Zoho Social
Loomly is so far the best out of all the platform options. However, Zoho is a strong contender. Loomly has more features. Pricing also comes into play.
Chose Zoho Social
I have had to reconnect many of them or just have them bog down and freeze. The only one that doesn't give me problems in Meta, but it only posts to the two platforms. I love that Zoho Social lets me post to so many platforms at one time.
Chose Zoho Social
Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit (discontinued)
Chose Zoho Social
I would say it is right on par with hubspot regariding social media and, in my opinion, analytics. However, the only aspect and caveat that gets me is the analytics compared to hootsuite. If Zoho Social can get the analytics to be as close as possible to hootsuite I would use …

n a crowded landscape of scheduling software options, this particular solution stands out as a beacon of simplicity and user-friendliness. What truly sets it apart is its ability to strike a delicate balance between ease of use and content flexibility. Unlike some other platforms that may impose restrictions on content size and compromise quality during scheduling, this software manages to preserve the integrity of the content while offering an intuitive interface.

Pros
  • Bulk Uploading - this is the #1 reason I'm still with Socialpilot! Having a CSV file upload makes it much easier!
  • Images are automatically included - with many bulk uploads you'd have to upload your own images rather than it being pulled directly from the link. This is a game-changer!
  • Platforms - many are included!
  • Price - some are simply too expensive nowadays but SocialPilot is still one of the best competitors when it comes to price.

  • Zoho Social helps us develop posts, and it facilitates the automated publishing, which is vital in sharing the content we want.
  • Besides, Zoho Social is fruitful in customer engagement plan, where the software manages different accounts, and there is free communications throughout.
  • Finally, there is social media evaluation, monitoring, and analytics, and all of them brings to us an inference that is accurate and digital.

  • The Calendar view displaying published posts would be a great feature. You can view published posts displayed in a list, but when scheduling and arranging posts based on a calendar, seeing upcoming posts as well as past posts can be very helpful.

I am enjoying using Zoho Social and I look forward to really unwrapping what it has to offer. I need to be able to essentially offload all my social media posting and work so that I can do the actual work of sewing clothes, which is what my business actually does. This way, I can spend a few weeks making different types of content while also sewing clothes and post the content in a way that builds a story for my business and is entertaining.

Usability
It is powerful yet so easy to use. The social media analytics provided by this platform are easy to understand. The client's social accounts are managed easily through the client management feature without the need of waiting for the client to make you the admin to manage their page.

I think it provides good value for money, a streamlined, intuitive, user friendly platform, with lots of features I'm still discovering. The social media publishing is easy and effective to use. We would love to see the monitoring feature included in the basic package but for the price you can't ask much more, really

I've always been one to price compare first, and SocialPilot has always come out on top with more integrated platforms at the best price! I haven't done my research in the last 2 years because I'm very content with SocialPilot. Still, I do think/hope they will start integrating more helpful tools on the platform with new AI integrations and the AI pilot they already have.

Zoho Social is more practical. It has the features we need. We just want to share content on our social media accounts and view the post-share stats. The integration process is easy, the sharing process is easy, and these are the key features we need at the moment. Also, we can manage our team and responsibilities by Zoho Social's permission system quite efficiently.

  • Zoho Social allows me to "see" my messaging planning weeks into the future. I can create themes for a week or month and easily see how it performs.
  • Having all my social accounts in one place saves me time.
  • It is too early for any ROI from Zoho but the amount of content I am putting out has increased by at least 400%.
