My team and I will batch create massive amount of video and written content. We then load up all the videos into the media storage area of post. Then we also upload all of our pre-created captions into the caption storage area on hero post. Once this is done. We then set about scheduling each individual piece of content to go out to all of the platforms that we have integrated into HP and we schedule them months in advance. We also use the small simple analytics tool to monitor failed posts and successful posts.

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
  • Two social media outlets that DID work but no longer connect are Google Business and X (formerly Twitter). These need to be added back in. CRUCIAL!
  • Update Lifetime Access software option instead of abandoning it. Purchasers helped get Heropost off the ground...
  • I don't have any other issues with the software.

  • 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.

Usability
Heropost is ALMOST perfect! Content creation, scheduling, posting and analytics are all right there! The ONLY drawback that I have found is that two of our main social media networks are not currently able to connect to Heropost, due to some API changes. I REALLY hope that these can get worked out. If they do, this rating goes to 10!

Alternatives Considered
Hootsuite was "okay". But when I came across the Heropost offer of lifetime access - to essentially the same toolbox that Hootsuite offered, with a one time purchase (instead of the monthly fees - that kept increasing with Hootsuite) I jumped at the chance. And I haven't regretted it at all.

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.

Return on Investment
  • Major positive impact from time savings alone. The ease of creating content, scheduling, posting, and seeing results/metrics in one spot is terrific.
  • Purchased lifetime access so the cost was very reasonable. PLUS - we don't pay a monthly subscription.
  • The ease of setup was a major factor in our decision to go with Heropost

  • 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
