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   Loomly is by far my favorite out of all the platforms I've tried because it is the easiest to use and does not feel outdated.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

    Chose Loomly
    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 …

    I think for someone looking for a lower-cost social media management took, Loomly is the best I've found. It's pretty easy to use, and has a lot of tools that outshine the downsides of the platform. If you're looking for a pretty standard, easy to use, and aesthetically clean platform, I'd recommend Loomly. For more analytic tools, it's perhaps not for you.

    Planoly is perfect for managing social media accounts for business or public figures. It would work great for personal use as well but maybe wouldn't be as necessary. For business purposes, it changes the game! Having something that is easy to teach colleagues to use is one of the most important features I looked for when choosing a social media management platform

    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.

    I found Loomly, while more simple, to be the most worth the price. 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!

    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, Product pages, SEO meta titles, descriptions, email newsletters, Blog posts etc. However, PLANOLY is only limited to Instagram and Pinterest.
