It needs the ability to save hashtags. Some of the other tools offer this, so I emailed Planable and asked them to consider adding it.

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.

  • I love the CALENDAR view, I think it looks really clean
  • I like how it changes the aspect ratios of the photos between social platforms for me
  • I love how I can simply log in with Google, that is a small detail but it helps
  • I love how I can "preview" to make sure I got everything right
  • I love lamp...

Cons
  • Add hashtags in the tool so you can save them for future use
Read full review
  • 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
It does what you need, but could have a bit more features for the price. $30 a month just to post things on Facebook or Instagram is a bit steep, given that that's all you can do.

Support Rating
Emailed them a month ago to add hashtags, but they didn't add the functionality yet. Given that the product has stayed exactly the same since, I'm guessing the developers don't want to add this feature so I give the support a rating of 1.

Alternatives Considered
Cheaper, however, Kontentino does have the ability to save hashtags.

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 Postcron was the budget-friendly option, but its outdated UI and limited features, especially for bulk uploads and LinkedIn document posts, slowed down our workflow.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
  • Ability to post on any social media platform with 1 click. It adjusts the layout for you, pictures, adding action buttons, etc.
Read full review
  • 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
