    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
    Publer is a great choice for in-house teams managing multiple sister brands because it combines all networks—Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, Google Business Profiles, YouTube, and Pinterest—into a single drag-and-drop calendar, removing the hassle of separate dashboards and spreadsheets. The platform’s AI-generated captions, evergreen “recycle” rules, and simple approval process keep our content running smoothly and on brand, while built-in analytics offer enough insight to optimise timing and formats without needing enterprise-level features. We haven’t faced any major restrictions; when an API change caused a hiccup, Publer’s support team fixed it within a day. Agencies that require in-depth white-label reporting or detailed short-form video metrics might need additional tools, but for a small or medium-sized enterprise seeking seamless scheduling, quick optimisation, and responsive support, Publer hits the mark.

    Pros
    Planable
    • Plan posts on multiple platforms at once
    • Approval workflow
    Read full review
    Publer
    • Autoscheduling - I press one button, and content goes out to predetermined schedules across the various platforms
    • Spintax - putting content on autorepeat with auto-generated unique captions!
    • I work with a couple VAs, and I can have them create the content, and I'm automatically notified to approve their work before anything goes out.
    • Easy access to past content for quick reusing and repurposing
    • Feedback - I love that I can always suggest new features, and they're always working on improving!

    Cons
    Planable
    • Add hashtags in the tool so you can save them for future use
    Read full review
    Publer
    • 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.

    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.

    The UI for Publer has a great look and feel and it is very easy to use. When I first started using Publer I was very happy that it all seemed intuitive and the adding of social channels and setting up profiles works very smoothly as well. Overall very easy to use.

    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.

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

    Publer actually uses ChatGPT as a friend, it's not a similar product. You can use ChatGPT inside Publer to increase the quality of the posts and the texts that you can use in the posts, and also the comments in the post, and also other things in the posts. It's great.
