The visual grid feature is my favourite feature of PLANOLY as it allows me to see how my content will look before I post it. I haven`t found this feature with other social media planners

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 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
  • overall not very many points I would add for improvement
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.

Support Rating
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.

Alternatives Considered
Planoly was the most cost effective option for me and my clients and allowed us to use a grid view to see how our content would show up on the feed. Grid view was very important when choosing the software for us. It was also allowed us to schedule stories as well and some other softwares did not.

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 Postcron was the budget-friendly option, but its outdated UI and limited features, especially for bulk uploads and LinkedIn document posts, slowed down our workflow.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.

  • 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
