Publer vs. Rival IQ

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.

It is great for competitive analysis if that's an ongoing need, and the upside of how it calculates engagement rate is that it's consistent across competitors (even if I think the methodology is flawed). We really only used the competitive data up front, and then sparingly afterward. If you want true impressions/engagement rate for Twitter, Instagram, and in some cases Facebook, then this is not as good.

• 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...

• Rival IQ shows engagement data perfectly. You can see the engagements of your brands and any competitors your tracking.
• The overall comparisons for the competitors is a great way to benchmark if you're using engagement data as measurements.

• 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.

• Include new metrics not only based on engagement.
• New metrics for Instagram ads.

I love the tool, is simple and useful

its very useful tool and I am giving this rating because this website made my sales increase in the last week and also in the last month and lets see if my sales will be great at Christmas, because i am using this tool to sell everything.

This is a really easy package to use and understand, once you've walked thru the interface. Onboarding is a must.

The pages do load very quick but in the the iPad form

Every time I have contacted Publer, I get answers right away

Support is continuous and very helpful. Email, phone, and chat support are always on and someone is always there to help. Your CSR will contact you quarterly to take your temperature and offer assistance or training, if necessary. Feature requests are taken seriously. They share their product development roadmap, which is a major plus.

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.

These products are similar, but don't provide the same friendly interface or analytical view of the social space. Both of the platforms above (Olapic + Track Maven) are great for social media users, influencers, and trend-data, but if you're looking at improving your own brands' performance, Rival IQ is the best bet.

I think this is well designed product. I really enjoy that I am able to learn it quick, integrate all the socials very easily

• 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

• We are able to sell this package as a value add to our clients.
