Hootsuite vs Planable: Which is a better fit?

Rick K.: Hi, I'm Rick, the owner of a small business. We're under 10 people, and I give Hootsuite a five out of five. Previously, we were just using Twitter, and that just didn't give us the depth of scheduling and the ability to crosspost to multiple platforms. Hootsuite allowed us to do all the crossposting we wanted, and with our small business, we didn't even need to pay for Hootsuite. I think we got three separate accounts for free, like three seats to post to three different social media platforms for free, and we didn't need more than that so price was a factor. Getting started with Hootsuite was really simple. It was really just a matter of still having to create the content for social media. Hootsuite made it so we could just post it into Hootsuite, then schedule it, and it was ready to post. I mean, as soon as that date and time came around, Hootsuite auto posted it for us, which was great. I would say just jump in with Hootsuite. It has been the best software that we've used to help us with our social media in terms of posting and scheduling so that we didn't have to take time every single day and remember to post. We just scheduled a week, sometimes even a month in advance.

Fraser N.: Hi, I'm Fraser. I'm the founder of a marketing agency. I'm going to give Planable five. And for more reviews like this, please click below. I looked at a number of other software products before deciding on Planable, especially Hootsuite. But I found out that their increasing restrictions on that software meant that it didn't really do the job I needed it for, whereas Planable was much more flexible and enabled me to carry out the whole range of social tasks in one app. I chose Planable because it was really easy to set up and schedule all the posts across the different social networks in one go, and also had a good integration with Instagram, which made it nice and easy to actually post and then just confirm on the app, which made it a breeze to use. It was easy getting started with Planable. It was all very intuitive, and it all made sense. I mean, with every software, there's a small learning curve, but certainly, Planable was one of the easier ones to get moving with when it comes to social posting and scheduling software. If you're considering using Planable, I'd say go for it. It's a really good piece of software. As I said, it's simple to get started with, the onboarding is easy, and crucially, it's something that's updated regularly. It's been around for a while, so it's got that longevity. So you know that the founders are not going to stop supporting in a few months' time, which is something I find really annoying. So yeah, you've got that future-proofing which has been apparent in Planable for some time. So yeah, definitely go for it and give it a shot. It's a nice, easy tool to use.
