Pros I use this daily for the 19 accounts I manage. It's value for money! Cons The part I like least is not being able to schedule stories or reels. Not to pleased with the change in how you find content that has occurred over the last week. Reason for choosing Post Planner What you offered for the price, the fact that you answer questions quickly, and are always helpful. Switched from [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Value for money, the number of accounts I can manage and the content. Review Source AL Andrew L. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Why did I never know about this?! (TREASURE FOUND!)" March 5, 2025 5.0 Fast response - super great service - and really feel like I'm heard and valued. In a small nonprofit having PostPlanner is like having another employee! A huge thank you for answering all my questions and really working with me to make this work for us! Pros Uh, well everything! I was doing this process by hand and posting to various social media platforms and this is BAM done. So much time savings and the price can't be beat in the marketplace. I am thrilled to be using it and it has really freed up my time and allowed me to actually plan ahead! That's huge! Cons I'm new at the interface so I can only say that when I recycle posts I'd like to see them shown in my posting calendar so I don't duplicate - but I'm thinking I'm probably doing something wrong.

And the features were not everything that I had here with PostPlanner. Review Source Michelle C. Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Buyer Beware. Untrustworthy. Policy of charging three months in advance with no refund is just not good business." November 8, 2016 1.0 A company worth its salt would not have to employ a policy of charging for their service three months in advance of the renewal date with no email notice and NO possibility of a refund. Oh - but that's in their terms around the 1300 word mark so read carefully and buyer beware! This company is a great example of how unethical companies take advantage of consumers. I manage several social media accounts and purchased a membership for $60 in Feb 2016 because their advertising promised that I could generate more posts for my clients with increased engagement in a shorter amount of time. During my first trial, I was not very impressed with the quality of the posts but was not ready to totally give up. Months later I got a chance to go back to it. I really put a lot of time and effort this time into pouring through post, article, and other suggestions to find something of value that wasn't just "fluff." Many of the posts and article suggestions were too generic or not appropriate for use with business social media accounts. I could only use about one of every 15-20 posts I had to look at. When I tried to save custom searches, they ended up mostly producing ZERO suggestions with any stars (more stars indicate higher levels of predicted engagement). I have clients in several different industries, so it is quite odd that nothing popular could be found for any of my custom searches. It was all - "have a great day" puppies, and "you can do it" cats. Anything that wasn't along those lines would not ever have any stars. Now I know there is popular content for the industries I serve since I work in social media every day. I did end up posting some of these silly "fluff" posts because PostPlanner promises that your engagement will go up. Not only did I get less engagement from their posts, I got my first spam complaint on facebook :( I decided that I had burned through way too much time with this program and I had a few more months until it expired so I set a reminder to give it one more shot before I canceled. Lo and behold, in November 2016, I was charged $93.37 by PostPlanner. I was taken by surprise. "This must be a mistake," I thought. I was in no way prepared or willing to pay anything for this silly service let alone almost $100! I do a lot of commerce over the internet and am even a web hosting vendor myself. So I think, "No Problem." I figured I would just tell them I didn't intend to purchase the service renewal and request a refund. SURELY, that would not be a big deal since THERE IS NO MONEY OUT OF THEIR POCKET and since it goes through PayPal, it would literally take seconds to log in to PayPal and click the "Refund" button (as I know from personal experience with my business). But I was denied stating that their plan renews anytime within 90 days before your due date and it is NON-REFUNDABLE once it goes through. After a few emails back and forth (which were obviously boilerplate because I see the same responses on this site), the last correspondence is (and I quote): "Hi Michelle- I'm very sorry you are unhappy. Our policies are very clear in our terms. Regards, Leeann" Yes - it IS stated in their policy. This policy is accessible from a link at the bottom of their website and start at about word 1200. Some will argue that it is my fault and I did not read the 73 paragraphs consisting of over 5600 words outlining all of the terms in the middle of my work day when I was trying to increase my productivity. And they would be correct. But I am also a business owner and a very active online consumer. I believe that we should be able to have just a little tiny bit of trust when we make a purchase. When a company puts some very non-standard early billing terms in their agreement that have no reason or justification and just plain don't make sense, it seems like it is only a sorry tactic to increase their revenue. I have in the past refunded fees charged for something (that did not cost me anything) if there was a misunderstanding. Even if it was clear in my terms. This is so rigid and outside of my business experiences over the last 15 years. Personally, I go above and beyond to make sure my customers understand their billing! If I had to charge three months in advance for something, you better believe I would send an email or something. Just so I wouldn't have to deal with all of these bad reviews if for nothing else! This is just bad business and very unethical to me. I have never in my life heard of charging someone so far in advance for a virtual service and then refusing refunds! This is why I am writing this. This is so obviously an attempt to rip people off. Pros There are no pros. The quality of the service is low, my engagement did not go up, I received my first spam complaint in over 5 years of working with social media for business. Cons Product usefulness is low, the cost is high, billing policy is unnecessarily unfair at best and unethical at worst. Review Source MM Makai M. Marketing Director Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best scheduling tools" April 1, 2025 5.0 Pros Ease of use Lots of different options and tools Cons A few more optiion on the Excel upload would be good but it's a minor grumble. Switched from [Pinterest](https://www.capterra.com/p/234608/Pinterest/) I needed more control over the content, specifically pin descriptions. Review Source JG Jason G. Marketing Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "PostPlanner will make your life easier" March 20, 2025 5.0 Overall my experience was great. Easy learning curve. PostPlanner has brought me back from the brink of extinction on posting for our business. I love how it easily lets you plan and add for future posts. I also love the curated content although I am just starting to use that. Pros There are several things I like about post planner: 1. Ease of use. 2. It is feature rich. 3. Competitively priced. Cons Thusfar, I am unable to think of any cons.

Review Source NV Nick V. CEO Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I'm a recent convert..." October 4, 2023 5.0 Pros I have to tell you I came to Post Planner very skeptical. I had been with HootSuite for 4 years but apparently the owners are trying to support a Columbian Coke habit; their annual rate skyrocketed. Then I tried Canva’s built in tool. Meh, it’s serviceable but it’s not robust enough for my needs. Then I tried something Loomly but that still wasn’t right for me. And most recently I tried HelloWoofy. HelloWoofy started out strong but after paying for 30 min support call (that took 7 mins), the situation was never solved nor addressed again.Then I came to Post Planner. There is something about your avatar that said, “give this a shot.” That little greyscale image of a jubilant Josh. Then I gave the trial a shot. The concept of “Buckets” was something that makes so much sense I don’t know why no one else has simplified that like you have. The layout of the rest of the site is really good. Cons I'm going to nitpick: I'm not sold on the content calendar yet. It's really crowded. If the thumbnails were bigger or if there was an easier way to see all of my content at a glance, that would be awesome. It would also be cool if I could drag and drop a post on my calendar to another date/time. Sometimes I screw up and would like to postpone a post by just a bit. Rather than open it up to edit, just let me drag/drop Switched from [Loomly](https://www.capterra.com/p/166498/Loomly/)[Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/)[Woofy](https://www.capterra.com/p/191996/Woofy/)[Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Hootsuite too expensiveWoofy didn't follow through on their customer serviceLoomly was cumbersomeCanva was too basic Review Source Simon M. Media Head Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Our latest ride in the world of social media management" July 15, 2022 5.0 Pros It is competitively priced. We've used products in the past with comparable features but the pricing always bore down on the already slim budget. Post Planner does that and more. We are yet to use the complete level of features that it offers but all in all, from planning to scheduling across all our various platforms has been a breeze. Never has a post been missed or has required manual intervention. To us, that makes it an invaluable product that has long paid for itself. Cons Our initial offering with the Starter plan provided us with 300 posts per month. Dropping to 100 made it impossible to continue on the same plan and we ended up upgrading to the next best plan.

Women's Coach Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing Product and Customer Service" January 20, 2021 5.0 The system is easy to set up and use. There are lots of options and additional helps. The support from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is amazing! Highly recommended. Pros The ability to plan posts for specific times and purposes and set up a library of items I want to share with my followers. Post Planner has a vast library to help me with posts to keep good, relevant and encouraging content to my followers. I also love the evergreen option to allow posts to re-post at a later time. Cons Initially was disappointed because I couldn't use it with Instagram and was going to cancel the service for another, more expensive service that did not have the extensive library. Connected with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] who was already in the process of adding the Instagram option and let me know how to be able to use it as I was wanting - so no actual "least" aspect. It is a great system! Alternatives considered [Hootsuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/121701/HootSuite/) Reason for choosing Post Planner Customer support is phenomenal. System allows a lot more scheduling options. Library of resources is a great asset. I haven't found anything that I would like to do with Post Planner that I wanted to do - everything is available. Great product!! Review Source Rita Carla Francesca M. Author Publishing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great social media management service" June 23, 2022 5.0 I switched from another service because Post Planner is cheaper and allows for a higher number of recycled posts than its competitor. So far I'm having a very good experience. Posts are very easy to save and are published timely and immediately recycled. Pros What I like most is the fact it allows recycling your posts indefinitely with a much lower price than its competitors. Cons I wish the posts were counted as one when the same post is scheduled on multiple social media. I also wish I could move a scheduled post back to draft and/or replace/add another social media to it, without having to recreate it from scratch. Switched from [RecurPost](https://www.capterra.com/p/186683/RecurPost/) Post Planner is cheaper. Its least expensive plan costs half that of RecurPost with a higher number of recycled posts.

Digital Curator and Social Media Influencer Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Post Planner - Living Up To Its Name" April 24, 2022 4.0 Very happy. It has not only helped me manage multiple accounts & twitter handles easily, but has ensured that I reach over a million impressions on a single Twitter handle within a year and a half of its initiation! Pros Like the ability to create streams of posts (for industries, topics, subjects with Star ratings depending on their popularity). An ideal time saving feature to have popular posts for shares and gain interest within your channel community and grow. Cons Drag & Drop facility can be improved, specially of posts that can be changed within a day (or across days) and ability of seeing the Time change when moving the post within a day to get an approximate 'fit' for changing the Post. Reason for choosing Post Planner At a better price-point for ease and relevance of posts to be garnered for reposts as well as integration with Canva for creation of posts. Review Source MT Megan T.

It is easy to create and schedule posts, and if you use the buckets feature it becomes even easier to schedule posts and tweets to different time slots for weeks ahead. I like the analysis feature as well, and how easy it is to repeat-post my favourite and best-performing posts. Cons I don’t use the contents much, so I can't comment on this feature.

Further, this company automatically charged our credit card without consent. I requested to CANCEL the subscription and was told that my account name did not match their records (even though I had to be logged in to Post Planner to click CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION???). I am then fed a load of rubbish about my email being ONE day out and they would need to charge me for another full year, quoting some fine print buried in their Terms of Service Agreement. We are a proactive, innovative company using many SaaS providers. This would be BY FAR the worst I've ever dealt with. Customer service is APPAULING - this company is on limited days. Pros There was nothing I liked about this software. Cons This company automatically charges your credit card without consent.
