Highly recommend, best valued tool on the market.
Overall I have tried a half dozen alternatives to find the right one. when it came to price vs functionality and overall user experience this ticked my boxes. It's very clean and user friendly, I had some questions more than issues to start with and I was very impressed by the rapid and professional support from the chat team. Price plan customisation was great, a feature I'd not seen really on any other options unless you were looking to really get into the high corporate use areas.
PROSIt ticks all the boxes for a clean UI, with every feature I need and a very customisable pricing plan.
CONSI think there are some features, and I love that they are taking and allowing users to vote on those suggestions but they are all additional at this stage like TikTok integration. Nice to have but not deal breakers for the majority.
Reason for choosing Publer
Each of the alternatives had it's pros and cons. SocialQ was a one time purchase but had an unwieldy UI especially in calendar view. OneUp was a close contender but had a higher cost to features ratio. Buffer was far too expensive for my needs and didn't offer anything more than the others for a dramatically higher price while later looked excellent but didn't support LinkedIn which is my primary use for this type of tool.
Reasons for switching to Publer
Very simply Hoosuite increased prices and reduced the functionality of free account sot not be worth my time.

Room to grow
We purchased a lifetime deal not really expecting much from the software. We have started integrating Publer into our workflow as the developers work to improve the software. I think anyone looking for this type of software should put Publer on their shortlist.
PROSI think Publer's user interface is the most intuitive of the software in its space. It was easy to learn and navigation is swift.
CONSPubler's analytics and reporting is currently very basic. It lacks many of the deeper features offered by competitors in their space. We know this is an area they are working on and are looking forward to seeing where they go with it.
Reasons for switching to Publer
Publer offered a lifetime deal which was the genesis of our change. The thought of having Hootsuite type features with no monthly fee seemed like a no-brainer for our company.

Best All-Inclusive Social Media Management Software that Smoothly and Flawlessly Works!
Must Buy! After trying a dozen only choice available that works.
PROSEverything just works. I've tried a dozen of apps that did not do what they promised they do. Publer is smooth! Publer is snappy, fast UI. All the features are well-thought and vital. All the major platforms exist. And they all are well-integrated.
CONSI'm fine with everything they've got but, a "tweetdeck" of every social media platforms could be my dream on such an app.
Reason for choosing Publer
Most features available. Not ridiculously expensive for a bootstrapped founder. Sincere and reachable staff, including the founder Ervin Kalemi.
Reasons for switching to Publer
Not happy, missing features, extremely expensive.

Easy, affordable social media scheduling with many benefits
I'm a science blogger and science communicator in my spare time, so I'm essentially using this as a hobbyist, but the performance and support I get is at a very professional level. It's a real time saver for me and well worth the money.
PROSPubler is affordable but has all the functionality that I could possibly expect from a scheduling platform. The user experience is consistent across a whole host of channels.The web app is fast, and everything is straightforward. The support team (which I very rarely need) is responsive and efficient, while the developers have further improved the platform over the year since I joined. Definitely a recommendation from me.
CONSNothing negative at all. I hope that Publer will eventually support Bluesky, but I understand that they will monitor Bluesky's uptake a bit longer.

Publer is Awesome
I love being able to schedule post a month in advance. It gives me time to commit to other things that can be more important, but we all know social media is very important as well.
CONSThe cost. Only because I would prefer not to pay at all!! But I have added on to my free Publer account because of the ease of the add-ons.

Publer is the all in one social scheduling tool you need to know about
Publer makes my work flow as a social media manager so much easier. I can prepare work in advance and even set to auto pilot in some cases.
PROSI was an early adopter of Publer through App Sumo. As a social media manger, a lot of my work involves scheduling posts for clients on different platforms. Currently, Publer lets me publish on all the major platforms from Meta to TikTok and even Google My Business. I can cross post, schedule ahead of time or set automated repeating posts. I get link in bio and analytics all in one one app. On my account, I can onboard up to 30 seperate accounts which is good for my budget. Publer does everything it's rivals do and it keeps on adding new features. Most importantly, the app is very user friendly and I have a bank of images and posts in my calendar that I can reuse. I also have access to Canva and Vista Create included in the package.
CONSNo mobile app at present although I am aware there is a provate beta and a public beta should be available soon.
Reasons for switching to Publer
Buffer is great but I was on a tight budget and I needed an app that could provide the same features for less.

Fantastic Software
Overall, I LOVE Publer!
PROSWe're an agency with over 70 clients and use Publer mainly for scheduling out Google My Business and Twitter posts. What I love most about Publer is its incredible simplicity. When a new person joined our team, I just gave her the login info and said, "I don't really need to train you on how to use this. It's 100% intuitive." And it is. The clean, simple design really appeals to me, along with how incredibly easy it is to edit posts you've already scheduled (literally just clicking on the text, no "edit" button necessary--same with the scheduling date). We considered anywhere from 20-30 other scheduling tools before we chose Publer, and I'm confident we made the right decision.
CONS1. I really wish there were a "home" button at the top navigation. There aren't that many different pages on the platform, but if you happen to find yourself on a page like the "suggestions" or a couple others, there's no navigation at the top to get back to the main "Create" page. You have to click your browser's back button. 2. I'm eagerly waiting for Publer to become more integrated with Google My Business so that we can make "Offer" and "Event" posts as well as the basic "What's New." With as many GMB posts as we do for our clients, this feature would make my life SO much easier! 3. This is currently being worked on, but I wish Publer supported Instagram. We had to go back to Hootsuite for one of our clients to schedule on Instagram (via Facebook). 4. A link shortening feature for Twitter would be nice.
Reason for choosing Publer
User-friendliness, price, Google My Business integration
Vendor Response
Hello Jane and thank you for the review and the kind words. A couple of tips: 1. You can click the Publer logo on the top left corner and it will take you to the home page. Also, all secondary pages (i.e. when viewing a social account's settings) have a "Go Back" button. I will send a few screenshots via chat / Facebook. 2. We're currently working on GMB offers, events and products. 3. Instagram posts are now supported (direct posting). Stories will follow next :) 4. You can automatically shorten links using either Bitly or Rebrandly, but let's continue this in private as well.

A good but lesser known social media management tool
Overall its a nice software plus saves some money when compared to Buffer(which I was previously using) apart from that it's a comparatively new tool so I'm hoping they will keep improving with time.
PROSThough most tools like this come with the ability to schedule social media posts, I especially loved the fact that I could easily integrate it with Canva and pull images from there. Also, their analytics feature is a super nice addon as well, it gives you all key stats about the performance of top posts.
CONSThough it gets the job done but there surely are some required fixes, for example, the calendar view in their web app isn't very good and sometimes can be a bit of hassle. Also, you can't really do minor edits of images on Publer, for that you need to go back to your design tool to do so.
Reasons for switching to Publer
For me, there was 2 reason to switch, first that their integration with Instagram was a bit buggy and caused issues like images getting posted twice or not even once. The second was their pricing for additional team members, they were pretty high for small to medium size businesses.

Manage all of your social media in 1 place
Mostly great experience. I have chosen to accept the new costs for using Twitter. And yes, I would still recommend Publer to most people.
PROSI love that I can connect all of my social media accounts and schedule a ton of posts all at once. I went from having to post daily on social media, to just doing this 1 days a week by scheduling the entire weeks posts at the same time.
CONSThey recently started to charge for Twitter due to Twitter adding cost for Publer. I get the need for this, but I for one am a little peeved because I purchased back when they had the lifetime deal on AppSumo. That lifetime account included Twitter. I think it is unfair that they are not honoring that and are now charging even lifetime mebers like me for Twitter. I believe in honoring the deals you make.
Reasons for switching to Publer
Hootsuite is pretty good, but the lifetime offer on Publer made it a better value.

The last social media manager you'll ever need.
Extremely enjoyable so far. The UI is great, and the app seems speedy and reacts quickly.
PROSPubler is not only one of the best-looking social media management platforms out there, it's also one of the most feature-rich. Very very few of the others have what Publer offers, and Publer does it better, IMO.
CONSThe pricing structure makes sense, but can be intimidating. I have to worry about whether adding another social media account is worth the additional charge. On the plus side, every 10th account is free.
Reason for choosing Publer
Chose for the ability to do a lot with minimal effort, and for the ease of the ability to plan things out.
Reasons for switching to Publer
Feedhive UI doesn't make as much sense to me, seems to have stalled out on some of the features.

Best Social Media Schedular
I have been talking to everyone and anyone about Publer who will listen. It is hands down the best social media publishing tool - and I have tried many over the years. The UI is great, the support listen to the community on how to improve, and implement changes fast, they are continuously rolling out new functions I didn't even realise I needed until I tried, and allows me to manage not just multiple social media account, but multiple brands and bulk import, which is a huge time saver.
PROSAfter many years of Hoostsuit and Buffer, Publer seemed to come out of nowhere - and took the crown with is combination of ease of use, wide variety of tools, and pricing. The team are continuously developing Publer and listening to its users - ie, we recently requested Crello incorporation - and although the use of the API would cost them, they implemented this function at no extra cost.
CONSThe logo :) Aside from the...unique..choice of branding, I can not fault the platform. Great functions, great price and super support.
Reasons for switching to Publer
Although Buffer is great, Publer offered more bang for my buck. And the pace of development was mind blowing.

The best scheduling software in the market
The experience was Awesome, The Growth was exponential when I started using Publer and the blog page also helps to understand the do and don't in digital marketing. especially when coming to the team's tab and managing the team feature is a mind-blowing feature. Worth being an Aurum Plan memeber.
PROSPubler is one of the unsung app in the industry, I have been using multiple scheduling software with a limited feature for a long time but when comes to public Managing social media became easy for me. The most amazing feature is scheduling based on time, and adding a watermark to your post, and Hashtag suggestions. The analytics dashboard which Publer provides is just lit, The power of this app is great.
CONSThe price for Aurum Plan is a bit high, but I can't complain the feature the app provides is good, but when I look at their pipeline of upcoming development the price Justify. Also, need a Mobile app to manage things easily, currently, publer doesn't have an online application. Also, Zapier integration with Instagram was tedious initially while setting up, user would prefer easy setup. The current youtube upload limit of 1 GB sized file I see as a limitation.
Reasons for switching to Publer
The reason to switch was fewer features, when I was using Hootsuite was in a premature stage, but now it has improved, and tempting to use the platform, but still, Publer provides 10x more than the platform provides.

Ethical, affordable, great features - absolutely can't recommend enough!
I manage several social media accounts for my small business and this helps to synchronise those efforts, as well as giving a great overview via the content calendar. They've continued to develop their features, reward existing and new customers with fair and transparent pricing, and give great customer service.
PROSVery affordable pricing structure which rewards customer loyalty, clear breakdown of features, great integrations, and helpful staff team! Oh, and the mobile app is great for capturing ideas for social media posts on-the-fly and refining them later!
CONSIt would be nice to be able to manage paid social advertising from within the app, but I'm aware that it's extremely good value for money already and would expect to pay a premium for the addition of that service.
Reason for choosing Publer
At first because it was the most cost-effective for a freelancer, and this is still a major factor, but the way they reward loyalty while continuing to develop new features has kept me with them over the years.
Reasons for switching to Publer
I needed more accounts and features and the upgrade cost was shockingly high and unrealistic for a freelancer.

The best free social media scheduler
I've been using the free plan for years after switching from Hootsuite. As a very small business who only posts on Facebook and Instagram a few times a week it has everything I need and was easy to use right from the start. I'm now considering upgrading to use some of the more advanced features. I've looked at other platforms but keep coming back to Publer as it seems to offer the most features for the best price
CONSI'm not keen on the app. It all works ok, but find it a bit of a faff to view my undated draft posts which is always the first thing I want to look at.

Publer - Streamlining our Social Media Management
The modern UI that is fast and responsive. Having come from another established product that looked old and was frustrating to work with. Publer is power but easy to use, it's made working with our Social Media accounts a pleasure rather than a chore.
CONSThe one thing we find missing is a mobile app to make posting on the go a bit easier than having to use mobile web.

It´s a gamechanger for me!
As a social media manager, I've tried my fair share of social media management tools over the years, but none have come close to the ease of use and versatility of Publer. It's an absolute game-changer when it comes to managing multiple social media channels across various platforms.
PROSOne of the things I love about Publer is the ability to schedule posts in advance for multiple social media channels all in one place. This feature saves me so much time, and I can rest assured that my content will be posted on time, every time. Additionally, Publer's platform support is fantastic; I can manage all of my social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram, all from one dashboard.But Publer isn't just a time-saver; it's also a game-changer when it comes to analytics and reporting. I love how easy it is to track the performance of my social media channels and campaigns with Publer's intuitive analytics dashboard. The tool also provides helpful insights and suggestions on how to improve my content and engagement rates.Overall, I can confidently say that Publer is the best social media management software I've ever used. Its intuitive platform, powerful features, and outstanding customer support make it a must-have tool for any social media marketer looking to take their social media strategy to the next level.
CONSOne thing that would make Publer even better would be if it were available in German. As a native German speaker, I would love to be able to use this fantastic tool in my own language. While I can certainly navigate the English-language version, having a German-language option would make the process even smoother and more efficient.

Reasons for switching to Publer
Much cheaper than any competitor.
Vendor Response
Hi Roger and thank you for the review. Videos may take longer to publish as they're bigger in size than photos. We may also do some pre-processing if the selected video is not compatible with the social network, such as converting them from MOV to MP4. For YouTube, we will automatically make landscape videos vertical in order for YouTube to accept them as Shorts. Hope this helps, Ervin
