Later vs Planoly: Which Social Media Scheduling Tool Should I Use? Social Media Tools Series Part One!

Having a scheduling tool is a must when it comes to social media management! It not only can these tools save time, but they are also perfect to help you maintain consistency and batch your content in advance.

There are so many tools out there for social media management. This is both a blessing and a curse because we love the options, but how are we supposed to narrow it which is the best for us? Let's compare overall cost, platform compatibility, features, sets allowed (how many accounts), and customer service!

Later Vs Planoly

How do I choose which social media scheduler is right for me?

Start by writing a list containing your budget, platforms, amount of accounts, and three "must-have" features. From there, compare it to this list!

The largest difference between the two schedulers is the platforms they are compatible with. If you have services offered to social media management clients or in your own business that goes beyond Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest, you would need to add on another scheduler, go with Later, or find another option.

The next factors we'd look at are (1) cost and (2) social sets allowed. Return to your list to compare how many accounts you're running and what your overall budget is for this. Keep in mind that when it comes to online tools, the cheapest isn't always the best because you might be losing out on important features that could take more time and money in the long run, AND that this cost should be an included expense in your social media management package pricing.

If you are still stuck between the two, consider trying their free trials to compare - Later & Planoly.
