How to choose a social media tool

  • Count your accounts, not just your users. Most tools price by the number of social profiles you connect, so add up every page and profile across every network.
  • Check the networks you actually use. Make sure the tool can publish directly to each one, including TikTok, Pinterest and Google Business Profile if you need them.
  • Look at what you get for clients. If you manage other businesses, check for client approvals, white-label reports and separate workspaces.
  • Compare the analytics. Built-in reports save hours if you report results to a boss or client every month.
  • Try the scheduler on your phone. You will often post on the go, so a usable mobile app matters.
