FoPost or Planly?
Pick Planly if you post to the mainstream networks, like a minimal interface and are happy to pay yearly for the lowest price. Pick FoPost if you want to start free, need networks beyond the mainstream ten, or want an inbox, approvals and listening without climbing tiers.
Planly keeps scheduling simple and handles auto-publishing well for the networks it supports. The ceiling is platform coverage and tiers that cap accounts and users.
