Combin also allows users to identify and engage their targeted audience to improve visibility across the platform

Inside the dashboard that they provide, you can track accounts that don’t follow back, find influencers to facilitated marketing operations, and managing different accounts, all in one place

Pros

• Price: the pricing plans are great and cheap

I tried many other platforms and for the quality that they provide, they charge the absolute minimum

Plus, they even offer you a growth starter pack completely for free as well as the scheduler plan: you won’t have to pay a dollar.

• easy to use: the features are very easy to set up and use and you don’t need to waste hours learning how to utilize the platform

The layout of the dashboard is simple and clean, perfect also for beginners who never used a tool like this

Cons

• Actually, there’s nothing that I dislike

The only thing is that Combin is perfect for small and medium-sized businesses or small agencies, but as soon as you become bigger you should look for a more advanced platform like Iconosquare

Conclusion

So, as you can see, Combin is very useful if you have a small account and you don’t manage many different social media account

If you want just to start, this is the perfect platform, and they even provide you a free plan with basic features that you can use

Cons:

• Sometimes the mobile app has some bugs, I think because it’s relatively new and they need more time to fix everything

So, if you have some bugs, simply close the app and reopen it and it should be ok

If the bug remains, contact customer support and they’ll solve your problem very quickly

Conclusion

With over 10 million customers all over the world, a strong partnership with Instagram, and clients like H&M and IKEA, it’s probably the most advanced and professional platform that you can find out there, not only to schedule your posts but also to study your analytics, engage with your audience and much more

Here a short video that explains the main functionalities of SocialPilot

If you’re searching for a platform that supports Facebook (profiles, pages, and ads), Instagram (business and personal), LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Google My Business, Google Analytics, Blogger, and RSS feeds, Eclincher is the right choice

It offers a very complete social media management, from the post scheduling, up to the content management and curation and the live social feed

Pros

• Easy integration: their platform is very simple to integrate with your social media profiles and, in a few minutes you’re ready to go

• Workflow management: eClicher provides you a lot of additional tools and functionalities to drastically improve your workflow

You have a direct connection with free stock photos services to improve your content creation

Using Google analytics and bit.ly you can always keep track of statistics and measure your performance

Within the inbox, you can manage all your clients’ accounts from one single place (including comments, messages, reviews, and much more)

The Feeds and influences tap help you to better understand your niche and what’s being said

• Reports: the last thing that I like about eClincher is the fact that I can easily produce white-label reports showing statistics and illustrated graphs

They are automatically produced in a matter of seconds, against the hours that I would have to spend to create them manually

This is very helpful, especially if you have to manage your team or your clients and you need detailed reports with charts

Cons

• When you post stories and carousel to Instagram you receive a push notification that it’s a little annoying, but it’s something that happens with almost every platform so I’m assuming that’s a technical limitation

Conclusion

I tried their platform for one year straight on 2 of my social media accounts and the results were really great

The features that they provide helped me so much saving time and money, by scheduling my post, understanding what people are saying in the market, spying on my competitors, reply to all my messages inside the dashboard, managing my team, and analyzing my insights very in-depth

So, this platform could be the perfect choice if you have to manage your social presence across many different social networks

Here a short video of how eClincher works

This is a little bit different from the other software because it's not specifically an Instagram scheduling software, but it mainly focuses on growing your audience

However, Ingramer provides also a very good posting feature, and the beauty of this platform is that you can pay only for the features that you want

So, if you’re not interested in utilizing the software to attract and engage with your audience, you can simply select and purchase the scheduler option

Pros

• They have real client reviews that have got awesome results by using their Instagram growth platform

This is something very important that I always look at before using or suggesting anything

• FAQs and help page: something that I appreciate is the fact that they have spent time including FAQs on their page to help people better understand the service and solve the most common questions

• Wide range of features: another thing that I like about Ingramer is that they provide to their users a lot of features, so people don’t have to subscribe to much different software, but you have all that you need inside one single platform

Cons

• They use the Instagram automation strategy that isn’t encouraged by Instagram, but it’s not a big deal

They won’t block or ban your account and you’ll get away with it 100% of the times

(That doesn’t involve you if you’re using only the scheduler feature, so you won’t have a problem at all)

Conclusion

So, this tool could be really helpful if you are interested also in growing your audience, interact with your followers automatically and increase your sales

And obviously, schedule your posts, preview them before publishing, and much more
