Pros

“Instagram allows a user to be completely free in how they choose to use the app, such as username changes, editing existing posts and reels, and uploading content.”

Maria P.

Accessories Designer

“Features such as Reels, Stories, product tagging, and direct messaging make it easier to reach new customers and build relationships with existing ones.”

Gary A.

FOunder CEO

“I also appreciate recent quality-of-life updates, like being able to reorder photos in a carousel post after it has already been published without losing engagement metrics.”

Ysaura M.

psychologist

Pros

“It makes planning and scheduling content straightforward and visual, however some features like analytics and multi-account management can feel a bit limited...”

Hannah M.

Marketing Coordinator

“Our QA specialist used to leave comments as edits for our team.”

Maddison L.

Senior Project Manager

“I had to start using a different service since Later only allows planning for social media posting in a fairly simple way.”

Lauren B.

Lead Content Creator

Cons

“Instagram's algorithms can make it hard for followers and users to see conent unless they get post notifications.”

Dana P.

CVOM

“The platform comes with bugs and specially for a business, 1 day of downtime can be devastating, which unfortunately happens.”

Parsa G.

Sr AI Analyst

“At the same time, it can be a bit frustrating with how inconsistent the algorithm is and how much it pushes constant content creation.”

Michael Z.

Owner

Cons

“Content creation is easy but sometimes the pictures on Instagram turn out blurry when posting.”

Kelly M.

Content Creator Podcaster

“The icons and buttons can be very small and it's not very intuitive if you want to post multiple pieces of media in a single post (such as an Instagram carousel).”

Hanna O.

Multimedia Manager

“Not that their expansion to other platforms is a bad thing, it's just that we used it strictly for IG and other platforms for posting elsewhere, so now we were left with a duplication of services.”

Michelle I.

CEO / Founder
