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

Pros

“Multiple Auto Scheduling maps and heat map by day and time for best posting times, although I am not convinced of the accuracy.”

Josie L.

“I like the ability to easily schedule content, along with the ability to schedule the first comment too.”

Ricki T.

Owner

“We’ve swapped brand ownership to keep our schedule intact, but are now actively looking at competitors who understand how real-world teams function. If you're a solo creator, Metricool might work for you. But for any professional team or agency, this tool is a liability unless they overhaul how notifications work and stop misrepresenting what the platform can do.”

Dayna L.

Social Media

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

“Company that do automatic renewal are scammy, they just hope you will forget about it or not read the fine print where it is writen that it will automaticly renew your membership.”

Pierre-Olivier J.

CEO

Cons

“There’s no way to assign a post to a teammate for manual publication. If the owner is unavailable, the post doesn't go out.”

Dayna L.

Social Media

“I’ve tried so many other scheduling tools and they were not as good as Metricool. If you want to use a platform that gives you wholistic knowledge about your brand(s)”

Prerna P.

Social Media Marketing Specialist

“Customer service is robotic and unhelpful, software is ok, but content becomes very generic.”

Josie L.
