Vista Social

The content calendar is the detail I'd point to first, it shows the whole month at a glance and you can drag things about. Sign up was quick and I've not had any trouble with posts going out. It's a little pricey once you add the extra accounts, but for a small business it's still good value.

We needed a proper way to plan posts for the club newsletter and social pages, as the volunteers kept forgetting. Signing up took a little longer than I'd have liked, mainly because I had to confirm my email twice. Once it was running the posts have gone out regularly and the volunteers find the calendar easy to follow, so on the whole we're pleased with it.

The calendar view is the bit I like most, you can drag posts around and see the whole week at once. I signed up for the free trial then moved to the basic paid plan. My only gripe is that the image editor is a bit slow when you've got lots of tabs open, but it's fine otherwise and I've not had any posts fail to publish.

We signed up for the monthly plan back in 2019 to handle our scheduling posts for the shop and we've kept it going ever since. The scheduler is easy enough once you get the hang of it and the analytics are handy for seeing what works. Only thing that bugs me is the reports are a bit clunky to export, otherwise we're happy.

Of the three I tried this was the easiest to get my head round, the others were far too busy. The price is in the middle of the pack, not the cheapest but not dear either. I did wait a day for a reply when I had a question, which was a bit slow, but the answer was helpful when it came.

Knows his way round a scheduler by now, so the tool itself is straightforward for me. The reporting covers reach and engagement well enough to show clients what's working, though it doesn't go as deep as the bigger platforms. The monthly cost is fair for a small team and the posts have gone out reliably.
