We've been using later organically for almost two years for both ourselves and clients to publish didn't content across different platforms. Very helpful in terms of mapping out content in advance.
Pros: Later is super user-friendly and it is very easy to schedule organic content out to multiple platforms at one time. The overview also is nice so you can see a birds eye view of where things are at.
Cons: At what point you were able to leave comments - this feature going away felt like a loss. Our QA specialist used to leave comments as edits for our team. Removing this feature made things more manual.

Overall my experience with Later has been positive! It makes planning and scheduling content straightforward and visual, however some features like analytics and multi-account management can feel a bit limited...
Pros: What I like most about Later is how visual and intuitive it is. I can plan my feed, schedule posts easily, and drag and drop content, which makes managing social media so much simpler.
Cons: What I don’t like about Later is that some features (like analytics and hashtag suggestions) they feel limited compared to other tools, and it can be a bit clunky when managing multiple accounts.

Pros: Later se définit très bien par son nom, il permet une planification accrue des posts sur toutes les plateformes sociales que vous utilisez. C'est très facile d'intégrer vos comptes sociaux surtout si vous êtes inscrit par Google.
Cons: Bien que l'intégration des comptes sociaux soit facile à faire avec Google Sign, avec le classique email et mot de passe c'est un peu compliqué.
Maxence D. · Community Manager · Internet · August 12, 2025
Overall experience is 99/100 for Later. I’ve tried other scheduling programs but this is by far the best.
Pros: Later is so easy to use and the visual grid is excellent - it’s also super easy to manage multiple profiles and multiple client social accounts. There are so many features from drafts to analytics to the linkin bio
Cons: It’s missing LinkedIn analytics which would make it perfect and I’d love to be able to auto post stories on Instagram but otherwise all good.
Fiona M. · Director · Marketing and Advertising · May 22, 2025
Juste après quelques tutos son utilisation devient très facile, il est le meilleur outil de planification de post, un vrai gain de temps
Pros: Later comme son nom le permet de planifier pour plus tard vos posts sur LinkedIn et Facebook, possibilité de le faire sur plusieurs jours ou semaines. Avec une souscription, on peut intégrer des images de haute définition
Cons: La version gratuite nous limite sur une qualité d'image assez médiocre et dans la chronologie des plannings
PAUL T. · Community manager · Paper & Forest Products · April 27, 2025
I used to use Later before switching to other services. It was decent but I needed more.
Pros: I had to start using a different service since Later only allows planning for social media posting in a fairly simple way.
Cons: It lacks many intuitive functionalities I discovered while trying new services, so I switched to
Lauren B. · Lead Content Creator · Information Technology and Services · April 16, 2025
Je suis satisfait de son utilisation et je le recommande
Pros: Parmi les points forts, Later permet de programmer les planifier et de gérer les posts sur les réseaux sociaux
Cons: Je n’ai rencontre aucune anomalie ou bugs dans mon utilisations, il reste un tres bon choix pour tout les avantages et son prix
Laura G. · Social Media Manager · Internet · March 31, 2025
I love it and couldn’t do my job without it.
Pros: This program is amazing. I am able to easily schedule content across platforms seamlessly.
Cons: I wish there were more specific and accurate analytics.
Allie F. · Social Media Associate · Education Management · January 16, 2025
I use Later for my acupuncture client to ensure all of her social media posts are published weekly. I have really enjoyed the easy to use drag an drop scheduler. I used to use Hootsuite but I won't go back due to the affordability and ease of use!
Pros: -Integrations with so many platforms including Pinterest, YouTube & Instagram reels which aren't always supported with other platforms - I love the calendar lay out and how I can just simply drag and drop to reschedule posts when needed
Cons: I love everything about Later. However, I do wish it supported even more platforms like up and rising social platforms such as Gab.
Skyler R. · Freelance Social Media Specialist · Marketing and Advertising · November 4, 2024
Later is a mostly simple way to schedule posts across a variety of platforms. It offers helpful insights to users seeking to increase their social media engagement rates. However, the interface is quite busy and cluttered, and certain posts require a little more time to figure out.
Pros: I like Later's calendar layout, it makes it easy to see where your posts are scheduled, see what you have scheduled when, and editing your posts is relatively simple on Later's interface. I also like the feature that suggests the best time/day to post to get the most engagement, it has been pretty accurate!
Cons: Later's interface is pretty cluttered and a bit overwhelming to navigate on a desktop. I have not tried a mobile version if they offer one. 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 · Media Production · November 1, 2024
Used it for a small time but ended up moving to other platforms
Pros: Posting and Scheduling was fairly simple
Cons: Lacks a lot of functionality of other services
Bryan R. · Marketing Director · Hospitality · September 12, 2024
Pros: Easy to schedule content, and rearrange my content calendar with drag/drop features.
Cons: Was often slow and didn't support all of the platforms I needed to post to, so I needed to use multiple scheduling tools.
Katelyn S. · Chief Wingwoman · Marketing and Advertising · September 1, 2024
Their lack of flexibility in customer service is concerning.
Pros: The features initially seemed promising, my experience after the free trial has been disappointing.
Cons: I was automatically enrolled in the most expensive plan after the trial, despite not selecting that option. This felt deceptive. To make matters worse, when I noticed the charge for the second month and immediately contacted support, I was unable to cancel or even receive a prorated refund. This lack of flexibility and customer service is concerning. Additionally, the 59-second video limit is restrictive for content creators like myself. It forces me to post some videos directly, defeating the purpose of using a scheduling app.
Valentina D. · owner · Veterinary · July 30, 2024
Pros: It comes at a good price for small businesses and creators and has good beginner friendly tools.
Cons: Full integration of channels is not possible like tagging products for facebook schedule, etc
Madhura K. · Strategist · Apparel & Fashion · July 5, 2024
Pros: NONE, they will scam you at the end with their refund policy, it's when you ask to get a refund that you see the thru value of a company.
Cons: Worst company ever, be carefull with their "refund policy" they will scam you ! This is their policy "In Later, each of our paid plans is set to renew automatically at the end of the billing cycle unless it is cancelled. we consider refunds within the first 7 days of your first invoice" 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 · Internet · May 31, 2024
My experience with Later is positive in general. I would even recommend this platform to other administrators.
Pros: $8d
Cons: I don't have much to complain about. But the free version has limits. The number of posts you can schedule per month is limited. In addition, there are functions such as statistics that are also limited. The mobile app is not very good.
Ali Andreina A. · Community Manager · Real Estate · May 8, 2024
J’utilise Later depuis des années, avec Hootsuite c’est pe meilleur gestionnaire de calendrier éditorial pour Instagram.
Pros: Facile à utiliser Permet de gérer son calendrier éditorial à la volée sur téléphone
Cons: J’aurai aimé une meilleure visualisation ou un mode preview
Tayeb A. · CEO · Arts and Crafts · April 20, 2024
It keeps our social media on time and allows us to review many posts at once so we can be sure our posts are cohesive yet varied as well as interesting!
Pros: So very easy to use! This way we can focus on what our posts say and not when do they go out.
Cons: hmmm...login can be clunky but overall, it is really easy to use.
Jennifer O. · Principal · Architecture & Planning · January 8, 2024
Pros: The ability to post across various linkedin pages
Cons: Sometimes the media loading was slow and clunky
Andy E. · General Manager · Computer Software · December 17, 2023
I am happy with Later and will continue to use it.
Pros: Later makes it easy to organize our content and publish it to our social media platforms in advance. I like to batch this task and have been using Later for it for several years now. It is simple enough to not over complicate the job and has enough tools and options to make it quick and easy.
Cons: Sometimes it can't save videos or reels due to the length of them or I will receive another random error message that doesn't actually tell me why it failed.
Samantha C. · Owner · Cosmetics · December 14, 2023
I have liked it and used it often but it's not the best on the market anymore. It just has the brand name recognizeability.
Pros: I like that it's simple, easy, and straightforward. For what it does, it works and does the job well.
Cons: I hate the price point. I used to think that this was the best deal I could get for a scheduling software, but I have since found other options that work better and go the distance! I will not be returning to Later if they don't uplevel their pricing and features soon!
Nia P. · CEO · Marketing and Advertising · November 29, 2023
Later's auto-publishing feature has become an indispensable tool for anyone serious about maximizing their social media impact without the hassle of manual posting. It's time-saving and empowers users to maintain a consistent online presence. I wholeheartedly recommend Later to fellow professionals and content creators looking to streamline their social media strategy!
Pros: The Auto Publishing feature has seamlessly integrated into my workflow, allowing me to schedule posts across multiple platforms in advance, not just with static posts but stories as well!
Cons: There was nothing I disliked about Later.
Maria T. · Publicist · Public Relations and Communications · November 26, 2023
Pros: I had it when it was free. Of course now there is different tiers and features etc etc. There was enough on the platform to get the job done, but other platforms just offered more for less when it got down to it. The Monthly fee trend seems to ruin the overall vibe of these platforms. You're limited in how often and what you can post.
Cons: Limitations with tier subscriptions. Unless you plan to fork out a lot of money for what you are doing then there are better options out there.
Tyler B. · Digital Asset Manager · Automotive · November 24, 2023
Pros: Later is great for managing social media on Facebook and Instagram. You can post to other applications too. I schedule my posts at the start of the month and it automatically publishes to my social media platforms at the time of my choosing.
Cons: You need to add the ability to be able to manage more social media accounts at a time
Anonymous User · Executive · Retail · November 22, 2023
Pros: I loved being able to plan content well in advance across various platforms. Later also gives you a snapshot view on instagram so that you can see the overall layout of how things will look before they post. It allows you to curate a more cohesive visual.
Cons: Although it works with multiple platforms, it is really only geared towards Instagram.
