It is easy to use and affordable. I'm able to handle scheduling for multiple clients on multiple channels with ease. It can handle photos and videos and allows me and the client to schedule to the calendar.
I haven't found any specific problems with the software. There are occasional delays in interacting with new features on the social media channels, but that seems more of a Meta problem than the Later software.
Their LINK IN BIO feature, which allows me to create a landing page on Instagram, solved the problem of just one link in the bio. This enables me to direct every post and video directly to the link/page on the client's website as needed. That is a huge benefit.
I have for many years now signed up new clients on their own Later account. It is one of the best for those new to social media posting. It has been successful at keeping the UI simple and kept up with the latest necessities when social posting.
I have nothing to say about it. The free layer means that its a no cost option. Thats a plus.
Preparing business clients to run their own Social Media in the future we needed a reliable platform to hand them over. Rather than locking in our clients we preferred to help them learn how it works. Later.com has been the go to for us for helping our clients learn how to use a dashboard to cover content creation and posting schedules. Its great.
Easy to use, several network options, price is OK
Fewer networks for the basic plan than others
Saves a lot of time
Oh, the days of receiving a notification to post instead of the post being uploaded automatically. Those are gone with Later, pretty much everything can be scheduled, it makes like much easier and allows everyone to collaborate.
There is no option to approve, or disapprove posts on the platform, or leave notes on a scheduled post. I think that would make scheduling much simpler, and simple is great.
The biggest problem was the team having to post things manually. But Later almost completely eliminated that problem since now other than a few things everything else can be posted automatically, even carousels most recently.
It's pretty seamless to add content and schedule it on the platform. The way your notes turn into the caption and the link in bio feature is right there when scheduling it spectacular and makes it for far quicker to schedule than other alternatives.
I would love it if the calendar could also be used to add drafts, right now the drafts can't be added on the calendar feature only the schedule posts can. Therefore, it's harder to view how the week planned ahead will look like unless it is scheduled.
Instagram Link in bio. Before, we used a different competitor but Later's link in bio is cleaner and better than the alternative.
The ability we have to implement our social media campaigns all at once across multiple platforms.
The limitation of the number of photos or videos allowed in a post.
It saves us a lot of time since we can post our content to multiple platforms at once. This allows us more time for content creation and other tasks.
What I like the most about Later is that I can Plan what to post on my Instagram and schedule when to post those pictures or commercials. It saves me a lot of time, and I never miss any posting deadline, and I always have content on my Instagram pages.
I have not found anything I dislike on Later so far.
Later is helping me plan and schedule content on Instagram pages. It helps us increase Engagement and drive traffic to our website. I can also measure the social engagement and other analytics that are crucial to that specific campaign for that given time using Later.
Later has the most reasonably priced upgrade options in my opinion - even the middle-of-the-road upgrade is under $25/month. I like the clean, white interface as it allows me to focus on my content rather than the scheduling site. I feel comfortable using Later to build out a content plan for the rest of the year
I wish that there was a way to use something other than Linkin.Bio to utilize the one Instagram link. I use a far more powerful link in bio tool so I don't need this feature in Later but pay for it anyway
Later helps me stay organized and look at the big picture of my social media presence. As I am currently going through a rebranding and rebirth of my blog, it's nice to feel capable of such a marketing undertaking
When first starting with Later, it was easy to navigate and learn. My team was able to pick it up quickly and start using it in their daily tasks. The features are excellent, especially for the price. It's a simple, yet effective tool. We've seen our ROI increase from the linkin.bio feature on Instagram.
The only complaint is that users are currently unable to schedule Facebook and Twitter posts without images.

I love that Later is an overarching social media management platform but my favorite thing is their link in bio feature.
I don't think I have any complaints. The free version is great.
It makes it easy to share posts with links to my Instagram account.
My favorite thing about later is being able to visually see your Instagram feed as you plan/schedule out your posts. I also love being able to save hashtags that I use as well as the hashtag suggestion tool. My husband and I own several eCommerce stores so being able to manage all the different social media accounts (Instagram/Facebook/Pinterest) for each store in one account is a huge time saver.
Wish you could schedule posts with multiple photos. It would also be nice to organize the media files into folders.
Later has helped me with consistent posting to my social media accounts. I love being able to sit down for 1 hour and plan out the entire week or even month of content.
IG preview mode drag and drop team functions simple UX saved hashtags link in bio feature
If I want to post manually on IG and I need a link, I can't add it to the link in bio feature so I have to go thru the Later app.
Later keeps our content consistent. streamlined a daily task into a weekly one.
it makes scheduling multiple posts ahead of time very convenient
it is not the easiest platform to learn and understand
hard to navigate at first but it is great for scheduling posts ahead of time
The auto publishing feature is the absolute best part of Later. Not having to wait for a push notifications, which is completely gates appointment scheduling in the first place, is a game changer. Their grid view feature while planning is a close second!
How many features are not available on certain tiers— ie writing within the calendar view is only available on two tiers up and beyond which feels like a very basic feature.
Being able to batch and plan content for client accounts as well as have a full visual of how it will look on their grid. Additionally, the in-depth analytics helps when pulling client reports.
I can see at a glance what is scheduled on which of the three platforms we use: what date, time and the platform. I can drag and drop any post to reschedule it.
No in app watermark feature. I need a watermark on some images and no on others, so I need to first add the watermark using a different app. A watermark feature in the app would be good.
Scheduling, so I can take time off at weekends, knowing Later will be working for me automatically publishing the posts I've scheduled.
Because my company isn't doing enough social posts to need to pay monthly, I was worried that the free account wouldn't have enough to offer us. But, it's been really useful and exactly what we need to maintain a presence on our Instagram. Eventually, when our social accounts become more important/bigger drivers for new customers, I would totally consider moving up our account tier. I also love the preview of the grid.
I like it all! I think that if I was using the tool for more things, I may have more specific feedback, but for now - pretty happy.
I like being able to organize the grid on Instagram and plan it out in advance. If I was doing the way I used to (one at a time, saving drafts in IG, downloading images onto my phone, etc.) there'd be no doubt that I'd be doing a worse job or forgetting the order, or losing the images. It's really been super to lay it out before hand, and if I do it far enough in advance, I can still make last minute changes based on current events or what not.
Being able to plan out content in advance
Takes a bit of getting used to switching between the correct profiles and remembering which is which (despite the colour coding).
I’m saving time and able to make easy last minute changes..
Ease of use and constant updates and added features. Fantastic communication and resources for members in their emails.
The features that are missing are only missing because of Instagram’s limitations. Later is doing all they can to give us everything they can and it shows.
Continuous interaction and community building
We use the basic plan, which is free and super easy to use. My posting used to be very inconsistent, I wouldn't bother for weeks, but being able to schedule has made it a lot easier to post regularly, and I can get a good overview through preview. Thanks Later
The only quibble I have, is that I'd like to be able to post a limited number of videos and multiple pics on the free plan, but I also understand that some services need to be charged.
doing one afternoon session to create the week's posts, regular posting has increased engagement and following.
Later is very easy to use. Since i am using their service i am able to uniform the layout and improve the quality of the posts. By planning the posts for all month i finally enjoy my time off without worrying about leaving the accounts uncover.
I am using the free service and i don't have any complain. the application is really great.
I tried Later, as i need to be able to plan the post for the all month and so far is working perfectly for me.
