Sprout Social
Sprout Social is packed full of great features for businesses and large enterprises. It makes it easy to manage multiple social media accounts in a single intuitive interface. However, per user pricing means using the app with a large team can be very costly.
eClincher
eClincher isn’t the best-looking social media management tool on the market, so if UI is important to you, I’d recommend a different tool. Regardless, eClincher has excellent customer service (although it’s limited to live chat and video tutorials) and a robust feature set. Unless you’re a solopreneur, you will need to upgrade to a top-tier plan and purchase additional...
SocialPilot
SocialPilot is an excellent social media management tool for teams and agencies. It's easy to set up, quick to schedule content, and has multiple options for keeping your social media streams populated. It's also an affordable alternative to some of the pricey team plans offered by other social media tools.
Sendible
Sendible is one of the best social media management tools for agencies and teams. It's feature-rich and has excellent, customizable reports, though you'll have to pay if you want in-depth insights. The only downside is the slow customer service.
Hootsuite
Hootsuite has recently updated and streamlined its interface. It's now easier on the eye, and retains the functionality that has made it a social media powerhouse for more than ten years. At a starting price of free, it's definitely worth a try.
Buffer
Buffer Publish is one of the best social media scheduling tools around. It integrates with a ton of other marketing tools and makes social media sharing a breeze. If you're just starting out with social media marketing, then you can't beat the free plan.
Uklic
I was surprised to discover so many similarities between Uklic, a new freelance platform, and Fiverr, which has been around for ages. The range of services on Uklic is decent, but as the platform's so new, there's no way to tell at the moment how good individual sellers are. I did some research to check if Uklic actually has anything new and exciting to offer, or if it...
SkillDosti
SkillDosti is very focused on its local market, so it suits people looking to hire freelancers and employees in India. The platform needs some improvement to be truly easy to use, but the dual-purpose approach makes it worth considering for recruiters based in India. If you live in a different country, read on to discover my recommendations.
