Buyer's guide
Most of these tools handle comments and DMs well, so this is a roundup rather than a single pick. Sked brings engagement into the same workspace as publishing and approvals; a dedicated social-inbox tool may go deeper on routing and SLAs.
Publishing is only half the job. The tools that stand out pull comments and DMs from every profile into one inbox, so replies do not get lost across tabs and a team can share the load without missing a conversation.
To qualify, a tool must bring social comments and direct messages into a shared inbox, not just link out to each native app.
