”Sked makes it easier to post to multiple social platforms and tailor the media and copy for each accordingly. The visual planner is a great tool for strategy and overall look/feel.”
”I can now schedule weeks of posts in advance, my clients can view the schedule and approve/make changes as required. I'm no longer chained to the screen posting like crazy.”
Sprout Social can work for enterprise teams ready to pay for training, $199+ per additional user per month, and feature add-ons. Otherwise, choose Sked instead.

”We didn’t need all the bells and whistles and honestly there seems to be no way to opt out. We also didn’t love the constant sales calls pressuring us into buying.”

”[ ... ] it’s TOO expensive for what you get. I don’t like the fact that many features are add ons or only available on the most expensive plans.”
Verified Sprout Social review on G2
”Pricing is unclear, many hidden expensive add ons such as their version of ‘premium analytics’ which amounts to locking down additional ways of presenting basic reports.”

Sprout Social is a hard sell — especially during uncertain economic times. With Sked, you get unlimited users and our most popular plan for less than you’ll pay for a single Sprout Social user.
It takes a team to publish visual content, so invite as many team members, clients, and contractors as you wish at no extra cost.
Use the drag-and-drop visual planner to schedule and rearrange your content. See how your posts look before they golive.
Sprout Social charges $199-$349+ per additional user per month. You can onboard unlimited internal and external team members to Sked Social for less.
Drag and drop content on to a perfect copy of your Instagram feed. Move content around until your aesthetic is just right, and trust that each post will go out on the date and time you’ve assigned to each slot.
Schedule reels, stories (yes, for real), carousels, videos, and images to auto-post — no more manual posting from your phone on evenings and weekends.
”Sked Social has made it possible for me to truly sign off from work when the weekend hits, while content is still being published. It's allowed me to have a great work-life balance, and that's worth a lot to me!”
Invite clients to a portal that matches your brand. Show previews of your content, collect feedback, and let them reject and approve posts in one place— no login needed.
”In the last week, we’ve sent out content calendars […] to our clients and have received nothing but glowing feedback! It’s been an easy and seamless process on both ends and has saved our team so much time”
It takes a team to publish visual content that cuts through the noise. With Sked, you can set up custom approval workflows with as many steps as you need. Alert the right people when it’s their turn to provide feedback and get work signed off faster.
”Sked Social has helped us streamline our entire Instagram social media process. No other social media scheduling platform allows us to do this and we’ve tried them all.”
Collaboration should happen near your content —not in Slack, email, or a generic project management app. Use Sked’s internal comments to speed up collaboration between team members and clients. Tag people in Sked to make sure nobody drops the ball.
”Sked has allowed our social media team to more effectively create storylines and arcs and to coordinate with our marketing team through its engaging layout and useful planning tools.”

”My favorite part of Sked is the ability to easily repost UGC using the Chrome extension! The process for that is we regularly look for UGC and save it as a draft (via the Chrome extension), then I dig through those posts and plan them out
Get deep analytics for stories and reels — not just feed posts. You’ll know when your audience is active, discover the types of content that works, and see how your performance compares to your competitors’.
Get easy reports to share with stakeholders or clients for Instagram and Facebook – weekly, monthly or ad-hoc.
