What they are

Metricool

Metricool is a social media management platform that covers scheduling, analytics, and competitor tracking across major networks including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. Freelancers, agencies, and small business owners use it to plan content and pull client reports without juggling multiple tools. The free plan is genuinely usable, though it caps brand connections and historical data depth.

Publer

Publer is a social media scheduling tool that covers publishing, analytics, and AI-assisted caption writing across platforms including Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. It suits solo creators, agencies, and small teams who manage multiple accounts. The free plan is genuinely usable but limits the number of connected accounts, and the pricing climbs noticeably once you add team members or workspaces.
