How we rank
Every one of these social media scheduling tools is scored on the same 8 weighted criteria (scorecard v2), from the vendor's published data. 117 of the 135 listed have enough verified data to be ranked; a tool with under 60% of the weight covered is listed but not ranked. Nobody gets custom weights, including our own products.
Heaviest criteria
- Entry price · Core25%
Price per month of the cheapest paid plan, against the prices of other social media scheduling tools on the same billing basis (monthly-billed prices against monthly, annual-billed against annual).
- Free plan or trial · Core15%
Whether you can use the tool before paying: a free plan, or failing that a free trial, as shown on the vendor's pricing page.
- Verified features · Core15%
How many of the 19 features we track for this category the vendor's own pages verifiably show (posting queue, bulk scheduling (csv or multi-post), calendar view, first-comment scheduling, direct auto-publishing, recurring posts, media library, ai caption assistant, post and account analytics, report exports (pdf/csv), best-time-to-post suggestions, approval workflows, user roles and permissions, separate client workspaces, unified social inbox, white-label reports, link tracking (utm / short links), content repurposing, ugc collection). This counts verified features only: a tool that documents less scores lower here, and only here.
