The best free social media tool for building professional-looking posts across multiple networks. The free version is a bit limited with the creative choices but you can upload your own images quite easily. So you could ask clients if you can use their images or you could use a free image bank tool like Unsplash to get the best imagery for your posts.
Facebook has a range of free social media tools including there business manager for ads. But I’ve opted to include the Facebook Studio Creator just for the amount of insight data you can get from every organic FB or Instagram post or story. The previews you receive are obviously the most accurate and you have the ability to easily schedule your posts.
In our opinion the best free social media tool for scheduling. The free version you can have up to 30 posts scheduled for 3 social accounts beating its nearest competitor Buffer by 20. Although you would have to pay for the service if you wanted to add more accounts or schedule more posts and get analytical insight. The platform is pretty easy to use and you can see all your posts easily in the main dashboard for the week.
The best free image stock for commercial use. If you’re going to be successful in social media your imagery needs to be on point. There is some great free editing tools like Adore Lightroom and Spark that can help you with this but you’re going to need imagery in the first place and Unsplash is the best.
We’ve already got Hootsuite at number 3 but Buffer still makes our list at 5. Although their free version only gives you 10 images/videos to schedule in the free version. The Buffer is a better platform with more features This includes the ability to see your timetable in week/month. Also you can group posts by campaign name to easily break down results. And if you decided to use the paid version you get better value than Hootsuite.
In Conclusion
There are some useful free Social Media tools, of course, it might make sense for your business to pay for a premium scheduling platform for your business to invest later down the line. Although I’ve seen businesses function perfectly well using both Hootsuite and Buffer to cover all their media channels. One to watch for the future is that is not yet possible to schedule stories on the Facebook network this will likely be a service you may have to pay for when the tech is available.
