Later.com Review

Image Credit Later.com.

I have been using Later.com to publish my Instagram posts for quite some time. Later.com was previously known as Latergram. That's how long I have been using them. I found Later.com when I was searching for a free tool that I can schedule and auto-published the posts. I am not earning money from my social media accounts, so I need to find a free tool. Who doesn’t love free tools? I felt that Later.com is a great add on for your Instagram profile.

Later.com Price Plan

Let’s focus on the free tools.

The free account allows you to integrate with 1 social media platform. I would highly recommend that you used it for your Instagram, given that Later.com is very much focused on it. You can schedule 30 posts per month. That is like posting a photo daily.  On top of that, you can upload unlimited images on Later.com. You do not need to worry about exceeding the storage limit.

What I love about Later.com is that it's very user-friendly. You can drag and drop images to upload the images. You can even do bulk scheduling of images. They have video tutorials available on their site to guide you. It’s really easy to use. The only downside is that the look and feel of their interface could be more beautiful. 

This is how I scheduled my posts. This is especially good for business or users who are looking to keep post consistency at a specific timing. Single post can be automated using Later.com.

All in all, the free account is suitable for individuals who are looking to update their Instagram platform regularly. However, if you do not want to create one more account, you can use Facebook Creator Studio to schedule your posts. Facebook Creator Studio is a free platform too.

Now, let's talk about the paid account; I had tried out the "Plus" plan. You can do a bit more with the Plus account. You can schedule videos, multi-photos post, IG stories but not IGTV. Some of these functions would send you a push notification to alert you to post the images or videos. It is because Facebook does not allow third-party apps to publish multi-photo posts and IG Stories automatically. At least, there are alerts to remind you of the posting, so that you would not miss out posting any posts.

This is the Preview function. This function is really great especially if you wish to maintain a certain aesthetic look for your profile. Not only that, you can have an overview of your upcoming posts.

I like to use Later.com to view what my gallery would look like when I schedule the posts. This is one way to maintain the look and feel of your Instagram. Simply get a free account if you are not monetising from your social media.

I hope this review is helpful. Comment below and let me know what other marketing content do you want to see.
