1. LaterBro
With LaterBro you can log in using either Facebook or Twitter and schedule out content for those social media platforms. You can create status updates, multiple ones if you like, and schedule them out for different times and days. However, LaterBro does limit your word count in Facebook more than the actual site does. While this is not the most advanced program, it’s simple and easy to use and doesn’t require you to sign-up.
2. Buffer
The Buffer platform is compatible with LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter and can be used on either a computer browser or on a mobile phone. This app allows you to “clip” various different photos, links, video, text, or you can even write status updates and Buffer will save them all for you. After Buffer collects your thoughts and words, it then slowly releases it out to the world, spacing each post out. Analytics are also provided, so you can see the reach and engagement for each one of your posts.

Hootsuite is relatively easy to use and is also excellent at tracking conversations and measuring out the results from each campaign. A free, professional or enterprise solutions price plan are available and all have different options, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your needs.
4. Timely
Timely is a very helpful tool, as it uses analytics based on your Twitter account and removes a lot of the guess-work.
