also create a customized plan if you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Winner<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the price plans, SocialBu offers the most features at the lowest price, starting at $8. Also, SocialBu price plans are designed better as compared to other tools so you get the best features at a reasonable price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also when you go for a free plan, SocialBu does not demands your credit card information. As long as you do not upgrade to a paid plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now we\u2019ll compare these tools on the basis of the following verticals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Instagram Story Scheduling<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Story scheduling is the feature where you can create and plan stories ahead of time using a scheduling tool. You can plan and create stories, add stickers and emoticons to them, add the swipe-up links and location tags, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each tool mentioned above provides the <a href=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/schedule-stories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">story scheduling<\/a> feature. Later and SocialBu offer the bulk upload feature for stories, but Planoly does not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Winner<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SocialBu and Later have an edge for this part, but because Later&#8217;s price plans are more costly than SocialBu&#8217;s, we can conclude SocialBu is the winner here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2933 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-09-04-1024x468.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram Story Scheduling\u00a0\" width=\"1024\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-09-04-1024x468.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-09-04-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-09-04-768x351.jpg 768w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-09-04-1536x702.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-09-04-2048x936.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>2. Social Media Monitoring<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media monitoring lets you track the latest trends and the performance of your posts. It is based on your selected keywords and hashtags.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can track the posts by hashtags and keywords and see what your competitors are up to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can keep an eye on the latest trends in your niche by tracking specific hashtags.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you can create user-generated content as well with the help of this feature.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Winner<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planoly does not offer this feature. Later offers the hashtag tracking and analytics whereas SocialBu offers the complete <a href=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/monitor#keywords\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">monitoring features<\/a>. You can set up your feed in SocialBu to track all your keywords and hashtags with minimum effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can say that SocialBu is the score to win here as it allows keyword tracking also, and at the lowest price too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2906 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-08-06-1024x533.jpg\" alt=\"Social Media Monitoring \" width=\"1024\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-08-06-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-08-06-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-08-06-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-08-06-1536x800.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/File-08-06-2048x1067.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>3. Analytics<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The analytics feature will allow you to keep track of your social media presence. You will be able to track the performance of your posts and stories. You can check your follower growth, keep track of your post engagement rates, and much more. By evaluating the best-performing posts and their posting times, you can calculate the best time for you to post. Also, you can evaluate which types of posts your audience likes best.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Winner<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All tools under discussion offer the analytics feature.
