What Metricool does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.

Metricool: when it makes sense.
Metricool makes sense to run analytics + multi-network scheduling for one or more brands; for a single network with simple publishing, a lighter tool suffices.
Keep if
You manage several networks and want analytics + scheduling combined.. You track competitors and produce reports.
Challenge if
You only manage a single network simply.. You mainly want basic publishing (another tool's free tier suffices).
