Reviews of Amplifr
Amazing product but the support is not on the same level
Comments:
Amplifr is a wonderful product with amazing features and the girls from the online support chat are very kind.
Unfortunately the developers team is either too small or too busy to take care of the problems the platforms has. This makes a very bad impression.
Pros:
Amplifr has the best design I have seen by far for social media scheduling tool. It is easy to use, straight to the point and has everything needed - calendar, post preview, evergreen posts and even tags. It supports Instagram Stories and Pinterest. Overall it is an amazing product with lots of unique and useful features.
Cons:
There was a bug in with ne of the features in my account. I contacted the support many times. They were kind and understanding each time, but always told me that the developers are too busy to deal with my problem. The total time it took for a simple bug to be resolved was 70 DAYS! Amplifr, please hire more developers to support your paying customers! Everything else is superb, but no business should treat their customers like that.
Schedule Social Media Posts for Multiple Handles Easily
Pros:
1) The clean and intuitive interface makes it easy to schedule and publish social media posts.2) The Analytics feature helps me to understand the reach and engagement of my social media posts with the audience
Cons:
The service has been good, but unfortunately, Amplifr has completed its service and it is no longer available for public usage.
Basically an alternative to Buffer, with scheduling + analytics for multiple accounts.
Pros:
It allows for unlimited future scheduling to multiple social media accounts at one time (even via bulk CSV upload), and also provides stats on reach, impressions, and engagement for any connected accounts (on all posts -- not just the ones you schedule through Amplifr). Easy to read bar-graph dashboard for these analytics.
Cons:
When purchased via AppSumo in July 2017 the Amplifr team said they were going to create the feature to auto-posting evergreen content to accounts -- saying it was on their roadmap. They have yet to make good on this (to this point, 10 months later), so my main reason for buying this software at the time was null and void. (As I have other tools that allow scheduling to multiple social media accounts + analytics.)

Hey Scott! Nate here. Thanks for the review, I think it's fair and to the point. We've been struggling with higher loads and usage volumes, and couldn't hire engineers and implement new features that I personally promised we'll implement quick enough. There's a bunch of new stuff in Amplifr every month, but you're right, we didn't roll out the evergreen scheduling, and a few other key, important features. Good news is that we're already working on the evergreen feature. I'm not sure how long it will take, we're at the product research phase, but if you can spare us a few minutes and tell us how you'd use it ¿ please shoot me an email at [email protected]. ;-)
Super easy to schedule my social media posts
Comments: Amplifr has given me/my social media channels a regular presence. Since I'm able to schedule posts in batches, I'm not constantly thinking about what/when to post next. I can create a batch of content when inspired and schedule it all to post over a couple of weeks. It's taken the chore out of posting to social media.
Pros:
The price and easy functionality are the best things about this software. I use this to schedule posts for LinkedIn, LinkedIn business page, Google + page, facebook page, and my twitter feed. I purchased Amplifr because I'm not a social media guy, but realize the benefit of social media and posting frequently. So, now I create a bunch of content and then schedule it out to my social feeds. I also have the ability to have more than one user on my account, so I hired a virtual assistant and she schedules posts for me as well.
Cons:
The only thing I don't like is that I wish there was another way to view scheduled posts. I'm scheduled out months in advance and to view how far out I'm scheduled, I have to scroll all the way down the page. I wish there was compact view or something to where I wouldn't have to scroll as much.
This is a great value for money; they provide the best customer support
Comments: Saves time when I need to plan and publish content to social media.
Pros:
This is a phenomenal tool for small agencies or businesses to automate their social media. The interface is easy to learn and you can pay per account, as you go. Customer service is phenomenal too.
Cons:
The features are limited and sometimes the API disconnects profiles from the software. If you're a big agency and need to approve workflows, I wouldn't recommend this tool.

¿¿ Hannah, thank you very much for the review!
Great product but needs some maturing TLC.
Pros:
Super easy product to use. Has a lot of great features and benefits that other social schedulers don't have.
Cons:
The program hasn't had a lot of updates for over a year. When inquiring about a product, was told that they couldn't until they got more funds
Amplifr Can Semi-Automate Your Social Media
Comments: Amplifr has been good to me. It's easy to use with multiple accounts (though it is quite kludgy with Instagram and no longer supports personal Facebook pages), but maybe because it is in fact a Russian-based SAAS product, it seems to require reauthorizing social media accounts quite frequently (more than others I've tried). Still, it just seems to keep working once you've loaded up the accounts, and it lets you know via email if there has been any problem with a particular post or account.
Pros:
Easy to use, pretty great UI/UX, "set it and forget it" approach to posting across social media accounts.
Cons:
The login page frequently switches to the Russian language, which perhaps heightens security concerns these days.
What I like about Amplifr
Comments: It is a cost effective program to schedule post on multiple very quick. They are continuing to make it better all the time with the thought out updates. You are not dealing with bug because of the updates.
Pros:
Amplifr is very easy to use and figure out. You can schedule posts by pre made time slits or post when you want to schedule them. They will send you a weekly report about your post and the engagement you get. You can set up different project to help keep thing organized. It is very easy to change a post from platform to platform, this way you are able to schedule a post on twitter, Facebook and have them set up for each platform.
Cons:
The only con I really have is how hard it is to post to Instagram, this is not Amplifr issue but more with Instagram itself.
Scheduling content across social media channels made easy
Comments: Using it to schedule content on social media on a weekly basis for a photography company.
Pros:
The amount of social channels that can be connected has been one of the highest I could find in any social management and posting tool. Also, the information from every post that is displayed (analytics such as the likes, views, clicks, and conversions) is VERY helpful as I am not required to switch around from tool to tool, and I can see all the data in the same place. As a detail, I like the fact that Amplifr supports using emojis (which in my case, is helpful). Finally, when it comes to scheduling, the calendar view is quite helpful as is the fact that I can customize messages for each channel.
Cons:
No real cons for me, other than the fact that a couple of times, I had to reconnect channels for no reason (I hadn't changed any passwords or such things). When it comes to the actual functionality of the tool though, and its features, I have no major complaints.
Social media posting is so easy with Amplifr
Comments: I understand that social media posts help business, but I don't make the time. With Amplifr, I can schedule posts in advance. I usually have an assistant schedule the posts, so it frees up my time and still allows me to reach my audience.
Pros:
I love that you can have multiple social media handles and post to all of them at once using Amplifr. Amplifr makes posting to social media easy as you can schedule posts to multiple platforms. It's also very easy to learn.
Cons:
Nothing that I can think of. It's simple to use and easy to understand.
Good For Social Media
Pros:
I like I could manage most of my social media accounts from here and get insights
Cons:
many times I would have to reconnect my accounts from them being taken off.
Easy, fast scheduling app for social media
Comments: Amplifr save time. The most faster scheduling app for social media.
Pros:
Amplifr is a nice tool for easy and fast scheduling post for social media. Is one of more faster ui/ux interface i try, and it can be use with people with slow internet Pros about Amplifr - Most of popular social media - Pinterest / instagram - Analitic - Workflow (great for agency) - save draft - calendar view -time slot suggestion I use and test several social media app and is the most faster
Cons:
Amplifr is not getting alot of update and if you compare with other tools they start to get behind - no instagram grid/view (like plannable) - no automatic reeschedule - no smart posting - no post library - no editor (like promorepublic) - NOT really evergreen post - NOT really bulk upload - No inbox feature or management
Social Media Scheduler + Reports
Pros:
I love the reports, I use this most for the reports than anything else. I don't even have to use the scheduler to grab the reports, so I think it's a plus.
Cons:
You can't post on Instagram, but this is instagram fault, really.
my first tool for social media and i love it
Pros:
It is my first social media tool - I have an agency plan and i love how easy it is to add my clients to it and collaborate in posting and scheduling content.
Cons:
The UI is now a bit outdated and still some issues with posting directly on instagram without app notifications.
Excellent Social Media Tool
Comments: It completely automates our posting and the support is excellent
Pros:
Extremely easy to use and fully featured, uber easy RSS feed to social media channels which works effortlessly. Stats are shown in a very clear format and future posting is so easy a child could do it. A truly versatile application at a very competitive price.
Cons:
Wish I could use more than the currently assigned RSS Feeds but understand there has to be a limit sometimes.
Very easy and good Social management tool!
Pros:
The overview combined with the suggested time-slots when your post will perform the best. Also the analytics section is very good.
Cons:
I connected Instagram but then i need to go on mobile every time i want to publish on Instagram. I would like to have this option (Automatic posting to Instagram)
Been scheduling social media through one app
Pros:
The bots and the fact that it reminds me to post on instagram! That's a huge plus for me. It also has a nice interface and it's quite simple to use.
Cons:
Wasn't able to easily find a way to shorten urls so had to use a different website for this. I also didn't like the fact that I can't save my hasthags for the instagram posts somewhere easy with it.

Hi Paola! Thank you for the review! You can setup link shortening and your own custom vanity domain for short links on Settings screen. Amplifr works with goo.gl or amp.gs by default, or you can use your own domain (like on.mybusiness.com/) if you prefer that. Hope this helps!
Makes it quick to post on all social media accts. Better than any other software out there i tried.
Comments: Saves time and lets me target all the social media networks.
Pros:
Simple and quick to post when your active on social media. -All the options are there when posting if you want to use it. For example adding additional pics. -Optionally easy to modify the post content for each social media network if you want to tweak it separately for each of them. -Automatically converts URL to shortened version -
Cons:
I am fairly new to this and love it so far, but confused what the instagram bot option is for and how one gets the image to post when being reminded.
Reasonable Social Media Tool
Comments: Used it for 1 year to manage my social media accounts and posts.
Pros:
Was relatively easy to use and maintain over time.
Cons:
Did not have enough quality features that would make this a sustainable solution.
Great scheduler with plenty of cool features
Comments: Easy to schedule multiple accounts seamlessly without hiccups and headaches such as hootsuite.
Pros:
I love all of the tools it provides like supporting emojis. I like the calendar layout. I like that you can schedule alternate messages or images in the same post for different accounts.
Cons:
I haven't been able to successfully link Instagram. I'm sure they will fix that. I wish they did have a regular calendar view and that scheduling evergreen content was easier.

Hi Ashley! Thank you very much ¿ you in fact wrote the first Capterra review of Amplifr. <3 The features you want are all on our roadmap: 1. Evergreen content scheduling 2. Higher / calendar view 3. We have a trick to try with direct Instagram scheduling. However if you were unable do _link_ you Instagram account ¿ that sounds weird. Please do reach out to us on [email protected], I'll sort this out.
Another Buffer alternative - competition is great.
Pros:
Amplifr is a great platform. Generates analytic reports and other reports. Post to FB, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google Plus and WAY MORE.
Cons:
Amplify is another Buffer alternative. The tool/app seems great, although it has a lot to grow into.
