Smarcomms offers an entry-level plan at £99/month, seemingly targeted at solo entrepreneurs, but there are crucial caveats. One surprising add-on fee is an extra £9.95 for using their social media scheduling platform, which essentially charges you to post the content they've created. This could be perceived as a hidden cost, especially for businesses that assume posting is part of the management package.
While Smarcomms delivers decent quality, custom-branded posts—a marked improvement over competitors that rely on generic stock photos—their entire operation is based in the Philippines. This could raise concerns about the consistency and quality of content, and the capacity to quickly adapt to trends or breaking news relevant to different time zones or cultures.
By comparison, Feedbird offers a more comprehensive approach without hidden fees, ensuring consistency and real-time adaptability in your social media strategy. In essence, while Smarcomms' £99 plan may seem cost-effective initially, it's worth scrutinizing the details and potential limitations, especially for those seeking a more nuanced, responsive social media presence.
