Postfolio vs Later
Later is known for visual Instagram planning, its link in bio page and analytics, with scheduling to the major channels. Postfolio is built for people who run social media for more than one brand, and for the clients they run it for.
Where Postfolio is different
01
The Grid is the real profile
Postfolio draws your planned posts into the brand’s actual Instagram profile, above the posts already live, with the date on every tile. You judge the feed exactly as a follower will see it.
02
A portal for every client
Each client signs in to their own brand’s portal and sees only what needs them. They approve or ask for changes in a click, and nothing posts until they do. You pick how involved each person is: full collaboration, low collaboration, comment only or viewer.
03
Invoices beside the work
Bill a client from the brand they’re for. They pay by card on a page with your name on it, and Stripe pays you out to your own bank.
04
Olio, the assistant you text
Text Olio photos and a line from your phone. The draft is waiting on the brand’s Grid when you sit down, and nothing goes out until it’s approved.
