    Are there any decent apps out there to manage multiple social media platforms at the same time? I guess I am thinking of things like Hootsuite, but I am ideally looking for something free or super cheap (and will consider ones from alternative sources like the sister site or elsewhere if need be).

    Anyone got any suggestions?! Looking to manage my social media accounts for my artist page, ideally in a single, cohesive app rather than having to go on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Soundcloud, and so on separately.

    Checkout Pidgin, Open Source, has a huge collection of user dev-ed plugins, can manage Whatsapp, Telegram, Discord, Twitter and many others, but no SoundCloud afaik.

    Cheers for this. Looks good for managing a newsletter or something, but seems to be a chat based app so only utilises the chat/messaging functions of apps rather than being able to post to news feeds and so on.

    Radaar might be right for you. It seems there used to be lifetime license option, but it's not available anymore. Maybe someone has it.

    The power button on your phone can manage your social media. Press and hold for a couple of seconds. An option pops up asking if you wanna restart or shutdown. Press shutdown. And viola, Social Media managed like never before.

    Go on 4chan and hire a incel shutin, that does nothing but look at a screen all day. What could possibly go wrong?
    2nd possibility hire someone from Fiver.com and tell them you give them a dollar bonus for every 1000 followers that they manage to add to your accounts..(ps. don't pay them more than 5 dollars a week)

    good luck and remember the Internet was created to use up all the spare time that people have to make sure they don't accomplish anything.

    Thanks for the list,

    Thank you

    1. Buffer: It offers a free plan for managing up to three social media accounts and scheduling posts.

    2. Later: This platform has a free plan with limited features, but it allows scheduling posts for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

    3. TweetDeck: Owned by Twitter, TweetDeck is free and primarily focused on managing multiple Twitter accounts, scheduling tweets, and monitoring activity.

    4. Zoho Social: It offers a free plan for managing a limited number of social

    There are some but they're not free.

    I recommend you just create a folder in your browser bookmarks/favorites called "My Social Media" and then copy the corresponding links: 1 Facebook, 2 Twitter, 3 Instagram, 4 Soundcloud there and you're done, it couldn't be any quicker. one click = 1 second and your website is there immediately and your password manager has already saved the password.

    Direct is faster, with a provider you first have to go to their server and if the server fails or gets hacked, you're in trouble.

    Some free options, like Buffer and Later, let you schedule posts across multiple platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, which could work well for your artist page. They both have free versions that are pretty handy, though they may come with some limits on the number of posts or accounts.
