Later Reviews in September 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Don’t sign up. It’s a scam.

Signed up for a free trial and then had to go through to a support inbox to cancel. Cancelling so so so difficult. I continued to bill for months after I requested to cancel, with no refund, just a too bad so sad attitude. Save yourself some money and sign up to buffer instead. This platform with straight out rip you off. Buffer can do the same thing for free. You can find alll the images you need on free sites like pixabay and pexels and unsplash.

"Affordable Scheduler with Quality Features"

What do you like best about Later? Later is one of the more affordable social media schedulers available. All schedulers pretty much have the same capabilities when it comes to the type of accounts you can post on as well as it's limitations. API keys created by social platforms only allow so much. However, Later's commitment to growth and ease of use keeps me a loyal user. Having used other scheduler's in the past, I feel I get the most ROI out of Later.

Support is weak

Support is weak, commercial and rigid.

Dark Pattern cancellation process

I would give a lower review if possible 1. You can't get customer service if you are not a paid subscriber. 2. If you need to cancel you will need to go through Instagram to try and get their attention. And the person working may not understand. 3. They have continually billed me. I thought I had canceled in 2021. Realized this May that they are still charging, and refuse to refund me. 4. Because they are on "online" they can tell when was the last time you have used their service. Please ...

"Easy to use visual scheduling tool"

What do you like best about Later? Easy to upload visuals, and to see what you have scheduled without a lot of clicking in and out of menus What do you dislike about Later?

"Great for scheduling and finding best times to post"

What do you like best about Later? It gives you prompts as to when the best time for your business to post is. They are also developing AI tools that act as a ghostwriter for your captions - it's not perfect, but definitely a good jumping off point. The hashtag suggestions are useful too. I use the linkinbio function which is handy for tracking best performing landing pages.

"Helpful for client's who don't plan to post much and have tight budgets"

What do you like best about Later? I used Later for several years for my social media clients who were on tight budgets. The free accounts allowed us enough posts to get them visibility on platforms like Instagram and Pinterest but without the costs required by say - Tailwind.

No support for a paid service?!

We are PAYING for a service and only have a support option "chatbot" which helps with nothing obviously because chatbots don't work. This is almost criminal. We had a simple billing address update request and it took me ages. No thank you to this service, look somewhere else.

Absolutely no customer service

Absolutely no customer service, program errors all the time and the only way of communicating is via email. Avoid at all costs!

I was a customer for over 5 years and…

I was a customer for over 5 years and when I upgraded to add some functionality, noticed a couple of weeks later I was being overcharged. Support sent me a long list of instructions to reconfigure my account but refused to refund the money I paid because of "firm policy". Replies to my queries were very slow so I looked around & am using another service that is much better at half the price. The Later system is clunky & expensive.
