What is Publer?
Publer's feed is mostly holiday calendars, with real features hiding in same-day pairs.
The blog is dominated by monthly social media holiday calendars and customer stories, but product releases do land here — usually two on the same day. Mid-August brought hashtag groups and reusable text shortcodes together, both aimed at the same problem: the copy-paste a scheduling tool leaves you doing between posts. The newest entry is the September calendar, content marketing rather than product news.
What is Swello?
Swello adds TikTok analytics, closing the loop on the scheduling it already offered.
Swello is a French social media scheduling tool whose changelog mixes product releases with marketing. Its first product release since October 8 adds TikTok analytics: key account metrics with period comparison, a breakdown of videos against photos and carousels, post rankings by KPI, and CSV or PDF export, from the Large plan up. The comment and DM inbox remains in beta.

Publer
5.0MARKETING
Publer's feed is mostly holiday calendars, with real features hiding in same-day pairs.
◆ Current state
The blog is dominated by monthly social media holiday calendars and customer stories, but product releases do land here — usually two on the same day. Mid-August brought hashtag groups and reusable text shortcodes together, both aimed at the same problem: the copy-paste a scheduling tool leaves you doing between posts. The newest entry is the September calendar, content marketing rather than product news.
◆ Where it's heading
The shipped work is converging on reusable content blocks — saved hashtag sets, saved captions, CTAs, links and disclaimers — which turns the scheduler from a calendar into a small content library. Everything else in the window is audience-building for the same solo-operator and small-agency buyer the calendars target. Cadence here reflects publishing rhythm, not release rhythm; feature entries appear roughly monthly and arrive in pairs.
◆ Prediction
The reusable-content lane has an obvious next step in templated posts or saved post structures, since hashtags and text snippets are the two pieces already covered. The calendar posts will keep arriving monthly regardless of what ships.
Swello
5.0MARKETING
Swello adds TikTok analytics, closing the loop on the scheduling it already offered.
◆ Current state
Swello is a French social media scheduling tool whose changelog mixes product releases with marketing. Its first product release since October 8 adds TikTok analytics: key account metrics with period comparison, a breakdown of videos against photos and carousels, post rankings by KPI, and CSV or PDF export, from the Large plan up. The comment and DM inbox remains in beta.
◆ Where it's heading
Swello is building toward team and agency workflows: post approval, then comments on drafts, then CSV export, and now reporting on a network it previously only scheduled. Paid features keep landing in the Large plan. The unified inbox moves it toward engagement management while the changelog doubles as a marketing channel.
◆ Prediction
The likeliest next release is the inbox leaving beta. The AI features mentioned in September have not shipped, and the entries give no timing for them.
