Lately Review – Great for Instagram, But Pricey for Solos

Lili's Honest and Unbiased Review

Lately Review: Pricing Frustrations

The basic plan is so limited that it almost feels like a free trial. Most of the features you’d actually want are locked away unless you pay for a more expensive plan. As a small business owner who does everything alone, it’s tough to see the value in spending that much money. The price just doesn’t match what you get, especially if you’re hoping for a tool that will do most of the work for you.

Streamlining, Not Replacing

Lately Review does make social media tasks easier. It can save you time by helping you organize posts and come up with ideas. But you still need to know what you’re doing when it comes to social media. The tool won’t replace a real strategy or the need for someone who understands how to connect with people online. It’s more like a helper than a full solution.

Final Thoughts on Lately

If you’re looking for something to take social media off your plate completely, this isn’t it. Lately Review is good for making things a bit easier, but you’ll still need to put in the work. For solo business owners, it’s hard to recommend unless you really need those extra features and are willing to pay for them.
