HeyOrca vs Meta Business Suite – get the best social media scheduler for your team
If you’re on the hunt for a social media scheduler, you’ve probably considered Meta Business Suite. It is, after all, a free solution designed by Meta. But if you’re managing more than just Facebook and Instagram, or if you’re collaborating with others, you might want to consider a more comprehensive (and intuitive!) solution. Whalecome to HeyOrca.
Manage all your social media accounts in one place
Managing multiple social media platforms? You could use Meta Business Suite to manage your Facebook and Instagram accounts, but you’ll need to find a different solution for the rest. Rather than spending your days moving between tabs, invest in a social media scheduler that keeps all of your social media channels in one place.
Scheduling content is just the beginning. You also deserve a tool that makes it easy to report on your success, collaborate with others, and manage your community at the same time.
Social media management for teams of one or teams of many
Whether you're a solo social media manager or part of a sizable setup, you deserve a scheduler that helps you move at the speed of social.
Meta Business Suite covers your basic needs. But its 30-day scheduling window, modest collaboration tools, and limited customer support make it difficult to scale.
Choose HeyOrca for unlimited scheduling, robust collaboration tools, and top-rated support – all built right in at no extra cost.
Get unlimited users on every account
You won’t find per-user pricing at HeyOrca. Every HeyOrca plan comes with unlimited users, meaning you can involve anyone you need to be successful in your role.
Work efficiently with clients and stakeholders
Schedule unlimited posts on all the major social networks. And get content approvals and feedback directly in HeyOrca. Your clients or stakeholders won’t even have to log in.
Keep your client calendars separate
Everything from social profiles, media libraries, analytics, and social inboxes are client-specific. So you’ll always be confident you’re working on the correct account.
Get top-rated support within 4 minutes
Sea for yourself
Here’s how the Pod feels when they’re using HeyOrca to manage their social media.
“We were able to onboard all of our clients easily and all clients were impressed. Compared to other social media content scheduling and review tools I've used (Sprout Social, Agorapulse, Hootsuite) HeyOrca is by far my favorite.”
Gina S.
Social Media Manager
“HeyOrca has quite literally been a lifesaver. As an agency with 20+ clients, we needed a platform that would effectively manage clients across platforms. Creator Studio wasn't cutting it for our larger clients who required crossposting to Linkedin, Google My Business, etc.”
Devan F.
Social Media Strategist
“My team and I love the approval process and ability to schedule ahead by making draft posts. When we just used Meta Creator Studio to schedule Facebook content, it was more difficult to have 4 team members in there, we couldn't do drafts or approvals, etc.”
Grace T.
Digital Engagement Officer
“My team loves HeyOrca because of the way it allows us to collaborate on content, without us needing to use spreadsheets, and shared documents. Also, HeyOrca's customer service is outstanding.”
Nicole G.
Business Owner
“HeyOrca plans charge based on Calendars instead of users, so I like the ability for us to scale our team as needed. It's clear to the clients and gives our team more flexibility. HeyOrca is a great tool for agencies.”
Elsie S.
Social Media Marketing Manager
