It’s Social has quickly established itself as one of the best sites that allow us to schedule posts on Instagram. It allows us to easily schedule the publication of photos, albums and even stories.

The site features a minimal design and intuitive, organized and divided in an optimal way. Unfortunately, the english language is not present, a detail that we can safely overlook given the ease of use of the interface.

You can connect multiple accounts Instagram, so you can easily manage them all. In addition there is also the possibility of being able to save on in cloud, like Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive, the photos we're going to publish.

Each of these differs from the others in several characteristics, such as the number of accounts that can be connected, storage and cloud support.
