What users say
Pros
- Automated workflows push found videos into Publer as drafts or scheduled posts without any manual upload.
- Bluesky posting is handled better than in Buffer, which makes Publer the stronger pick for that network.
- Drafts saved in the composer take images and alt text, so posts can be staged before they go out.
Cons
- Posts go live cut off halfway through, publishing less text than the draft held.
- Scheduled video posts repeatedly fail to publish, and the failures recur often enough to prompt a switch to another scheduler.
- Loading the site can wipe every planned schedule, leaving the calendar empty.
- Alt text is dropped from published posts, and video alt text cannot be attached at all.
- A Bluesky account moved to a different server cannot be reconnected, forcing a cancel.
- Multi-platform schedules built through automation can arrive with only one network attached.
