Free works — until you publish to more than two channels.

Meta Business Suite is fine when Instagram and Facebook are your only channels. Once TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest or Google Business are in the mix, you're back to tab-switching. Once your team grows past one person, you're running approvals in Slack.

Where a paid tool earns its keep

Three jobs Meta Business Suite can't do.

  • 8 native channels

    Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, X, Google Business. One queue. One workflow.

  • Team workflows, not just logins

    Role-based access, approval chains, client review portals, audit logs. The parts of social that need people.

  • AI trained on your brand

    Brand-Smart AI learns your voice from your Brand Kit. Drafts captions, report commentary and Google-review replies in your tone.

Most teams run both.

Meta Business Suite stays useful for Meta ad buys and Commerce Manager. Sked handles the publishing, approvals, inbox and reporting across every other channel. No tool chaos — just the right tool per job.

Common questions

Questions about switching from Meta Business Suite.

  • Meta Business Suite is free — why switch?

    Free works when Instagram and Facebook are your only channels. Once TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube or Google Business are in the mix, Sked saves the tab-switching. Once your team grows past one person, Sked saves the Slack approvals chaos.

  • Does Sked publish to the same channels as Meta Business Suite?

    Yes, plus six more: Instagram and Facebook native, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, X, Google Business. Threads and Snapchat via notification-based publishing.

  • What about Meta-specific features like ads and shopping?

    Meta-specific ads management and commerce stay in Meta Business Suite — Sked reports on Meta ads performance alongside organic, but campaign creation and shop setup live in Meta's tools. Most teams use both.

  • Can Sked replace Meta Business Suite for our team?

    For scheduling, inbox, approvals and reporting — yes. For Meta ad buys, Commerce Manager and page roles admin — keep Meta Business Suite for those. The two live happily side by side.
