Official OAuth — including the LinkedIn and X connections Metricool's free plan withholds.
Metricool's best-time logic transfers: HeyRepli suggests optimal slots from your own audience data.
Keep your comment-to-DM funnels if they convert; let HeyRepli handle everything that needs a real sentence.
Yes — metricool.com/pricing lists the free plan as covering social networks 'except LinkedIn and X (Twitter)', and X support requires a paid add-on even on paid plans.
Keyword-triggered automations: turn comments into DMs, auto-respond to DMs by keyword, moderate video comments. Powerful funnels, but rule-based — and Metricool labels them 'free for a limited time', meaning pricing may change.
For pure reporting depth — 100 competitor profiles, unlimited history from Starter, Looker Studio connectors — yes, and this page won't pretend otherwise. HeyRepli's analytics serve engagement decisions, not agency report decks.
Yes, and agencies do exactly that. But note you'd be paying twice for inboxes — check whether HeyRepli's free plan plus one Metricool seat beats your current stack.
