What is the cheapest way to keep posting for a local business?

Buffer's free plan covers three channels honestly, including Google Business Profile. Marky's own Solo tier at $19 billed yearly is cheap for what it does. We are $35 and are the wrong answer if steady on-brand posts are already enough.

Do I lose my brand voice settings?

They stay in Marky. Copy the rules out as text before you cancel - any tool worth moving to, ours included, will take them as a starting point.

Marky alternatives

This page is about leaving, not about buying us. What breaks, what carries over, what you should check before you cancel - and the alternatives that are not Shapeless, including staying where you are.

Why people leave Marky

You need short video and Marky does not make it.
The posts are on-brand but have nothing to say, because nothing researched what was worth saying.
You want to drive it from your own agent and there is no documented API.

Check these before you cancel

In the order they bite. Some of these turn out to be reasons to stay, and it is cheaper to find that out now than after the subscription lapses.

Google reviews. If reputation management is doing real work for you, we do not replace it.
Pinterest and Google Business Profile, which Marky publishes to and we do not.
Your remaining free posts - use them before you move.

What carries over

Your brand voice: bring the rules and three posts that worked, and the agents write from them.
Accounts reconnect through each platform's OAuth.

Where to go instead

3 honest answers, one of which is staying where you are. We are last on purpose - if one of the others fits you better, take it.

BufferIf you just want reliable scheduling at the lowest price, with a free tier and Google Business Profile support.
Predis.aiIf the missing piece is specifically video, and you can live with credit metering.
ShapelessIf you want researched posts and narrated video, and want your own agents able to drive it.
