Questions about best social media tools

Do I need a scheduling tool?
Once you post to more than two platforms, or more than a few times a week. Below that the native apps are free and schedule perfectly well.
Does scheduling reduce reach?
No — this is a persistent myth. Scheduled posts go out through the platforms' own APIs and are treated identically to posts made by hand.
Does ZENVIQ run these tools?
No. These are other companies' products, compared here. The tools ZENVIQ builds and hosts are marked separately.
