I’ve been using Followr for a little over six months, and I even bought the highest-tier plan for the white-label features. I really tried to give the platform a fair chance, but at this point I’m honestly disappointed.

From the start, I ran into several issues.. slow support on occasion, publishing failures, glitches, but I assumed things would improve over time. Unfortunately, they didn’t.

1. Publishing is unreliable (and yes, I lost clients because of this).

The same posting issues others here have mentioned?
I’ve been dealing with them too.. constantly.

Followr often fails to publish scheduled posts, and having to reconnect social accounts every time something fails defeats the entire purpose of using a scheduler. I’ve used many other tools over the years, and while occasional API hiccups happen, it has never been this frequent.

These failures directly caused issues with client expectations… and I actually lost clients because content didn’t go out when it was supposed to. That’s on me for trusting the platform, but also on them for promising reliability.

2. I wasted hours troubleshooting instead of working.

Instead of doing client work, I spent way too much time reconnecting accounts, checking failed posts, re-uploading content, messaging support, trying again and again

That adds up. And for an agency or freelancer, time lost = money lost.

3. The new AI features are mostly paywalled.

This is one of the most disappointing parts.

Even after buying the highest-tier plan, a huge portion of the flashy new AI tools are now locked behind extra fees. I get that token costs are real, but the pricing doesn’t feel fair.. especially when I even connected my own API keys and still couldn’t access most models without upgrading.

At this point, about 50% of the “new features” are blocked unless you pay more.

4. AppSumo users feel like “cheap leads” for upsells.

This is honestly what it feels like now.
A lifetime deal should not turn into “pay more if you want the features we advertised later.”

If this had been transparent from the start, fine.. but adding upsells after people invest the highest plan feels wrong.

5. Analytics were promised, but never delivered.

I asked about analytics early on because it was a huge missing piece.
They said they were working on it, possibly even with AI-powered insights.

Months later?
Still nothing.

And now I can safely assume that if analytics ever arrive, it will be extremely limited or yet another paid add-on.

Bottom Line

I really wanted this platform to succeed.
I was patient. I invested money, time, and trust into it.
But the combination of unreliable posting, constant reconnections, lack of promised features, and aggressive upsells makes it impossible for me to rely on Followr anymore.

At this point, I can’t recommend it.
