Questions,
answered.
Keep the tool that matches the work you actually need done.
Is MRKT DEPT a direct Blotato replacement?
It can be if your main need is a complete content operation rather than distribution alone. If you already produce every asset, Blotato may remain a good fit.
Does MRKT DEPT publish without approval?
No. Every post comes back for your approval, and publishing is limited to the connected channels selected for that post.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Start in web chat with your business link and get one free sample video before choosing a plan.
