Pallyy ships small, steady polish for agency social scheduling — but its feed has gone quiet since late 2025.
Pallyy is a social-media scheduling tool with an agency and client-collaboration bent. The recent releases are consistently small, user-requested quality-of-life improvements: client self-connect links, smoother post creation and media upload, shared-calendar tweaks, and Instagram-specific options (3:4 crop, Reels audio renaming, shoppable posts). There's no large feature in the window — this is a mature product on incremental polish. Notably, the changelog's most recent entry is from December 2025, so the public feed has been quiet for months.
Swello adds team post approval and multi-language AI writing to its social scheduling core.
Swello is a French-market social media scheduling tool serving agencies and community managers managing client accounts. Recent product work has layered collaboration features onto its scheduling core: a post validation workflow where team members and clients can comment, request corrections, and approve content before it publishes, plus tracking of who last edited each post. Alongside platform features, Swello has invested heavily in content marketing through its 'Follow Back' podcast targeting social media professionals.

There's no large feature in the window — this is a mature product on incremental polish. Notably, the changelog's most recent entry is from December 2025, so the public feed has been quiet for months.
Two threads run through the work: sharpening the core posting flow and deepening agency/client collaboration (shared calendars, client-connect links, disconnection alerts). Instagram remains the priority network, with several format-specific features. The trajectory is refinement of an established product rather than expansion into new surfaces — and the recent publishing gap makes the near-term direction hard to read from the feed alone.
The signal is thin: with no changelog entries since December 2025, there isn't enough recent activity to predict a confident next move. If shipping resumes at the prior cadence, more agency-collaboration and Instagram-format features are the most likely continuation — but the quiet feed is worth flagging.
Swello is a French-market social media scheduling tool serving agencies and community managers managing client accounts. Recent product work has layered collaboration features onto its scheduling core: a post validation workflow where team members and clients can comment, request corrections, and approve content before it publishes, plus tracking of who last edited each post. Alongside platform features, Swello has invested heavily in content marketing through its 'Follow Back' podcast targeting social media professionals.
The product is moving toward agency-grade workflow tooling — approval chains, collaborative editing, a forthcoming notifications and mentions center, and a private messages/comments inbox. The UI translation into 11 languages and AI-powered post translation into 13 suggest a deliberate push beyond the French-speaking market into broader European agency accounts. Teased AI assistant features point toward automating more of the content creation cycle, not just scheduling.
The next release will likely be the notifications and @mentions center signaled in the approval workflow announcement, completing the team collaboration loop. The private messages/comments inbox has also been previewed as imminent and would meaningfully expand Swello's engagement surface.
