ShortSync alternative
ShortSync is a solid tool, and as a content creator myself, I even used it for a while! It was just a tad expensive for me, and their pricing is dependent on the swinging EUR/USD conversion. I created deploy.social as a personal tool that does the same thing, priced in US dollars from the start.
Deploy is a full-featured tool that distributes your social content to all major platforms, using official platform API access. If you're already familiar with ShortSync, you'll find a large overlap in functionality in Deploy, priced in dollars instead of euros.

Questions
Is Deploy cheaper than ShortSync?
It depends on the EUR/USD rate on the day you check. deploy.social is a flat $15 a month in US dollars; ShortSync is €14.99 a month in euros. Both have a free plan with 5 posts a month.
Why does Deploy exist if ShortSync already does this?
ShortSync is a solid tool, and I used it myself for a while. I wanted the same job priced in US dollars, with no exchange-rate swing changing what I pay month to month.
Can I switch from ShortSync without losing anything?
Yes. Your videos live on the platforms, so there's nothing to move. Connect your accounts to deploy.social and post the next one from here.
