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 depends on the swinging EUR/USD conversion. I created Deploy as a personal tool that does the same thing, while also saving me a little cash.

The Caption step in Deploy: one caption going to seven platforms, with a counter under each platform's logo showing how it fits that platform's limit, a first comment, and a preview.
One caption for every platform, checked against each one's limit before it posts.

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 at a cheaper price.
