# Sked vs Later
> Canonical: https://skedsocial.com/compare/sked-vs-later
Full team collaboration, approvals, 8+ native channels and analytics — not a mobile-first visual planner stretched into a platform.
## Later is a great planner. Sked is a social team's workspace.

Later built a beautiful Instagram planner, and for solo creators it still is. Running a team — real approvals, multi-channel schedules, client reporting — is a different job.

### Past the grid, past the phone.

- **Every channel, not just Instagram** — Auto-publish to eight native channels. Stories with link stickers. Reels with custom thumbnails. TikTok carousels. LinkedIn carousels.
- **Team collaboration on every plan** — Comments on posts. Mentions on ideas. Client review portals without a login. Approval chains sized per brand.
- **Reporting a CMO will open** — AI-summarised weekly reports. Custom cadence. Sent to your inbox — not exported from a dashboard.

## When the team gets bigger, the tool needs to keep up.

Growing past 'one person, one phone' is where Later hits its ceiling. Sked is built for the gap right after.
