First of all, you don’t need to pay anything to download Filmora to your phone or tablet. You’re even allowed to use many of the features, and edit projects without giving Wondershare a cent. There are, however, some limitations. For instance, there will be a ‘Wondershare Filmora’ logo applied to the lower right of all your projects. That in itself is hardly surprising, nor is the fact that some tools will be out of your reach, like use of the app’s AI capabilities.

AI Content Writing Tools

Ch‎atGPT

ChatGPT is a powerful conversational companion with great writing skills, but it only has information up to 2021 and doesn’t cite its sources, which should be table stakes for any trustworthy AI tool.

ChatGPT provides a flexible approach, allowing for easy tweaks and experimentation. For general marketing and content creation, ChatGPT continues to be my go-to.

Key Features

Best AI text generator we’ve tested

Collegiate-level writing skills

Helpful coding companion

Ry‎tr

If you insist on going for a dedicated writing tool, Rytr has my vote. It’s useful for short writing tasks like product descriptions and social media posts. You can also test it using to draft 500-word posts, even with technical terms, in a fraction of the time—revising is so much faster than starting from scratch. Its templates and plagiarism checker save time and effort, making it a useful tool for creating polished, ready-to-go content.

While it’s probably not suitable for longer or more complex writing projects, at just $9/month, it’s super afforable and good value for money.

Social Media Management

These tools handle everything from generating post ideas to scheduling content. They help me create engaging captions, format posts for different platforms, and even analyze performance data to see what’s resonating with my audience. The time saved on repetitive tasks means you can focus more on strategy and creativity.

Social Media Management Tools

Vista Social

Vista Social became a core part of my workflow for managing social media. One feature that will gonna help you is the visual scheduling and preview tool—it ensures every post looks polished and aligns with my brand before going live. The AI Assistant has saved me a lot of time by generating captions and responding to messages effortlessly. We also love how it consolidates all my comments and reviews into one hub, making audience engagement much easier to handle. Plus, the analytics help me see what’s working and adjust my strategy as needed.

Fe‎edHive

It is another of our favorite tools for managing social media. The AI suggestions and hashtag recommendations are a lifesaver specially when  you are short on ideas, and scheduling content is super easy. You will definitely love how the previews show exactly how posts will look, so everything stays on-brand. The analytics help me see what’s working, and the collaboration tools make getting approvals a breeze. It’s not great for tracking brand mentions, but for $19/month, it’s perfect for small business ideas.

AI is here to make social media marketing easier, but the secret sauce is still you. The best brands in 2025 will be the ones that mix AI’s efficiency with genuine, human connection.
