Marky reviews
Master your social media game
What everyone's saying
Easily the worst investment I've made. Their app is secretly loading spyware and ad scripts onto my whitelabel portal. This violates user privacy and looks like a deliberate attempt to steal my customers. They promised to remove the scripts I list below, but months later, nothing has changed. What's more, they are falsely claiming to have removed something today. If you value your business or user privacy, do not use them.
Just checked - they are still using:
- frill.co (do you want to chat with my customers?)
- hyros.com (what ads and attribution do you track?)
- stripe.com (what kind of payments do you want to collect from my customers?)
- baremetrics.com
- firstpromoter.com
- lr-intake.com
- Meta Ads and Google Ads tracking
- not sure what else through Google Tag Manager
I have been a fan of Marky for about a year now and own two Tier 4 accounts which I currently use for managing my clients. The interface is clean, easy to navigate, and user-friendly. They offer instant content creation as their value proposition, and while as an artist/designer I haven't gotten much value from the basic designs, that wasn't my intention. I went all-in on this app because I saw it as the future of content creation, plus the support is awesome and the founders are active and constantly evolving the platform.
Currently, I mainly use it to generate content models (ideas with visuals) which we then iterate and improve. The best part is I don't need to write content copy, which saves me time. We initially managed clients using Vista Social, but I find the process much easier in Mymarky. Our workflow is simple: when Marky produces content, my graphic designer uses it as a concept in Canva, uploads a new design, and gets client approval. I'm confident this app will flourish soon as it's truly a gem for me.
The Worst Purchase I’ve Ever Made!
Using this application has been an absolute nightmare. They secretly inject spyware and advertising scripts into my whitelabel portal (CNAME), blatantly violating user privacy and making it seem like they’re actively trying to steal my customers. Despite countless promises to remove these scripts, nothing has changed for months. If you care at all about your business or your users’ privacy, avoid this company at all costs!
TODAY'S UPDATE: They are still running a long list of invasive and completely unnecessary tracking scripts on the whitelabel portal, including: baremetrics.com, hyros.com, refiner.io, Google Ads Tracking, lr-intake.com, firstpromoter.com, frill.co, stripe.com, TikTok Ads Tracking, and Facebook Ads Tracking. This looks like a deliberate attempt to poach my clients. They promised a quick fix—which is the only reason I didn’t immediately demand a refund. Disabling these scripts is extremely simple, yet after months, nothing has changed. Stay far away from this company if you value your business, your reputation, or your clients’ trust!
This application has been a complete disaster. It secretly loads spyware and advertising scripts on my whitelabel portal (CNAME). It feels like they’re trying to steal my customers. Despite repeated promises to remove these scripts, nothing has changed for months. I strongly advise everyone to stay away from this company if you care about your business and your users’ privacy.
UPDATE: You are still using numerous unnecessary and privacy-violating scripts on the whitelabeled portal, such as baremetrics.com, hyros.com, refiner.io, Google Ads Tracking, , lr-intake.com, firstpromoter.com, frill.co, stripe.com, TikTok Ads Tracking, Facebook Ads Tracking. This makes it seem like you are trying to take my clients. This issue was escalated to Kenny, and I was promised these scripts would be removed quickly. That’s why I did not request a refund. Turning it off is very simple thing. However, after months, nothing has changed.
Have been using Marky for some months now, it’s a great social media marketing tool to automate social media content. The ability to scan your website and generate a plan is great. Designs can be somewhat repetitive over months of use, but they are always adding new design themes, which somewhat relieves this.
Support is good and responsive, and the company are always updating us in the Facebook groups. Would love to see some more AI generative options and the ability to create posts directly from RSS feeds, supposedly introduced but I cannot find the option.
I’m hopeful that Marky will be around for a long time, and feel confident my money was well spent.
Keep up the great work guys.
UPDATE: Interestingly, when I logged into my account, my client invite feature was removed, which had been there in my AppSumo tier, but instead of hearing anything. They quietly removed it.
It’s highly unethical to offer a “client invite” feature in tiers below 3—when in reality, what follows is a completely different and misleading experience.
While the client invite feature allows you to input a client’s email, the outcome is far from what any user would reasonably expect. I tested it myself before sending anything to a real client and was surprised to find that the system sends a Marky-branded promotional email—not a login link or collaboration invite.
Clients aren’t added to a workspace or given any access to view or approve content. Instead, they’re pushed to create their own Marky account, effectively turning what should be a client collaboration feature into a marketing funnel for Marky.
What’s especially frustrating is that nowhere on the AppSumo listing does it clearly state this critical limitation. There’s no indication that you can’t actually serve clients, or that using the invite function will result in your clients receiving an unsolicited promotional message. This undermines client trust and damages the credibility of anyone expecting to be inviting a client to collaborate.
This needs to be addressed with transparent communication to reflect what users are actually getting at each tier. To make matters worse, I reached out to support after realizing that the “client invite” feature was just sending Marky-branded promotional emails. I was open to upgrading so that the client invite feature was truly client collaboration not marketing spam. However, I was told the only way to get that feature was by signing up through their website at agency pricing—as if I were a brand-new customer.
There was no reasonable unlock or remedy as an AppSumo, customer. Despite already investing in the platform. No recognition of that investment, no loyalty path—just treated as a brand-new customer rather than a paying customer. It’s disappointing. I’m open to updating this review if the company can find a fair path forward for loyal AppSumo customers. But as it stands—buyer beware: in Tiers 1 and 2, the "client invite" feature doesn’t serve you and your hard-earned clients; it converts them into Marky customers.
I’ve been using Marky for several months now, testing its features and functionality, and I must say, it’s been a great tool for social media management. So far, I’ve posted over 900 posts across various social media platforms using Marky, and while the growth isn’t instantaneous, it has helped me gradually increase my followers and views in an organic and natural way.
What I Loved
- User-Friendly Setup: Marky is incredibly easy to set up and use right from the start.
- Efficiency: The platform simplifies the process of creating, scheduling, and posting content across multiple social media accounts.
- Customizable Features: I appreciate the flexibility to edit posts, tweak designs, schedule content, and even automatically generate posts in seconds.
What Could Be Better
- Limited Platform Support: As of now, Marky doesn’t support posting on Threads or YouTube, which is a bit disappointing.
- Manual Monthly Updates: While the software automates a lot, you still need to visit Marky monthly to generate and schedule new posts. I’d love to see an option for fully automated post generation without manual input.
Overall Impression
I’m really impressed with how smoothly Marky works. It has streamlined my social media posting process, saving me time while keeping my profiles active. Despite a few limitations, the platform is undoubtedly beneficial for anyone serious about social media marketing.
Here’s a short video review I created to share my experience:
https://youtu.be/D1-1vdbEhwA
I really wanted to give Marky a higher note, I have lots of expectations for it and the team is passionate. But it lacks basic features, and is not AI-ready.
First, we cannot give it a topic to write about (!!!). You must pick from a list of topics that cannot be described in detail. This is a very inconvenient flow. You cannot ask it for a specific tone, nor can you give it a URL or a document to let it create bulk-related content.
It hallucinates constantly and rarely provides satisfying outputs, maybe 1 out of 15. Many comments confirm I am not the only one having an impossible time to make it say something correct, despite having invested a lot of time finetuning my brand description and topic titles.
The style sounds too AI-isch, there is obviously no real prompt engineering investment behind the scene.
Since we cannot use our own prompts, you have to rely on the "topics" that have a tiny context window (just a title), which contribute to irrelevant content generation. With the cost of AI in 2025 you could be much more generous.
Nor can your brand be fully understood in detail. The context window size is also too small.
The image editor is basic, far from a Canva or a Picmaker, and it still needs polishing. It lacks an instant redo feature for quickly switching templates or creating multiple visual variations with the same text (you must do that manually).
Text Animation feature is very basic as well, and looks pretty outdated in 2025. It doesn't add any value IMHO.
The social media posting feature is basic as well, as you cannot customize posting settings like in other competitor tools. It's a one-size-fits-all approach; there is no customization per platform.
So what are the positive points?
- Easily upload your content from other tools, and write your own content. The flow is simple, straightforward, to post on multiple platforms at once when we don't need any advanced settings.
- Splitting long posts for X is really smart and works well.
It creates bulk designs that you can edit, making it an alternative to Canva when you don't need a specific style. You can keep a draft to copy/paste new content, creating coherence (you cannot save a template, though).
You get useful statistics from all your social media.
- Support is reactive
- The roadmap is full of good ideas; now let's see how it evolves!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. I was used another tool similar to this, more expensive and the templates was looking all the same. Now this tool, is amazing 😍😍😍 love the mimes I love the template variety. The content is great and engaging. Now I have great posts to go out on a regular basis. Still trying it out. Haven't tested out video. But what I had before this is 1000% better. Definitely a must to add to your agency.
It's early days with this software. Certainly a good thought starter. Some of the generated ideas do look very AI-written, but the way I see it, I'd rather have something that does 85% of the work and I get it done, than it not get done at all.
User interface is very good, easy to use. One of the reason that I'm scratching for things to say is because I barely had to do much with it to get a week's worth of losts out.
I've given it 4 tacos for now, it might make five if it keeps me working on the social media; may land on three if I lose interest!
