# Resaltalo or a social media manager

> Hiring a social media manager vs using Resaltalo for each listing’s pieces: how each is paid, how long it takes and what it includes.

A social media manager is paid monthly and runs the whole account: posting, replying and planning. Resaltalo is paid once per property and builds every piece for that property with your brand in a few minutes. They do different jobs: with a few listings a month, a kit costs far less than a monthly retainer; if you need someone running the whole account, they work together.

## The differences in one table

|  | Social media manager | Resaltalo |
| --- | --- | --- |
| How it is paid | Monthly retainer | One-time per property, no retainer |
| When pieces are ready | Depends on their schedule: days | A few minutes after payment |
| What it produces | Whatever is agreed each month | Over 650 pieces per property: reels, flyers, carousels, web page and copy |
| Replies to messages | Yes | No: inquiries come straight to you |
| If you change your mind | You ask for another version | Several ready-made styles to choose from |

## When each one makes sense

- **Resaltalo:** you add one to a few listings a month and want fresh material to post for weeks without depending on anyone.
- **Social media manager:** you handle high volume and need someone replying and planning the account every day.
- **Both:** the manager uses the kit’s pieces instead of designing them and spends their time posting and replying.

## Quick math

Multiply the kit price (below, in your currency) by the new listings you add in a month and compare it with the retainer you were quoted. Packs of 3 and 10 lower the price per listing.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Resaltalo post for me?

It can schedule the campaign on your networks if you connect them, but it does not reply to messages or comments: that stays with you or your manager.

### Do pieces carry my brand?

Yes: logo, colors, name and contact on every one.

Try it with one listing: the preview is free and you see the material before paying.
