Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Planoly

The free mobile app tier is limited to 10 uploads per month, too low for active accounts.
Additional social sets and team seats require paid add-ons rather than being included at higher volumes.
Auto-posting to some platforms requires a push notification and manual tap to finish publishing rather than being fully automatic.
Advanced monetization and automation features are gated behind paid plans with no lower-cost equivalent.

REAPER

The USD 60 discounted licence requires that yearly gross revenue does not exceed USD 20,000, above which the commercial licence at USD 225 applies
The commercial licence at USD 225 is nearly four times the discounted one for identical software, since the price is set by who is using it rather than by what it does
The evaluation lasts 60 days, after which continued use requires a purchased licence
Sold as a paid licence with no free tier beyond the evaluation period
