Verdict
Google Business Profile schedules posts natively for free and now documents recurrence and multi-profile publishing. Paid software is worth comparing for localized templates, approvals and reporting, rather than simply because you have several locations.
Start with Google for Updates, Offers and Events. Its official guide supports future scheduling, recurring posts and selecting multiple Business Profiles. That removes the old assumption that multiple locations always require a subscription. A tool with stored local fields or separate reporting workspaces may still be useful for location-specific campaigns. Native scheduling horizons, series-wide edits and cross-location propagation have not been tested here. Check current category-specific post policies before preparing an offer.
