Midrub is popular on Envato Market, because it is powerful and inexpensive. However a tool called Stackposts is popular as well and IMHO has better UI (User Interface). If you are a SaaS-person I would highly recommend PromoRepublic and Agorapulse along with Sendible. Give them a try, a trial period is totally free.
