Comparison
The Publer alternative that doesn't ration your posts
Publer bills per social account and blocks X on free. We charge flat and include X.
Flexible per-account pricing, with X locked behind a paid plan. Below is an honest side-by-side — including the cases where Publer is the better choice.

What each one costs
Published list prices. Where a vendor bills per channel or per seat, that is stated — it is the difference that compounds.

When Publer is the better choice
We would rather you pick the right tool than churn out of ours in a month. These are real reasons to choose Publer.
- Publer's post recycling and bulk scheduling are strong, and their per-account pricing is genuinely fair if you only need one or two accounts — one account on Professional is cheaper than our Creator plan.
- They support a wide network list with mature integrations, and their workspace model is flexible for freelancers juggling clients.
- Their free tier, X aside, is one of the more usable ones in the category.
Where we win
Every line here is checkable against the pricing pages linked above.
- X/Twitter works on our free plan; on Publer it requires a paid plan.
- No per-account maths — $10/month covers ten channels rather than scaling with each one.
- No 10-post cap and no 24-hour history limit on free.
Built for people who post video
Most schedulers, Publer included, treat a Reel as a file to upload. The difference shows up the first time a post fails at 6am.
It checks your clip before it queues.
Duration, file size and aspect ratio are validated against each platform's rules. A clip that is too long is a blocking error; the wrong aspect ratio is a warning. You find out before the post fails, not after.
One composer, every channel.
Write once, adapt per platform, and queue it all from a single calendar. Analytics come back into the same view — including best-time-to-post, once you have published enough history for it to mean anything.
Your AI agent can draft, but not publish.
Connect Claude or any MCP client on the free plan — 67 tools, including timeline editing. Publishing is preview-then-confirm: an agent proposes a post and it only goes out when you confirm.
Questions people actually ask
Why does Publer exclude X on the free plan?
X's API is expensive — Publer has publicly discussed the cost. It is a reasonable business decision, but it does mean X is unavailable free there and available free here.
Which is cheaper?
It depends on channel count. For one or two accounts Publer's per-account pricing can undercut us. From roughly three channels upward, our flat $10 Creator plan is cheaper. Figures checked 2026-08-17.
