Social Media Scheduler One calendar, 22 networks, every account you run
Plan a week of posts in one sitting and let them publish while you do something else. Upload once, send it to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn and 18 more, on a date you pick or the next free slot in your queue. 10 posts a month are free forever, and unlimited scheduling is $24/month.
What you can schedule
Twenty-two networks, from the ones that pay the bills to the niche ones nobody else supports. Connect the accounts you use and ignore the rest.
Full technical detail for each network lives on the platforms pages.
Scheduling guides by network
Each network has its own formats and its own quirks. These four pages cover what you can actually queue up and what you set before it posts.
Instagram scheduler
Reels, Stories, carousels and single images, with covers, collaborators and tags set before it posts.
Read moreTikTok scheduler
Videos, photo carousels and slideshows, with privacy, duet and stitch decided in advance. Paid plans only.
Read moreYouTube scheduler
Shorts and long-form uploads, with title, tags, category, privacy status and subtitle tracks attached.
Read moreLinkedIn scheduler
Profile or company page, video, images, documents and PDF carousels, plus an auto-posted first comment.
Read moreThe social media scheduling tools you get
Calendar, queue, multiple accounts and the numbers afterwards. Everything below is in the dashboard today, on a plan you can start for free.
A calendar you can actually plan in
Every scheduled post sits on one calendar across all your connected accounts, so you see the gaps before your audience does. Drop a post on a date and time and it publishes itself.
A posting queue for the rest
Not everything deserves a specific timestamp. Send a post to the queue and it takes the next free slot, which keeps a steady cadence without you touching the calendar.
Multiple accounts, one screen
A profile connects one account on each platform. With 5 profiles you can hold 5 Instagram accounts, 5 TikTok accounts, 5 YouTube channels and so on, and schedule across them from the same place.
One post, every network at once
One upload can go out to several networks at once, each with its own caption where the platform needs a different one. Repurposing a Short stops being four separate chores.
AI Shorts Uploader for captions
A built-in assistant watches your short-form video and writes the title, description and hashtags for YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Each analysis counts against a monthly quota that resets with your billing cycle.
Analytics after it posts
Views, likes, comments and engagement come back into the dashboard for every connected platform, so the scheduler and the numbers are not two different tools.
Video processing built in
FFmpeg video processing is included on every plan, 30 minutes a month on Free, so you can crop or trim a clip to fit a network without a second subscription.
An API if you ever need it
The dashboard is the product, but everything it does is also available over a REST API on every plan, Free included. See the social media API if you want to wire it into something.
Prefer to automate it end to end? The social media API does the same job from code, and the how-to guides walk through the common setups.
Free social media management tools, and what the paid plans add
The free plan is free forever with no credit card. Paid plans drop the monthly cap and add profiles, which is how you connect more accounts.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (per mo) | Scheduled posts | Profiles | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 10 posts/mo | 2 | Forever, no credit card. TikTok not included. |
| Basic | $24/mo | $16/mo | Unlimited | 5 | Adds TikTok and removes the monthly cap. |
| Professional | $50/mo | $33/mo | Unlimited | 25 | Whitelabel included. |
| Advanced | $147/mo | $118/mo | Unlimited | 75 | For larger agency rosters. |
| Business | $438/mo | $350/mo | Unlimited | 225 | Extra profiles at $1/mo each. |
A profile holds one account per platform, so 5 profiles means 5 Instagram accounts, 5 TikTok accounts and so on. Full breakdown on the pricing comparison page.
Best social media scheduler for small business: the price comparison
The four tools people weigh this against, at the prices they publish themselves. Each one counts differently, so the row that matters most is what five connected accounts actually cost you.

Competitor prices verified September 2026 on their own pricing pages. Three things worth spelling out. Buffer bills per connected channel, so its $5 headline is per account and grows every time you add one. Later’s figures are the annual rate (“billed yearly”); its monthly rate is higher and we did not capture it. Metricool prices in euros with a USD toggle, so the dollar figures here are approximate conversions of their euro prices, not their own USD numbers. Where a cell says a limit is not published, it means we could not find it on the pricing page we checked and we would rather leave it blank than guess.

Social media scheduling FAQ
Limits, free plan, accounts and the TikTok caveat, answered straight.
What is a social media scheduler?
A social media scheduler lets you write a post now and have it published later, automatically, without you opening the app at that moment. In Upload-Post you connect your accounts once, upload the media, write the caption, and either pin the post to a date and time on the calendar or drop it into a posting queue that fills the next free slot. It publishes on its own and the engagement figures come back into the dashboard.
Is there a free social media scheduler here, or is it a trial?
It is a real free plan, not a trial: $0 forever, no credit card. You get 10 posts a month, 2 profiles, the scheduling calendar, analytics, 30 minutes of FFmpeg video processing and API access. The one honest caveat is TikTok, which is not available on the free tier and needs a paid plan starting at $24/month.
Which networks can I schedule posts to?
All 22: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Pinterest, Reddit, Bluesky, Google Business, Discord, Telegram, Slack, Mastodon, Nostr, Lemmy, Dev.to, Hashnode, WordPress, Whop and Listmonk. TikTok is the only one that requires a paid plan; the other 21 work on the free tier.
How much does unlimited scheduling cost?
Basic is $24 a month, or $16 a month billed annually, and removes the monthly posting cap entirely: no quota from us, only the networks’ own anti-spam rules. It includes 5 profiles, which means 5 accounts on each platform. Professional at $50/month ($33 annual) raises that to 25 profiles and adds whitelabel.
Can I schedule the same post to several accounts at once?
Yes. One upload can target several networks and several connected accounts in the same action, with a platform-specific caption where it matters, for example a 90-character caption on a TikTok photo post against 2,200 on video. That is what makes repurposing one vertical video across TikTok, Reels and Shorts a single job instead of three.
Do I need to be a developer to use it?
No. This is a dashboard: you log in, connect accounts, upload, schedule. There is nothing to install and no code to write. If you do happen to want programmatic access, the same functionality is exposed through the social media API on every plan, free tier included, but you can ignore it entirely.
