Which one is for you

Pick Postpone if

  • Fits if you want an inbox and approvals on a mid-priced plan
  • Works for a small team of 2 users on Creator

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you stay free, as 5 scheduled posts a month is all you get
  • Skip it if you tweet a lot, as Starter allows 100 a month
  • Not for you if you need the inbox or approvals on Starter
  • Watch out: extra accounts cost $6 each a month, and yearly plan changes go through support

Pick Publer if

  • Fits if you post to less common places like Telegram, Mastodon or WordPress
  • Works for one or two accounts, at $4 to $8 an account a month billed yearly

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you answer lots of comments and DMs, as no inbox is listed
  • Tight if you're free: no X, 10 queued posts per account and 24 hours of post history
  • Pricey if your team keeps growing, because every account and member adds to the bill
  • Watch out: analytics, approvals and recycling need Business, and the API goes only to eligible customers
  • Watch out: paid plans cap daily posting, and only Enterprise lifts the cap

Worth knowing

Postpone

  • Tweets are counted separately from other posts and capped by plan, from 100 a month on Starter.
  • Extra social accounts cost $6 each a month on top of the plan's account limit.
  • The unified inbox, approvals and bulk import are not on Starter.
  • Plan changes on yearly billing go through support rather than the app.

Publer

  • The Free plan leaves out X, holds 10 scheduled posts per account at a time and keeps published posts for 24 hours.
  • Listed prices are for a single social account; each added account and team member raises the total, with every tenth one free.
  • Analytics, best times, competitor analysis, recycling, approvals and unlimited AI need Business; the API goes only to eligible Business and Enterprise customers.
  • Paid plans schedule without limit but cap daily posting to prevent spam; only Enterprise lifts Publer's daily cap.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
