Blotato schedules posts and makes AI carousels and short videos, and it connects to Claude, ChatGPT, n8n and Make. AI use is metered in monthly credits, and the trial leaves out the API and MCP server. If you want a plain scheduler with no credits to count, it's the wrong shape. - **Value for money: C.** $29 a month billed monthly, which is the category middle. Creator is $97 and Agency $499. - **Free plan and trial: D.** 7-day free trial on every plan, without the API and MCP server; the listing doesn't say whether it needs a card. No free plan. - **Features: C.** Scheduling, AI video and image making, comments and DM automation, and a posting API. Analytics come from eight platforms and don't include LinkedIn. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Accounts to connect and credits to budget. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with an API and links to Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, Make and Cursor. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 34 of the 49 other social media schedulers grade higher. It costs $348 a year. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
