Best for finding and queueing posts to share
Post Planner finds content to share and queues it across ten networks, from a free plan up. X and Pinterest publishing needs Growth at $39 a month, and the queues are capped at 30 posts on Free and 150 on Starter.
Who Post Planner is for
- Fits if you want ideas to share as well as a scheduler
- Works for one person with up to 3 accounts
Who Post Planner is not for
- Not for you if you publish to X or Pinterest on a cheap plan, as that needs Growth at $39 a month
- Tight if you queue lots of posts, as Free holds 30 and Starter 150
- Skip it if you want old content, since anything over 30 days needs Growth or higher
- Pricey if you manage many accounts: Agency tiers above 50 accounts cost $219 and $419 a month
Why Post Planner gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

Keep Post Planner, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Post Planner you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 65 of the 90 other social media schedulers we grade. It costs $108 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Facebook, Instagram and Google Business Profile among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Post Planner’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
