Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 65 of the 90 other social media schedulers we grade
Post Planner schedules posts to ten networks and pairs the scheduler with a stream of popular content to curate from. It offers post buckets, recycling, bulk upload and AI image generation. A free plan exists, and paid plans scale by accounts, users and queue size.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Post Planner, taken from its own pages and our grades.
A web app where you build queues and pick sources, no store rating on record.

1 social account, 1 user, 30 scheduled posts and 3 AI images a month.
- 4

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Starter is $9 a month on yearly billing for 3 accounts, inside the cheaper quarter, which tops out at $14. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan with 1 account, 30 queued posts and 12 posts a day, so you hit the cap quickly. |
| Features | C | Content discovery, scheduling, recycling and AI images. X and Pinterest need Growth and older content needs a paid plan. |
| Ease of use | C | A web app where you build queues and pick sources, no store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with ten networks. No desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
