Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 19 of the 90 other social media schedulers we grade
SmarterQueue schedules posts to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Threads and Google Business Profile. Posts are filed into content categories, and evergreen ones can be recycled on a set schedule. It also imports RSS feeds, writes captions with AI and reports analytics.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SmarterQueue, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You connect each profile and build your categories first, so there's a bit of setup before it earns its keep.
- 1
Best for a post queue sorted into content categories
SmarterQueue files your posts into categories and recycles the evergreen ones on a schedule, across nine networks.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $26.78 a month
As its pricing page puts it: £19.99 per month for 4 profiles, billed annually.

- 5
Content categories
Posts are sorted into categories, and a posting plan decides which category goes out in each time slot.
- 6
Evergreen recycling
Evergreen posts go back into the queue and repeat on a schedule; each one counts once toward the queued-post limit.
- 7
RSS auto-importers
Pull posts from RSS feeds into the queue or into drafts for review. Plans cap how many importers you can run.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 19 of 90

The report card
Best for a post queue sorted into content categories
SmarterQueue files your posts into categories and recycles the evergreen ones on a schedule, across nine networks. The trial is 14 days with no card, but there's no free plan after it, extra profiles and users cost more, and X posts eat monthly credits (a post with a link costs 15).
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | £19.99 a month on yearly billing for 4 profiles and one user, roughly $26, which sits near the category middle of $24.99. Extra profiles and users are add-ons. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan. A 14-day trial gives full access without a card, which is the card-free kind of trial. |
| Features | C | Categories, recycling, RSS importers, an AI caption writer, inbox and analytics. The listing shows limits though: X posts run on monthly credits, and each plan allows a fixed number of posts a day per profile. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You connect each profile and build your categories first, so there's a bit of setup before it earns its keep. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no iOS or Android app mentioned. It connects to the networks it posts to and Bitly, with no wider integration list. |
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 SmarterQueue is for
- Fits if you have a pile of evergreen posts you want to cycle through on a schedule
- Works for solo marketers or small teams happy with one to a few seats
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want a free plan, because after the 14-day trial it's paid only
- Tight if you post to X with links: 15 credits a post
- Pricey if you need more than 4 profiles or extra users, which are paid add-ons
- Watch out: prices were read in pounds, and there's no phone app
Good to know
Good for
- Solo creators and bloggers who want a library of posts that repeats
- Small businesses publishing a regular mix of content types
- Freelancers who keep each client in a separate workspace
Worth knowing
- Prices were read in pounds sterling, the page's default here, with USD only as a switch we could not read; confirm the dollar figure.
- Each plan includes one or a few users; extra users and profiles are paid add-ons priced on the page's customizer.
- X (Twitter) posting uses monthly credits: a text post costs 1 credit and a post with a link costs 15.
- No iOS or Android app is mentioned on the pages we read; it is a web tool.

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.
Your call
You could make the core of SmarterQueue for yourself: calendar, rSS reader, reports and templates.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $321.41 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar, rSS reader, reports and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Bitly, Facebook and Instagram among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. SmarterQueue’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.
