Bottom line
Hypefury is the pick for creators repurposing text into visual content, and it adds evergreen recycling and a posting queue that Later leaves out. Later fits Instagram-first creators and brands better, and it's the only one of the two with a free scheduling plan.
A verified price comparison requires the same billing term, currency and eligible workload. See each pricing section for the published terms. Hypefury brings evergreen recycling that Later skips, while Later has a social inbox Hypefury doesn't.

- Extra social sets $15/mo each ($11.25 on annual)
- Priced per social set. A social set is one profile on each of the eight networks Later supports, so the headline price covers a whole brand across networks rather than a single channel.
- Starter is capped at one social set and one user with no add-ons, so its column in the cost table stays flat. Only Growth and Scale let you add social sets, at $15 each per month ($11.25 on annual).
- Extra users are $5 a month each on Growth and Scale ($3.75 on annual). Growth's two included sets and Scale's six converge in price once you pass six sets, since both add extra sets at the same $15 rate; above that you pay Scale only for its deeper features.
- Annual billing gives three months free (about 25% off): Starter $18.75 vs $25, Growth $37.50 vs $50, Scale $82.50 vs $110 per month.
- Free is documented separately with limited scheduling and a two-week past/future calendar window. The reviewed plan guide does not state its numerical post allowance.
- The live USD pricing page shows 25% off annual billing (three months free). The help guide mentions four months free, so the live priced tariff is used here. Legacy and promotional plan inclusions may differ.
- Starter AI add-ons are inconsistent across official pages: the priced tariff says unavailable while the help guide says they may be available. Check the subscription screen for an existing account.
What it really costs
Monthly cost by social set count. Per-unit tiers grow with usage; flat tiers keep their whole-plan price within the published allowance, with the 1-social set row marked as a realistic setup.
| social sets | Starter | Growth | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1Typical | $25/mo | $50/mo | $110/mo |
| 3 | Exceeds plan capacity | $65/mo | $110/mo |
| 5 | Exceeds plan capacity | $95/mo | $110/mo |
| 10 | Exceeds plan capacity | $170/mo | $170/mo |

| 50 | Exceeds plan capacity | $770/mo | $770/mo |
Monthly billing. Volume discounts lower the per-social set rate at higher counts. Annual billing takes about 3 months off.
