How we test schedulers
The method behind the comparison, and why you can trust the ranking.
We pay for the tools we review. Every scheduler covered here gets a real account on a paid plan where one exists, connected to real social profiles, and used for long enough to find the parts that only show up in week two.
What we score
Each tool is judged on the same things, in the same order:
- Platform support. Which networks it actually publishes to, and whether that means true auto-publish or a phone notification you have to action yourself.
- Pricing. The real monthly cost at the tier most people land on, what counts as a "social set", and what the limits are.
- Scheduling. Bulk upload, queues, calendar, best-time suggestions, and how much fighting the interface you do to move a post.
- Who it suits. Solo creator, small business, or agency. Most tools are good for one of these and stretched for the others.
Last updated
Each tool's entry carries its own last-checked date, because pricing and platform support change often. If something here is out of date, it is a bug, and we want to fix it.
