About Publer
Publer is a social media scheduler from a small team that has grown largely on word of mouth thanks to low pricing and broad network support. Beyond the usual Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube and X, it publishes to Google Business Profile, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram and even WordPress, which few competitors cover. Features include a visual calendar, bulk scheduling from CSV, post recycling, RSS feeds, an AI assistant, a link-in-bio page, watermarking and analytics. A free plan lets one user schedule a limited number of posts across a few accounts, and paid Professional and Business plans are priced per social account, so they stay cheap for small setups. The interface is busy in places and the inbox and team workflows are lighter than in premium suites. X support depends on the paid plan because of X's API costs. It runs in the browser, with iOS and Android apps and a browser extension.
Best for: Budget-conscious individuals and small teams posting to many different networks.
