SchedPilot
Publer Alternative: API Access on Every Plan, From $21/Month
Start free → API access on every plan, including the cheapest one.
SchedPilot includes API access on all four plans starting at $21/month. Publer lists “Access to Publer API” as a plan feature you upgrade into — so if you picked Publer and then discovered the API sits above your tier, this is the swap.
What you pay
| SchedPilot plan | Annual | Accounts | API |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | $21/mo | 5 | Included |
| Gold | $35/mo | 20 | Included |
| Platinum | $49/mo | 40 | Included |
| Enterprise | $79/mo | 100 | Included |

And from an AI agent
Install schedpilot-mcp, set SCHEDPILOT_TOKEN, and Claude or any MCP-compatible agent gets six tools directly: list accounts, create posts, list and delete posts, upload media, pull analytics. Your agent drafts and schedules without you writing a client.
Where Publer wins
Publer has a wider feature surface — link-in-bio, RSS automation, a visual feed planner and content recycling — none of which we have. If you want the biggest toolbox for humans working in a dashboard, Publer is the stronger product and we would rather you know that up front.
SchedPilot publishes to X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, and Pinterest. If your workflow depends on Google Business Profile or Mastodon, we are not there yet.
Pick SchedPilot if
You are a developer or founder who wants publishing as an API primitive rather than a dashboard feature, you are wiring an AI agent to real social accounts, or you are an agency that needs 20–100 accounts without the API being an upsell. Used by 210+ creators and entrepreneurs, with a seven-day free trial and no charge during the trial.
