# PostDaily > PostDaily is a social media scheduling platform that helps teams plan content, fill a posting queue, and publish reliably across major networks. PostDaily focuses on reliability over breadth: connect channels, draft with an AI composer, schedule at best times, preview platform-specific output, and publish with retries and failure tracking. ## Key pages - [Home](https://www.postdaily.app/): What PostDaily is, who it is for, and how the queue works. - [Features](https://www.postdaily.app/features): The calendar, AI composer, queue, analytics and approvals. - [Pricing](https://www.postdaily.app/pricing): Plans, prices, limits and what each tier includes. - [Integrations](https://www.postdaily.app/integrations): Every network, and whether it is live today. - [AI agents (MCP)](https://www.postdaily.app/ai-agents): Schedule and publish posts from any AI agent that supports MCP (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and more) through PostDaily's MCP server. - [Help center](https://www.postdaily.app/help): Guides for connecting channels, scheduling and billing. - [About](https://www.postdaily.app/about): The team behind PostDaily. - [Contact](https://www.postdaily.app/contact): How to reach support. - [Creator Partner Program](https://www.postdaily.app/partners): Earn recurring commission for referring customers; apply from this page. ## Scheduling by network One page per live network: what PostDaily can publish there, the options it sets, and the network's own limits and caveats. - [Instagram scheduler](https://www.postdaily.app/instagram-scheduler): Posts, Reels, Stories and photo carousels; first comments, collaborators, people tags and alt text.

Competitor prices come from the competitor's own pricing page, dated on the page. - [All comparisons](https://www.postdaily.app/alternatives): Every comparison, with who each tool suits best. - [Buffer pricing, worked out](https://www.postdaily.app/blog/buffer-pricing): Buffer's per-channel rates ($6 Essentials, $12 Team for channels 1–10, then $4, $3 and $1–2), with costs at 3, 10 and 25 channels from its own calculator. - [Hootsuite pricing, and the free plan question](https://www.postdaily.app/blog/hootsuite-pricing): no free plan; $99, $199 and $399 per user a month (annual) for Standard, Professional and Advanced, with costs at 3, 10 and 25 accounts. - [PostDaily vs Buffer](https://www.postdaily.app/alternatives/buffer): Buffer bills per channel and has the more generous free plan; PostDaily includes a channel allowance per plan. - [PostDaily vs Hootsuite](https://www.postdaily.app/alternatives/hootsuite): Hootsuite adds listening, ads and an inbox, priced per user with no free plan; PostDaily is publishing-only, with seats included. - [PostDaily vs Sprout Social](https://www.postdaily.app/alternatives/sprout-social): Sprout is a full suite (Smart Inbox, listening, CRM integrations) billed per seat, with five profiles on its cheaper plans; PostDaily includes seats and has no-login client approval on Pro. - [PostDaily vs Planable](https://www.postdaily.app/alternatives/planable): Planable leads on collaborative review with unlimited users, but clients approve from inside a workspace and it has no Bluesky or Mastodon; PostDaily's review link needs no account. - [PostDaily vs Later](https://www.postdaily.app/alternatives/later): Later leads on Instagram visual planning and link in bio, and has a free plan; it does not publish to X, Bluesky or Mastodon, sells profiles in one-per-network social sets, and schedules first comments on Instagram only. - [PostDaily vs Metricool](https://www.postdaily.app/alternatives/metricool): Metricool leads on analytics (competitors, ads, unlimited history) and is cheap for one person with several brands; its Starter plan has no team members, X costs $10 a month per account, and it does not publish to Mastodon. - [PostDaily vs Publer](https://www.postdaily.app/alternatives/publer): Publer covers more networks for less money and has many extras; client approval needs its Business plan and a workspace account, and its Facebook Groups and profiles post by phone reminder. - [PostDaily vs SocialBee](https://www.postdaily.app/alternatives/socialbee): SocialBee recycles evergreen posts by category and offers done-for-you services; it has no free plan and only sends reminders for Mastodon. - [PostDaily vs Meta Business Suite](https://www.postdaily.app/alternatives/meta-business-suite): Business Suite is free, native and the only way to schedule Facebook Group posts; if you post only to Facebook and Instagram, keep it. ## Client approvals - [Client approval without logins](https://www.postdaily.app/client-approvals): A no-login review link from the Pro plan; clients approve or request changes in the browser, held posts do not publish, and editing an approved post sends it back for review. Includes a dated comparison of approval in 9 other schedulers (Sprout Social, Later and Metricool also allow no-login review). ## AI agents (MCP server) PostDaily runs a remote MCP server, so any AI app or agent that supports MCP can draft, schedule and publish posts, manage the queue and read analytics in a PostDaily account. It is included on every plan, Free too, within that plan's limits. - [Schedule posts from ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor](https://www.postdaily.app/ai-agents): What an AI app can do in PostDaily, the access levels (full, drafts only, read only), and the safeguards: it must get the person's go-ahead in the chat before publishing immediately, and plan limits, network rules and client approval apply as in the app. - [Connect Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps](https://www.postdaily.app/help/connect-ai-apps): Setup steps for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other MCP apps, API keys for n8n, Make and scripts, and how to disconnect. - Server URL for apps that sign in with OAuth: https://mcp.postdaily.app/mcp. Apps that use an API key connect to https://mcp.postdaily.app/key/mcp instead. - [PostDaily in Claude's connector directory](https://claude.ai/directory/connectors/postdaily): The published Claude connector. ## Free tools No account required; each runs in the visitor's browser against public APIs. - [2027 social media content calendar](https://www.postdaily.app/tools/content-calendar-2027): Every 2027 date worth planning a post around (movable dates computed, e.g. Easter 28 March, US Thanksgiving 25 November), with a post idea each, as a CSV in PostDaily's bulk-import columns. - [Character counter](https://www.postdaily.app/tools/character-counter): Counts a draft for every live network the way that network counts it (X weights links as 23 and emoji as 2, Bluesky counts graphemes under a 3,000-byte ceiling, Mastodon counts links as 23, YouTube descriptions count UTF-8 bytes), using the same code PostDaily's composer runs; warns past Instagram's 5-hashtag cap. - [Bulk CSV checker](https://www.postdaily.app/tools/bulk-csv-checker): Checks a bulk-scheduling CSV in the browser with the same parser PostDaily's import uses — dates and timezone, https image links, each network's character limit, and the image requirement on Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest — and gives a fix for every problem row. - [All free tools](https://www.postdaily.app/tools): Index of the tools, with a side-by-side table of the per-post character limit each network enforces and what it counts as one character. - [Mastodon server limit checker](https://www.postdaily.app/tools/mastodon-limits): Reads any Mastodon-compatible server's own published limits — character limit, what a link costs, media count, alt-text and file-size caps — and counts a draft against them. Every server sets its own limits, so the widely-quoted 500 characters is wrong for many of them. - [Bluesky best time to post](https://www.postdaily.app/tools/bluesky-best-time): Analyses one account's own public posts to find which hours and days beat its median post, and says when there is not enough data to tell. - [Mastodon posting-time analyser](https://www.postdaily.app/tools/mastodon-best-time): Analyses one Mastodon account's own public posts, bucketed by hour and weekday in the visitor's timezone, and reports which slots beat that account's median post — with a bootstrapped confidence interval, so it says when there is not enough data rather than guessing. - [Video format checker](https://www.postdaily.app/tools/video-checker): Reads a video file's real container, codec, resolution and duration in the visitor's browser — the file is never uploaded — and reports which social networks will accept it, distinguishing codec lists verified by real publish tests from those taken only from documentation. - [Thread maker and splitter](https://www.postdaily.app/tools/thread-splitter): Splits a long draft into numbered, publish-ready thread segments for Bluesky, Mastodon, X or Threads, packing each one against that network's real counting rule — weighted links and CJK on X, grapheme clusters plus a byte ceiling on Bluesky — rather than by string length. - [Bluesky engagement rate calculator](https://www.postdaily.app/tools/bluesky-engagement-rate): Computes an account's engagement rate from its own recent public posts — likes, reposts and replies over followers — and reports the median post rather than the mean, so a single post that travelled cannot flatter the number. Also shows the spread and what kind of engagement the account gets. ## Legal - [Privacy Policy](https://www.postdaily.app/privacy): What data PostDaily collects and why. - [Terms of Service](https://www.postdaily.app/terms): The agreement covering use of the product. - [Cookie Policy](https://www.postdaily.app/cookie-policy): Cookies and similar technologies in use. - [GDPR & Data Protection](https://www.postdaily.app/gdpr): Rights, lawful bases and subprocessors. - [Data Deletion](https://www.postdaily.app/data-deletion): How to delete an account and its data. - [Creator Partner Terms](https://www.postdaily.app/partners/terms): Terms for the Creator Partner Program — referrals, commission, payouts. ## Key facts - Product: social media post scheduling SaaS. - Live networks today: Bluesky, Mastodon, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest. - In review: LinkedIn works today while LinkedIn reviews PostDaily's access, so it runs under lower limits until that is approved. - Free plan available; annual plans include a 7-day free trial (monthly plans are billed immediately). - Publishing is built for reliability, with automatic retries and per-channel failure tracking. ## Social profiles These are PostDaily's official accounts; the same list is published as `sameAs` in the site's Organization structured data. - [X](https://x.com/PostDailyHQ): @PostDailyHQ - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/136056073): PostDaily - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/PostDailyHQ): PostDailyHQ - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@PostDailyHQ): @PostDailyHQ - [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@postdailyhq): @postdailyhq ## Optional - [Sitemap](https://www.postdaily.app/sitemap.xml): Every indexable page on the site.
