The same calendar holds posts for your personal LinkedIn profile, and an MCP server lets you draft and schedule from Claude or ChatGPT.
Price: $29/month, or $19/month billed yearly, with a 7-day trial. Limits: no free plan, no analytics dashboard, LinkedIn company pages not supported.

Publer is a low-cost scheduler for 13 networks.

Metricool is an analytics-first social media tool for brands and agencies. It schedules X threads and reports on X, but X is a paid add-on at $10 a month per connected account and isn't available on the free plan. Its AI offers tone presets rather than learning your voice.
Price: Starter from $25/month for 5 brands, or $20/month billed yearly, plus the X add-on. Prices exclude VAT.

8. X Pro (formerly TweetDeck)
X documents scheduling posts in advance in X Pro, including for several accounts. X Pro is listed as "Only for Premium+ Tier", and Premium+ starts at $40/month on the web.
