Postel

Postel writes your posts in your voice and schedules them to X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, X included.

  • Writes in your voice. It learns from your own posts and notes, so drafts read like you wrote them, not like a template.
  • Finds what's going viral in your niche. It shows the posts doing best for real creators in your niche, then writes your take on one in your voice.
  • One calendar for X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. Write once, get a version for each network, and schedule them all from the same place.
  • Writes next week for you. On Pro and up, Plan next week fills your free slots with drafts you schedule, edit or skip.
  • $1 for 7 days. Then from $29 a month. Cancel anytime.

Prices are in US dollars before tax. Yearly billing is 25% off ("3 months free"), billed once a year and renewed automatically. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

A social set is one profile on each network Later supports: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, YouTube, Threads and Snapchat. Starter's one set means one account per network.

Later add-ons

Growth and Scale can buy more; Starter can't.

Add-onBilled monthlyBilled yearly
Extra social set$15/month$11.25/month
Extra user$5/month$3.75/month
100 more AI credits a month$5/month$3.75/month

What each Later plan includes

  • Starter, $25 a month ($18.75 yearly): 1 social set, 1 user, 30 posts per profile a month, 5 AI credits, 3 months of analytics, best time to post for Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and Link in Bio.
  • Growth, $50 a month ($37.50 yearly): 2 social sets, 2 users, 180 posts per profile, 50 AI credits, 1 year of analytics, approvals, the social inbox and UGC collection.
  • Scale, $110 a month ($82.50 yearly): 6 social sets, 4 users, unlimited posts, 100 AI credits, 2 years of analytics, competitive benchmarking, Meta ads analytics, brand mentions and priority support.

Costs that are easy to miss

  • Posts count when you schedule them. Starter's 30 posts per profile a month includes Reels, Stories and carousels, and a post counts when it's scheduled, not when it goes out. Posting twice a day on one account needs Growth.
  • Starter can't grow. Extra social sets, users and AI credits are only sold on Growth and Scale.
  • AI is thin on Starter. 5 AI credits a month; 100 more cost $5 a month on Growth and Scale.
  • No X, Bluesky or Mastodon. Later removed X on August 28, 2025, and Bluesky and Mastodon aren't among its networks.
  • Analytics history depends on the plan. 3 months on Starter, 1 year on Growth, 2 years on Scale.

Later facts from its pricing page and help center, checked on November 12, 2026.

Later is built for brands and creators planning visual posts.

TikTok posts go out as Only me from a private account until TikTok finishes reviewing Postel. Pro is $49/month ($29/month billed yearly), with 3 seats, more AI credits and next week's posts written for you to approve. See Postel pricing.

Postel price: $1 for 7 days, then from $29 a month. Cancel anytime.

Is Later worth it?

Later is worth it for a brand whose posting lives on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest and Snapchat, especially one that wants Link in Bio and UGC collection.

If you post on X, Later dropped it. If the words are the hard part, Later's 5 AI credits a month on Starter won't write your week. Postel does both: it covers X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, and writes posts that sound like you.

Write and schedule posts in your own voice

Postel learns how you write, drafts posts for X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok from your notes and links, and posts them on schedule.
