PostNext

PostNext is a social media planning tool for drafting, scheduling, and publishing content across X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and Bluesky. Its calendar helps organize upcoming posts, shift them to other dates, and schedule with best-time suggestions. Users can prepare videos, photos, text updates, image carousels, and reels for scheduled or instant posting. AI tools can create captions, hashtags, ideas, and images, and provide fact-checking; text and prompts are processed by OpenAI and Google Gemini. Team workspaces offer role-based access, draft review, and shared libraries. Separate brand profiles keep each brand’s voice, assets, and channel logins apart. The service is available on web, Android, iOS, API, and extension, including a Chrome extension for sharing pages, images, or selected text into drafts. The free plan permits one connected account, one user, and 10 scheduled posts per month. Paid options include $11 a month for Premium, $39 a month for Business, and $4 a month per Teams user, with five seats minimum.

PostNext combines multichannel scheduling, content drafting, and team review in one service. Check the account and post limits on the free plan, or compare them with the paid plan details before choosing.

PostNext suits individuals and teams planning content for multiple social channels. Separate brand profiles and shared review tools may help people managing several brands.

PostNext is a social publishing service for people who need to draft, schedule, and manage content across several channels. It suits solo publishers who want a visual calendar and teams that need brand separation and review workflows. Its breadth is a strength, but the free plan’s single account and 10-post monthly cap make it better for trying the workflow than running a full schedule.

Overview

PostNext can schedule or instantly publish to X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and Bluesky. Its calendar supports advance planning, moving posts between dates, and best-time suggestions. Users can prepare videos, photos, text updates, carousels, and reels, so the service covers more than text-only queues.

Publishing uses platform official APIs and OAuth 2.0; PostNext says it does not store social account passwords. Its privacy policy says the service is hosted on Amazon Web Services and personal data sent over the internet is protected with SSL/TLS. Social account OAuth tokens are encrypted in Azure Key Vault. Optional MCP assistant access requires explicit OAuth authorization and can be revoked.

Key features

AI tools generate captions, hashtags, post ideas, and images, and offer AI-powered fact-checking. Text and prompts are sent to OpenAI and Google Gemini for processing, a material consideration for anyone drafting sensitive content. Caption templates, bulk generation, and brand voice controls add structure, while monthly AI credits on paid plans limit how much generation a team can rely on.

Team workspaces provide role-based access, draft review, and shared content libraries. Brand profiles keep each brand’s voice, assets, and channel logins separate, which is useful for agencies or publishers juggling identities. The Chrome extension can send a page, image, or selected text to PostNext, start an AI draft, schedule a post, or save a draft. Integrations include MCP AI assistants, WordPress, and API keys.

PostNext says fair use permits up to 1,000 scheduled posts per connected account. That ceiling is generous for ordinary publishing, though the account and plan quotas still matter. Optional on-device biometric authentication is offered in the iOS and Android apps.

Pricing

PostNext Free costs nothing and includes one connected account, one user, 10 scheduled posts per month, unlimited ideas, 10 MB of storage, and limited customer support. It is a sensible way to evaluate the calendar, but the post and account caps are restrictive for anyone maintaining several active channels.

PostNext Premium is $11 a month (billed €11 / month; annual plan saves €96). It raises the allowance to 15 connected accounts for one user, unlimited scheduled posts, 10 GB of storage, and 150 AI credits per month. This is the clearest fit for a solo publisher with a broad channel roster. PostNext Business is $39 a month (billed €39 / month; annual plan saves €120), with 20 connected accounts for one user, unlimited posts, 50 GB, and 500 monthly AI credits. It adds capacity rather than seats, so it is not the choice for a multi-user workflow.

PostNext Teams costs $4 a month (billed €4 / user / month, from €20 / month), with a five-seat minimum; annual plans save €36 per user. It includes unlimited users, five connected accounts per user, unlimited posts, 10 GB per user, and 50 AI credits per user each month. The per-seat starting rate suits collaborative review, but the minimum commitment and lower per-user account and AI allowances should be weighed against actual team size. Enterprise is a custom solution with custom pricing; contact [email protected] for enterprise needs, volume discounts, or custom integrations. A 7-day trial is offered. Premium includes 24-hour email support, Business priority support within 24 hours, and Teams live chat plus email support within 12 hours.

Platforms

PostNext supports Android, iOS, web, an extension, and API access. The channel mix includes X (Twitter), Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and Bluesky.

Who it's for

PostNext is a strong fit for solo publishers who need one calendar for many channels, and for teams whose work benefits from shared drafts, role-based access, and brand-specific profiles. It is less compelling for a low-volume user who only needs occasional captions: the free schedule cap is small, and paid AI credits are finite.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Scheduling and instant publishing span seven social channels and multiple formats, including reels and carousels.
• Pros: Brand profiles, review, shared libraries, and role-based access support organized collaborative publishing.
• Pros: OAuth-based publishing and encrypted social tokens provide specific account-security safeguards.
• Cons: Free users get only one connected account and 10 scheduled posts per month, limiting ongoing use.
• Cons: AI prompts and text go to OpenAI and Google Gemini, which may rule out sensitive drafting.
• Cons: Teams requires at least five seats, while Business remains a one-user plan.

Alternatives

For a lighter free option, Optimate allows three connected accounts and five scheduled posts at a time on its free plan, with five AI text generations; its Pro plan is £29 a month. InMedia is a paid alternative with a Starter plan at $8.90 a month, 75 generations per month, one Brand Kit, templates and history, and PNG/JPG export; it may suit users focused on generating and exporting branded assets. Social9 offers a web-only free plan with one project, 20 credits per month (about five post generations), limited export, and community support, making it an option for occasional AI post generation rather than broad channel scheduling.

AI Auto Social is another freemium web option. MediaPostAI offers a free web plan with unlimited AI posts per day for one business, two social pages, and 500 MB storage, which may better suit users prioritizing high-volume caption generation. Predis.ai is a paid alternative with a trial and a Core plan at $24 a month, including 1,300 monthly credits, one brand, and no auto posting; it fits a reader who values its credit allowance over built-in auto publishing. ContentStudio starts at $29 a month for five social accounts, one workspace, one user, and unlimited monthly posts, a straightforward paid option for that account scale. Simplified has a free web, iOS, and Android plan with 1GB storage, making it an alternative for someone seeking a free tier with more storage than PostNext Free.

The AI Social Media Caption Generators and AI Content Repurposing Tools lists are useful starting points for comparing tools in those narrower categories.

Verdict

Choose PostNext if you want a single service for cross-channel scheduling, varied post formats, and structured team review, especially when separate brand profiles matter. Its main advantage is the combination of publishing breadth and collaborative controls; look elsewhere if you need generous free scheduling, a multi-seat Business tier, or do not want AI prompts processed by external models.
