Publer Alternative: API Access on Every Plan, From $21/Month

SchedPilot offers API access on all four plans starting at $21/month, positioning itself as a developer-friendly alternative to Publer, which reserves API access for higher tiers. The platform supports X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and Threads, and includes an MCP-compatible AI agent tool for scheduling posts. SchedPilot is used by 200+ creators and marketers, with a seven-day free trial.

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

Monthly billing is $29 / $39 / $59 / $99. Gold and above include unlimited posts and AI generation credits.

Post from code, not just the calendar #

curl -X POST https://api.schedpilot.com/developers/v1/post \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $SCHEDPILOT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Scheduled straight from our backend.",
    "date": "2026-08-11",
    "time": "09:30",
    "accounts": [{"id": 1234, "type": "linkedin"}]
  }'

Full reference at docs.schedpilot.com. Rate limits are 60 read and 30 write requests per hour, per user, and we publish them rather than making you discover them.

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 browser extension, a visual feed planner, recycling, and more networks than we support. 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, Bluesky, and Threads. If your workflow depends on Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, or Google Business Profile, 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 200+ creators and marketers, with a seven-day free trial and no charge during the trial.
