About
Publer is a budget social media management tool used by 270,000+ freelancers, entrepreneurs, and agencies (provider-claimed). Its pricing model is unusual: a per-channel build-up starting from a $5/month base that includes the first channel and user, then about $4 per additional social account and $2 per extra team member, with unlimited workspaces. The Business tier (~$10/month base) adds unlimited AI prompts, analytics insights and reports, best-times-to-post, competitor analysis, hashtag analytics, spintax-powered post recycling, approval workflows, and API access. Free plan covers 3 accounts and 10 scheduled posts per account. Supported networks span Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, YouTube, WordPress, Telegram, Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon, with RSS automations, Twitter thread scheduling, Instagram feed preview, link-in-bio, watermarks, and signatures. It rates ~4.8/5 on Capterra per provider-published comparison pages. Pricing figures and network coverage are provider-published; user counts and ratings are provider-claimed and should be confirmed against independent review sites.
