Looking for a free way to schedule short-form posts? Compare what free plans actually include — and how spantly’s free tier works honestly.

Most “free schedulers” look generous until you hit the fine print: one platform, watermarked posts, or a trial that demands a card. Creators need something simpler — a real free plan with honest limits.

spantly’s Free plan includes 1 connected social account and 5 posts per month. No card to start. When you outgrow it, Creator, Growth, and Pro unlock more accounts on the same networks.

What to look for in a free scheduler

Real connect and publish — not a sandbox that pretends your post went live.

Per-platform captions so TikTok, Shorts, and Reels are not forced into one generic caption.

A calendar you can actually read (month, week, list).

Clear upgrade path based on connected accounts, not surprise per-network fees.

How spantly stays honest

We only show real publish results per account. If a network fails, you see it and can retry. Analytics stay operational (published, scheduled, success rate) — never invented reach numbers.

Official OAuth (or a Bluesky app password) means you never hand over your main social login password.

When to upgrade

Upgrade when you need more than one connected account or more than five posts a month. Creator starts at €29/month with 15 accounts. Yearly plans include a 7-day trial and a 7-day money-back window after the first charge; monthly plans do not include money-back.
