Schedchie is the best-value Bluesky scheduler in 2026: €7.99 a month covers unlimited Bluesky accounts and unlimited posts, alongside nine other platforms. And Bluesky just became a real video platform — timing matters.
What changed on August 25, 2026
Bluesky announced on its official account that you can now "post videos up to 10 minutes long, and they'll upload 2–3x faster" — on top of an earlier increase in the maximum file size to 300 MB. The previous ceiling was 3 minutes. Ten-minute videos are tutorials, product demos, and vlogs, not clips. Bluesky is now a place where a content calendar built around video makes sense.
Two practical details. First, Bluesky requires a verified email on the account before it accepts video uploads — several schedulers document failed video posts that trace back to exactly this. Second, the new numbers come from Bluesky's announcement of 25 August 2026, not its developer documentation; the docs currently state no numeric limits at all.
Two days later, Bluesky also added an account-level opt-out from the algorithmic Discover feed. Both moves point the same direction: the platform is maturing, and brands treating it as a first-class channel in 2026 are early rather than late.
Which schedulers support Bluesky in 2026
Support is uneven, and the gaps are documented by the vendors themselves. Later's own help center lists Bluesky by name among its unsupported platforms. SocialBee publishes text and images to Bluesky but states in its own help center that video posts are not included. Planable does not list Bluesky among its supported platforms at all. Hootsuite supports Bluesky on paid plans only. Here is what the field looks like at a realistic footprint of 5 and 10 social accounts:
| Scheduler | Bluesky publishing | Bluesky video | 5 accounts | 10 accounts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Schedchie | Yes | Yes — 10 min / 200 MB | €7.99/mo | €7.99/mo |
| Buffer | Yes | Yes | $25/mo | $50/mo |
| Metricool | Yes | Yes | €20/mo (5 brands) | €37/mo (10 brands) |
| Publer | Yes | Yes | ≈€17/mo | ≈€31/mo |
| SocialPilot | Yes | Yes | $20/mo | $40/mo |
| Pallyy | Yes | Not documented | $25/mo (Pro) | $25/mo (11-account cap) |
| SocialBee | Yes | No — per its own help center | $29/mo | $49/mo |
| Hootsuite | Paid plans only | Not documented | $99/user/mo | $99/user/mo (Standard, 10 accounts) |
| Later | No — listed as unsupported | — | — | — |
Prices read on each vendor's own pricing page on 29 August 2026; monthly billing unless noted. Buffer is $5 per channel billed yearly ($6 month-to-month) — $25/$50 reflects the yearly rate. Hootsuite displays annual-billing rates. Publer figures are in-browser calculator totals for its Professional plan, read 22 August 2026. Bluesky support statements come from each vendor's own product or help pages, checked 29 August 2026.
The structural difference is the meter. Every per-channel or per-brand price above grows when Bluesky is added to an existing account set; Schedchie's flat €7.99 does not move. The full 25-vendor market table lives in our social media scheduler pricing index, and the Schedchie vs Buffer comparison walks the per-channel math in detail.
What Schedchie publishes to Bluesky
Bluesky on Schedchie is not a text-only checkbox. Link cards are built automatically from a pasted URL — title, description, and thumbnail. @-handles become real, clickable mentions. Posts carry up to four images with alt text, and images over Bluesky's 1 MB limit are compressed automatically instead of rejected. Video publishes at up to 10 minutes and 200 MB per file, with the aspect ratio read and embedded so nothing renders stretched — Bluesky raised its limits in August 2026, and Schedchie follows them. No other scheduler documents more Bluesky video: as of 29 August 2026, Publer’s own help center states 100 MB and 3 minutes, Vista Social 100 MB and 180 seconds, SocialPilot 50 MB and 3 minutes, and Metricool 50 MB and 60 seconds. Language tags are a field on every post, and the composer counts against Bluesky's 300-character limit as you type.
Connections also survive quiet periods: a daily job refreshes each Bluesky session before it can lapse, so an account you post to twice a month stays connected. Analytics cover followers, post count, and likes, reposts, replies, and quotes on recent posts, with daily snapshots for trends.
Volume workflows carry over too. CSV bulk import fills a month of Bluesky posts in one upload, approval workflows cover teams and clients, and the MCP server means you can schedule Bluesky posts from ChatGPT or Claude if that is how you draft.
Video invites volume — and volume is what caps tax
A platform that rewards regular video posting punishes plans with post caps. Pallyy's $15 Starter allows 20 posts a month; Metricool's free plan allows 20; Buffer's paid plans carry a 5,000-posts-per-channel fair-use cap. Schedchie's €7.99 plan is the only one in our 25-vendor census that leaves both accounts and posts uncapped, so a daily Bluesky video habit costs exactly what a weekly one does.
One dated note: Bulkly, one of the few bulk schedulers that connected Bluesky, shuts down on 31 August 2026 — its queues stop publishing and connections are revoked. If you came to Bluesky through it, the Bulkly alternatives guide covers moving a queue before the deadline. And if long-form video is your format beyond Bluesky, YouTube's monetization requirements double in February 2027 — the YouTube schedulers guide covers that clock.
