Bulkly stops working on 31 August 2026. The cheapest unlimited Bulkly alternative is Schedchie at €7.99 a month flat — unlimited accounts, unlimited scheduled posts, and CSV bulk import across ten platforms.
Bulkly stops working on 31 August 2026
The announcement sits on Bulkly's own site, and as of 30 August nothing about it has changed: the app stops working on 31 August 2026. New signups are already closed. Queued content will not publish after that date, and Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn and Bluesky connections are permanently revoked. Unused prepaid time is refunded automatically — no request needed. There is no export tool — in the founder's own words, "Bulkly does not have a data export feature" — and he has said plainly that one will not be added in the time that remains. Bulkly's advice to its users is to copy their content library into a spreadsheet before the deadline.
That advice is the migration plan. A spreadsheet is one column-mapping away from a CSV file, and a CSV file is one upload away from a new queue in a scheduler with real bulk import.
What a Bulkly replacement has to cover
Bulkly connected to Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn and Bluesky, and its core workflow was volume: bulk CSV uploads and drip-fed queues that kept accounts posting every day. A replacement has to cover three things.
- The same platforms. Schedchie publishes to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Bluesky on the €7.99 plan, alongside TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Mastodon and Telegram. X (Twitter) posting is available as a €4.99 add-on covering 30 posts a month.
- Uncapped volume. A queue posting once a day across five accounts is 150 posts a month. Per-post caps and per-channel meters tax exactly that workload. Schedchie's €7.99 plan caps neither accounts nor scheduled posts — the only plan in our 25-tool pricing census where neither limit exists.
- Real bulk import. Schedchie's CSV import takes date, time, post text, titles and media in one file, and matches uploaded media files to rows by filename. The spreadsheet you copy out of Bulkly becomes next month's queue in one upload.
Bulkly alternatives compared on price
Every figure below comes from the vendor's own pricing page, checked 23 August 2026 and re-checked 30 August 2026 — no changes. Nobody migrating a Bulkly queue runs one account, so the comparison is what 5 and 10 connected accounts cost per month.
| Tool | 5 accounts | 10 accounts | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Schedchie | €7.99 | €7.99 | Flat price. No account cap, no post cap. |
| Buffer | $25 | $50 | $5 per channel billed yearly; paid plans carry a 5,000-posts-per-channel fair-use cap |
| SocialPilot | $20 | $40 | Essentials (5 accounts) / Standard (10 accounts), monthly billing |
| SocialBee | $29 | $49 | Bootstrap (5 profiles) / Accelerate (10 profiles), monthly billing |
| Metricool | €20 | €37 | Starter (5 brands) / 10-brand tier, monthly billing; the free plan is 20 posts a month on 1 brand |
| Hootsuite | $99 | $99 | Standard, per user, annual-billing display; includes 10 accounts |
Run the numbers over a year and the gap widens: ten channels on Buffer is $600 a year at the yearly rate, while Schedchie stays at €95.88. The full market table, refreshed monthly, lives in the pricing index; for a head-to-head, see Schedchie vs Buffer.
Moving a Bulkly queue in one afternoon
- If the deadline hasn't passed yet, copy your Bulkly library into a spreadsheet now — Bulkly itself recommends this, and after 31 August the content is gone. If it has passed, gather the source files your queue was built from instead.
- Shape the columns — date, time, text, media file name — and save as CSV.
- Import the CSV into Schedchie's bulk importer and upload the media alongside it; rows and files match by filename.
- Review the queue in the calendar and connect your accounts. On the Team plan (€24.99) posts can go through approval before anything publishes.
If the spreadsheet comes out messy, there is a shortcut: Schedchie runs a live MCP server, so you can hand the file to ChatGPT or Claude and have the assistant clean it up and schedule the queue for you.
Three timing notes. If your queue includes video, YouTube scheduling is covered — the format rules are in our guide to the best YouTube schedulers of 2026. Bulkly connected Bluesky, and Bluesky raised its video limit to 10 minutes in August 2026 — our guide to the best Bluesky schedulers covers who actually supports the new limits. And with Q4 volume getting committed in September, a queue rebuilt now is in place before the busy season — our Q4 scheduler guide covers what those months demand.
FAQ
Is Bulkly shutting down?
Yes. Bulkly's own site says the app stops working on 31 August 2026 — re-confirmed on 30 August with no date change and no export tool added. Queued posts will not publish after that date, social connections are revoked, and unused prepaid time is refunded automatically.
How do I get my content out of Bulkly before 31 August?
Bulkly has no export feature, so copy your library and queues into a spreadsheet manually before the shutdown. Saved as CSV, that spreadsheet imports straight into Schedchie's bulk importer, with media matched to rows by filename.
What happens if I didn't export my Bulkly content before the shutdown?
The library inside Bulkly is not recoverable — there was no export feature, and the app stops entirely on 31 August. Your social accounts are unaffected: the shutdown only revokes Bulkly's own access to them. Reconnect the accounts to a new scheduler and rebuild the queue from your source material — most recycled queues started life as spreadsheets or drafts outside Bulkly, and those files import straight into Schedchie's CSV bulk importer.
What is the cheapest Bulkly alternative?
Schedchie, at €7.99 a month flat. It is the only plan in our 25-tool census with neither accounts nor scheduled posts capped — the two limits that matter most for a recycled, high-volume queue. The wider budget field is on our alternatives page.
Does Schedchie cover the platforms Bulkly supported?
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Bluesky are included in the €7.99 plan, alongside TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Mastodon and Telegram. X (Twitter) posting is a €4.99 add-on covering 30 X posts a month.
