Pricing math: Publer vs Schedchie at 1, 3, 5, and 10 accounts
Publer prices per social account, and the rate drops as you add more: the first account costs $5/month on Professional, two accounts cost $4.50 each, and at three or more accounts every account costs $4/month. The Business tier follows the same shape at $10 / $8.50 / $7 per account. Publer also gives you every 10th account free. Schedchie is one flat price. Here is what that means in practice (monthly billing, verified July 2026):
| Accounts | Publer Professional | Publer Business | Schedchie |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $5/mo | $10/mo | €7.99/mo |
| 3 | $12/mo | $21/mo | €7.99/mo |
| 5 | $20/mo | $35/mo | €7.99/mo |
| 10 | $36/mo | $63/mo | €7.99/mo |
The 10-account figures include Publer's "every 10th account free" rule (you pay for 9). Team seats are extra on Publer — $2/month per additional member on Professional, $3 on Business. Schedchie's Team plan is €24.99 flat for three invited members, and the members themselves pay nothing.
The X (Twitter) asterisk cuts both ways. Publer's free plan doesn't allow X accounts at all — X requires a paid plan. Schedchie's base plan doesn't include X either: it's a €4.99 add-on per 30 X posts, valid 30 days, which passes through the X API fees. If X is your main platform, factor that in: a Schedchie user posting daily to X pays roughly €4.99 extra per month, while a Publer Professional user gets X included in the $5/account price.
Feature comparison, verified July 2026
| Feature | Publer | Schedchie |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per account: $5 first, $4/account at 3+ (Professional); Business $10 first, $7/account at 3+ | €7.99/mo flat, unlimited accounts |
| Platforms | 13: Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Google Business, Telegram, WordPress | 8 included: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky; X via add-on |
| Post limits | Free: 10 pending posts/account. Paid: daily per-platform caps (e.g. 20 TikTok videos/day on Professional, 25 on Business) | Unlimited scheduled posts; X capped by add-on (30 posts per €4.99) |
| Bulk scheduling | Up to 500 posts at once via CSV — paid plans | CSV bulk import: datetime and text columns, plus optional media and title columns, matched against a bulk-uploaded media pool |
| Recurring content | Recycling on Business; RSS auto-posting on paid plans | Recurring posts on the €7.99 plan: a fully successful publish clones its next occurrence |
| AI | Limited AI Assist prompts on Free/Professional; unlimited on Business | No built-in AI. An MCP server (mcp.schedchie.com, OAuth 2.1, 48 tools) connects ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor straight to your account |
| Analytics | Analytics reports and best-times-to-post on Business tier | Post and account performance on LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky and Pinterest, plus engagement on Instagram, Facebook and Threads — on the €7.99 plan, not a tier up |
| Team features | Members at $2–$3/mo each, approval workflows, unlimited workspaces | €24.99 Team plan: 3 invited members at no seat fee, post approvals, per-client Group scoping, client review links, 30-day activity view |
| Entry | Free plan: 3 accounts, with big catches (below) | 14 days of the full product, then €7.99 |
| Trial | 7 days (Professional), 14 days (Business) | 14 days |
Two things stand out in that table. Publer publishes to more platforms: Telegram, Mastodon, Google Business Profile and WordPress are all on its list. And Publer meters what Schedchie doesn't — per-account fees, per-seat fees, and per-platform daily posting caps, none of which exist on the €7.99 plan.
Note the fine print on Publer's paid plans: "unlimited scheduling" runs into per-platform daily limits pulled straight from Publer's own plan-comparison data — for example, 20 TikTok videos per day and 10 YouTube videos per day on Professional. Most solo users will never hit those. High-volume multi-brand posters might.
Publer's free plan: genuinely good, with one big catch
Publer has one of the better free plans left in 2026 — a shrinking club, as we found in our free-plan census: only 8 of 25 schedulers we checked still offer a real free plan. Publer's gives you 3 social accounts, 10 pending scheduled posts per account (30 total), and 25 saved drafts. No X accounts on free — X needs a paid plan.
The big catch: published posts vanish from your history after 24 hours. That's not a typo. A day after a post goes out, it disappears from your Publer dashboard. In practice this means no reviewing what you published last week, no reusing old content from within the tool, no performance tracking over time, and no paper trail if a client asks what went out. For a set-and-forget personal account it may not matter. For anything resembling brand management, it turns the free plan into what it's designed to be: a demo that works until you depend on it. Publer's paid plans fix this with what it calls eternal post history.
The 10-pending-posts-per-account cap bites too: if you schedule a week ahead at two posts a day, you're already over it on one account.
What Publer's per-account price buys
- A cheap first account. $5/month for one, and a free plan inside its limits — 3 accounts, 10 pending posts each, 24-hour post history.
- X (Twitter) included on the paid plans.
- RSS and recycling. Auto-posting from RSS feeds, and evergreen recycling on the Business tier.
- Telegram, Mastodon, Google Business Profile and WordPress. Publer publishes to all four.
- Watermarking. Photo watermarks on Professional, video watermarks on Business.
Choose Schedchie if...
- You manage 3 or more accounts. At 5 accounts you save $12+/month vs Publer Professional; at 10, you save $28+/month — every month, forever.
- You want zero meters: unlimited accounts, unlimited posts, unlimited client Groups, no daily platform caps and no per-seat charges — and analytics on the base plan rather than reserved for a $10/account tier.
- You'd rather have one flat, predictable line item than a calculator. Publer's price changes every time your account list does.
- Your platforms are the mainstream eight — Instagram (feed, stories, reels, carousels), TikTok, Facebook pages and groups, LinkedIn profiles and company pages, Pinterest, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky — with custom Reel and video covers, recurring posts, and a per-account publish outcome on every post with one-click retry.
- You want a 14-day trial before paying (Publer's Professional trial is 7 days).

What €7.99 and €24.99 cover
The €7.99 plan is the whole scheduler: eight platforms, unlimited connected accounts, unlimited scheduled posts, unlimited client Groups, the calendar and visual planner, CSV bulk import, recurring posts, custom Reel and video covers, per-account publish outcomes with one-click retry, and the analytics tab. No daily platform caps, no per-account fee, nothing to recalculate when you take on a client. The €24.99 Team plan adds three invited members who pay no seat fee and hold no billed seat, post approvals that hold a post until the owner signs off — a retry or a reschedule cannot slip past them — per-client Group scoping, client review links the client opens with no account and no login, and a 30-day activity view. X publishing is the one metered thing: €4.99 per 30 posts, valid 30 days, because X's API fee lands on the accounts that use X rather than on everyone's subscription.
FAQ: Publer vs Schedchie
Is Publer free?
Publer has a real free plan: 3 social accounts, 10 pending scheduled posts per account, and 25 saved drafts.

Paid plans start at $5/month for 1 account (verified on Publer's official pages, July 2026).
How much does Publer cost for 5 accounts?
$20/month on the Professional plan with monthly billing — at 3 or more accounts, Publer Professional charges $4 per account per month. The Business tier costs $35/month for 5 accounts ($7 per account). Extra team members cost $2–$3/month each on top.
Which is cheaper, Publer or Schedchie?
Publer is cheaper for 1 account ($5/month vs Schedchie's €7.99). At 2 accounts they're roughly even ($9 vs €7.99). From 3 accounts up, Schedchie is cheaper: it stays €7.99/month flat with unlimited accounts and posts, while Publer costs $12 at 3 accounts, $20 at 5, and $36 at 10.
Does Publer support X (Twitter)?
Yes, on paid plans — X scheduling, threads, and analytics are included from the $5/month Professional tier up. X accounts cannot be connected on Publer's free plan due to X API costs. Schedchie handles X differently: it's a €4.99 add-on per 30 posts, valid 30 days.
Does Publer delete your posts after 24 hours?
On the free plan, yes — published posts vanish from your post history 24 hours after publishing. Your posts stay live on the social networks themselves; you just lose the record inside Publer. Paid plans include full (Publer calls it "eternal") post history.
