Best LinkedIn and Twitter Schedulers in 2026: Real Prices, Cheapest First

The cheapest way to schedule on both LinkedIn and Twitter in 2026 is a free plan from Buffer (10 scheduled posts per channel) or Typefully (10 posts a month). The cheapest paid option is Publer at $9 a month for two accounts, or $7.20 billed yearly. Check that Twitter is actually on the plan before you pay: several tools now leave it out or charge extra for it.

Most "best scheduler" lists price one account, or quote a starting price that doesn't include Twitter. So we priced the case most founders and creators actually have: one LinkedIn profile and one Twitter account. Every price below was read on the tool's own pricing page on 9 November 2026.

We make VoiceMoat, which is on this list. It isn't the cheapest, and we say so below.

The price ladder

Prices from each tool's own page, 9 November 2026, billed yearly where offered.

Cost per month for 1 LinkedIn and 1 Twitter account, cheapest first:

A few things this table makes obvious. The gap between the cheapest paid plan and the most expensive is about eleven times. And the three tools under $13 a month do the core job: put a post on a calendar and publish it on time on both networks.

What it costs over a year

A monthly price hides the real commitment. Here's the same list as a yearly bill for two accounts, using the yearly price where a tool offers one:

If all you need is a calendar, the difference between the top of this list and the bottom is a holiday.

What "free" actually covers

Checked 9 November 2026.

A free plan is only useful if it connects both networks. Many don't:

How far free goes: if you post three times a week on each network, that's about 26 posts a month. Typefully's 10 won't cover it. Buffer's limit is on posts waiting in the queue, and it refills as they publish, so topping up once a week fits inside it.

Why Twitter costs extra now

Source: Metricool, 9 November 2026.

Twitter has become the expensive half of this pairing, because tools pay for access to it. Metricool says so directly: "Because X charges for every API connection, Metricool offers this access as a paid add-on separate from your main plan."

Three different results of the same pressure:

• Metricool charges $10 a month per Twitter account on top of the plan. The price took effect on 13 July 2026.

• Publer keeps Twitter out of its free plan and includes it on paid ones.

• Hypefury, once a Twitter-first scheduler, now lists six platforms on its pricing page and Twitter isn't one of them.

So before you pay, search the pricing page for "X" or "Twitter". If it's marked as an add-on, add that to the price.

Each tool in a few lines

Publer: cheapest paid plan that covers both. $9 a month for two accounts, $7.20 billed yearly. Unlimited scheduling, first comments and threads. The price rises per account, so it stays cheap only while you have few.

Typefully: the best writing experience for Twitter threads. Free for 10 posts a month, then $99 a year on Creator (annual billing only). It also handles LinkedIn first comments and PDF carousels. See our Typefully alternatives if it isn't the right fit.

Buffer: the simple default. A usable free plan, then $12 a month for two channels ($10 billed yearly). Our Buffer alternatives guide covers what it lacks.

Postiz: for people who like to self-host or use AI agents. $29 a month ($23 billed yearly) for 5 channels with no post limit. You can run it on your own server, and every plan includes an API and MCP server.

SocialBee: for evergreen content. $29 a month ($24.20 billed yearly) for 5 profiles, built around content categories you can recycle.

Metricool: if you want analytics in the same place. $35 a month once you add Twitter ($30 billed yearly). Competitor tracking and reports are the reason to pay this much.

Hootsuite: for teams. Starts at $99 per user a month for up to 10 accounts, billed annually. Far more than a solo poster needs.

VoiceMoat: if writing is the hard part. $35 a month for Creator, which schedules 7 days ahead ($69 for 15 days, $150 for 30). You can try Creator for $1 for 3 days. More on this below.

The two built-in schedulers: $0. LinkedIn's own composer lets you schedule up to three months ahead. On Twitter, X's Help Center describes scheduling on the web with the calendar icon in the compose box. Some guides say not every account gets it, so check yours; our guide to scheduling on Twitter has the steps. Either way, you're working in two places with no shared calendar, and threads are where third-party tools earn their place.

What to check before you pay

• Is Twitter on this plan, or is it an add-on?

• Is the price per account? Publer and Buffer charge per account or channel. Postiz and SocialBee charge for a bundle of five, so they only make sense if you'll use more.

• Is monthly billing offered? Typefully Creator and Hootsuite are annual only.

• Can it do what you post? Threads, LinkedIn PDF carousels and first comments vary by tool and plan.

• How far ahead can you schedule, and how many posts can wait in the queue?

Which one to pick

Our suggestions.

• You post a few times a month: Buffer Free or Typefully Free.

• You post every week and only need a calendar: Publer.

• Twitter threads are your main format: Typefully Creator.

• You manage more than two accounts: Postiz or SocialBee, because five come bundled.

• You want analytics in the same tool: Metricool.

• You're a team with an inbox to manage: Hootsuite.

• Your problem is what to post, not when: keep reading.

Where VoiceMoat fits

Every tool above assumes the post already exists. Most of the time, that's the part that stops people.

VoiceMoat is an AI social media tool for LinkedIn and Twitter. audenAI, the brain inside VoiceMoat, learns from your own published posts, drafts in your voice with a separate voice for each platform, and scores every draft for Voice Match. Then you schedule it in the same place.

It costs $35 a month, which is about four times Publer. If you already have your posts written, that's money you don't need to spend. If you're paying for a scheduler and it sits empty, try VoiceMoat: Creator is $1 for 3 days.
