lifetime multi-network scheduling vs visual-first scheduling
Hopper HQ is for small businesses and creators in a browser calendar. Heropost bundles HeroAI, workspaces, RSS and store automations, and unlimited scheduling into one-time lifetime tiers.
Heropost
- HeroAI drafts captions, threads, and hashtags inside the composer on every tier
- One-time lifetime tiers from $197 with unlimited posts and all eleven networks on every plan
- Workspaces separate brands, media, and time zones inside one login
- Bulk CSV upload, client self-connect invites, MonoLink pages, and store automations without per-channel fees
- Agency tier adds approval workflows, roles, and client guest review
Hopper HQ
- AI assistant lives inside Hopper HQ — no skills, workspace MCP, or Public API for external agents
- Per-account pricing that climbs in a straight line as you connect more profiles
- One account pile for every brand, client, and channel
- Grid planner, link-in-bio, and hashtag bundles when you mainly need agent-native scheduling
- Dashboard-first publishing — agent drafts cannot land as reviewable checkpoints without the Hopper HQ UI

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Common questions and answers. Contact us if you need more help.
Buffer and Hootsuite often charge per seat for calendar basics. OpenQuok gives you channels, scheduling, and multi-channel publish in one workspace. Agents can draft through MCP, the CLI, or the API — you approve before anything goes live. Compare OpenQuok vs Buffer, OpenQuok vs Hootsuite, or all comparisons.
Yes. OpenQuok offers one 7-day free trial per payment customer so you can run social media accounts on auto-pilot before you subscribe the plan. Create an account and start today — no credit card required. Canceling and resubscribing, or creating another workspace, does not grant a second trial. Plan limits are on Pricing and in the billing limits guide; trial rules are in the Cloud trial guide.
Use one workspace per client or brand. Each workspace keeps its own channels and sign-in details separate. That lowers the risk that an AI agent hallucinates posts to the wrong account. See plan workspace counts, billing limits, and how we compare. Agencies group channels by client in the team collaboration walkthrough.
Connect channels, write in Creating posts, then pick a time on the calendar or kanban. Agents can use the CLI, agent setup guides, or MCP setup guides. From Chrome, install Add to Chrome, it's free and draft from the browser extension side panel without opening the dashboard every time.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants connect to the tools you use. Connect OpenQuok in your MCP client and your agent can list channels, read platform rules, and schedule posts without opening the dashboard. Start with MCP getting started or a MCP setup guide.
No. OpenQuok publishes through each network’s official API. Reach should match posting in the native app. See Connect rules.
OpenQuok connects channels, a calendar, kanban, and an approval queue in one workspace. Agents can draft through MCP, the CLI, or agent hosts. You approve before anything publishes. Schedule from Chrome with Add to Chrome, it's free and the browser extension side panel. Read the full workflow on Social media management and browse supported channels.
OpenQuok is DIY directory launch software. You build business profiles, autofill forms with the browser extension — install from Add to Chrome, it's free on Chrome — and track each submission. We do not run a done-for-you campaign for you. Start on the Directory submission tool page, follow directory submission docs, and pick targets in Build backlinks.
Yes. Both workflows live in the same product. Use Social media management for channels, agents, and approvals — including the browser extension side panel after Add to Chrome, it's free. Use Directory submission tool for business profiles, extension autofill on directory sites, and submission tracking. One workspace can hold social channels and directory launch work for the same brand.
