visual-first scheduling vs bulk scheduling and affordable per-account pricing

Publer is for solopreneurs and agencies who want CSV bulk scheduling and a familiar calendar UI. Hopper HQ keeps scheduling visual with grid previews, bulk upload, link-in-bio pages, and hashtag research for teams that live in the dashboard.

Hopper HQ

  • > Unlimited AI assistant drafts captions, hashtags, and strategy inside the post planner
  • > Entry pricing from $6/account/mo with unlimited posts and a 14-day free trial
  • > Simple calendar for solo operators — no enterprise workspace sprawl
  • > Instagram grid planner, link-in-bio pages, and hashtag explorer for visual creators
  • > Content approvals and post-failure rules on Scale for teams that review in the dashboard

Typical Publer workflow

  • AI Assist and MCP sit behind Business — no workspace-scoped skills or agent checkpoints on lower tiers
  • Per-account and per-member add-ons that climb before the 10th-account discount applies
  • Workspaces organize accounts — not isolated agent tokens and MCP endpoints per workspace
  • Analytics, API, and MCP require Business — Professional is scheduling without performance reports
  • Approval roles and advanced collaboration start on Business, not the $5 Professional tier
