visual Instagram planning vs lifetime multi-network scheduling

Heropost is for creators and agencies who want eleven networks and unlimited posts in one hosted app. Later lets you plan Instagram posts on a visual calendar and grid. You also get Link in Bio.

Later

  • > Caption Writer and Ideas create copy in the post builder. You spend monthly AI credits.
  • > Annual Starter starts at $18.75 per month for one social set, Link in Bio, and a 14-day trial.
  • > Access Groups split media libraries and calendars when you manage extra brands.
  • > You get an Instagram grid planner, Link in Bio, UGC collection, and Scale competitive benchmarking in one dashboard.
  • > Growth and Scale include internal and external approvals. You can share a review link without a Later login.

Typical Heropost workflow

  • HeroAI stays inside Heropost — no skills, workspace MCP, or Public API for external agents yet
  • Account and workspace caps on Starter and Growth before Agency unlocks unlimited seats
  • Hosted client workspaces — not isolated agent workspaces with separate tokens and MCP endpoints
  • Public API and white label are marked coming soon — not available for custom agent stacks today
  • Approvals and unlimited team members require the Agency lifetime tier
