agent-native scheduling, not another grid planner tab
Later is for creators and social teams who plan posts on a visual calendar. OpenQuok covers the same scheduling basics. You also get workspaces, agents, and API access.
OpenQuok
- Agents draft and schedule with skills, MCP, or the Public API. You approve posts on the calendar.
- Plans from $29 per workspace per month. No per-seat or per-channel fees.
- Each workspace has its own channels, OAuth app, token, and MCP endpoint.
- You pay for scheduling and directory tools. Not unused suite extras.
- Each workspace has an MCP server and CLI. Agents connect without copy and paste.
- Each agent draft lands as a draft or a scheduled post. You can add follow-up comments with delays.
Later
- AI credits stay inside Later (5–100 each month). You cannot use skills, workspace MCP, or a Public API with external agents.
- You pay per social set. Extra sets cost more. Starter allows 30 posts per profile. Growth allows 180 posts per profile.
- Social sets and Access Groups stay in one Later login. You do not get separate agent workspaces with their own tokens and MCP endpoints.
- Later focuses on a visual planner, Link in Bio, and influencer tools. You cannot publish to X or Bluesky.
- Later has no public scheduling API, MCP server, Zapier, Make, or n8n. You publish from the dashboard.
- Approvals start on Growth. Starter has one user. Agent drafts cannot wait for review unless you use the Later UI.

Legacy schedulers stack per-seat fees and enterprise tiers for calendar basics. OpenQuok covers connect channels, compose, calendar, multi-channel publish, and agent-first paths — workspaces, MCP, CLI, and API scheduling with human approval. Same workflow when you post by hand; built for when agents draft the work. Compare feature-by-feature on OpenQuok vs Buffer and OpenQuok vs Hootsuite, or browse 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.
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. 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, 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. Use Directory submission tool for business profiles, extension autofill, and submission tracking. One workspace can hold social channels and directory launch work for the same brand.
