The best Tweet schedulers – summary

---

#1 – SocialBee

SocialBee is the best social media scheduler we’ve tested, with some of the most advanced features you’ll find anywhere. It’s especially well-suited to users who value evergreen content thanks to its automatic retweeting and rich automation features.

SocialBee is another feature-rich platform that comes with all the tools you need to manage your socials. 

You can use it to curate and create social content, schedule posts, reply to comments, and analyze your growth. Not just on Twitter but also on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, and GMB.

SocialBee’s content creation and planning capabilities are second to none. It’s packed with some incredibly powerful, cutting-edge features that put it ahead of its competitors.

For example, the AI writer can automatically generate engaging Tweets (and other social content) for you. All you have to do is enter a prompt about what you want to Tweet about, and it’ll instantly knock something up.

It can also summarize lengthy content into short and sweet Tweets that sit within Twitter’s 280-character limit, and even turn your product descriptions into promotional Tweets.

To further fill out your content calendar, you can have SocialBee automatically generate and publish Tweets from your blog articles via RSS feeds. 

And you can also create your own Tweets yourself with the help of SocialBee’s design tools. Source images, gifs, and videos from Unsplash or GIPHY and add them to your posts, or design your own visuals with the native Canva integration.

To keep organized, you can organize all your social content into different categories. Then, queue each of those categories individually with category-based scheduling. This helps to ensure you get a good mix of content. 

But by far, our favorite feature of all is the reshare tool. 

You can set SocialBee up to automatically reshare your evergreen content repeatedly at different times so that you squeeze every drop of value out of it. It does this without breaking Twitter’s ToS by retweeting instead of reposting.

Key features

• Schedule posts
• Reshare evergreen content
• Content categories
• Expire posts
• AI generator
• Hashtag generator
• Customize posts
• Analytics
• Manage profiles
• Approval workflows
• Integrations

Pros

Pallyy’s not just for Twitter. You can use it to plan, schedule, and automatically publish content to all your social media accounts from the same place. That includes Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, GMB, Pinterest, and even TikTok.

You draft and schedule your Tweets (and other social content) from the content calendar. It’s super easy to use and lets you cross-post multiple platforms simultaneously. You can also add notes and comments to your calendar and share them with your clients for easy collaboration and approval workflows.

In addition to its scheduling tool, Pallyy also has a unified social inbox that makes it easy to monitor, manage, and reply to all your audience interactions. 

You’ll be able to see all your Twitter DMs and mentions as well as your comments and reviews on Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Google My Business in one inbox. And the UI is similar to Gmail, so it’s nice and familiar.

#3 – Agorapulse

Agorapulse is one of our favorite all-in-one social media management platforms. It has a great UI and is packed full of tools to help with every area of your social media operations.

Agorapulse’s slick scheduling interface gives you and your team/clients a birds-eye overview of your content strategy.

From the calendar, you can easily plan and schedule content to be posted on all your profiles. Supported social media networks include Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, GMB, and TikTok.

If you collaborate with a team, you can add notes to your content calendar, assign specific team members to specific posts, set up approval workflows, track action items, and more.

#4 – Publer

Publer has always been a powerful social media management tool. And with the addition of their new GPT-4 powered AI assist feature, it’s now up there with the best.

Publer shares many of the same features as the other Twitter schedulers we’ve looked at so far: a content calendar, analytics, content recycling, RSS feeds, post-curation tool, etc.

But there are a couple of things that make it stand out.

First, Publer is one of the few tools that let you schedule standalone Tweets and Tweet threads.

You can combine as many as 15 Tweets together by scheduling follow-up comments to create one huge thread. This is super useful when you can’t fit everything you want to say into Twitter’s 280-character limit or just want to generate more engagement.

Publer’s also one of the first tools to integrate GPT-4, OpenAI’s revolutionary language learning model. You can use it to brainstorm ideas and generate Tweets in seconds, while staying true to your brand voice through the power of artificial intelligence.

Aside from text, the AI Assistant can also generate images for you to use in your Tweets and other social media posts.

Another feature we really like is Publer’s Social Media Holiday Calendar. It’s a visual calendar that includes information about all the national, international, and awareness holidays that happen throughout the year along with their related keywords, so you’ll always have something to post about.

Key features

• Content calendar
• Bulk scheduling
• RSS feeds
• Recycling
• Link in bio tool
• AI generator
• Post curation
• Workspaces
• Tweet threads
• Analytics

Pros

• Supports lots of social platforms
• Allows you to schedule Tweet threads
• Powerful AI generator
• Rich feature set

Cons

• UI needs work
• Limited support hours

Pricing

The free plan lets you schedule up to 10 posts per account. Paid plans start at $12/month and include unlimited scheduling.

Sendible is a true all-in-one solution with a broad feature set. It has everything you need to manage social at scale, including publishing/scheduling tools, analytics, social media monitoring, dashboard management, etc. 

Sendible is great for agencies because it has some of the best team collaboration features and the most powerful reporting we’ve seen.

Plus, it’s also one of the only platforms to offer white labeling. Agencies on a white-label Sendible plan can create their own branded version of the platform for their clients to access. 

You could even set up access limits for your clients and upsell different service packages that offer access to more areas of the dashboard.

Key features

• Scheduling
• Publishing

• Reporting
• White label

Pros

#6 – Metricool

Metricool is another popular social media management platform, with over a million users. Its broad cross-platform support, rich feature set, and scalable pricing plans stand out amongst other tools.

Metricool supports more social media platforms than most. It doesn’t just help with scheduling Tweets; you can use it to post pretty much every other type of social media post you can think of. It’s also one of the only tools that support Twitch.

You schedule Tweets on Metricool via the drag-and-drop scheduling calendar. There are some advanced features to help save you time. This includes batch scheduling, evergreen content queues, best-time-to-post suggestions, a hashtag generator, and more.

Aside from the scheduler, Metricool also comes with tons of other useful SMM features, including a social inbox, ads manager, AI assistant, hashtag tracker, analytics and reports, competitor research tool, Looker Studi connector, and a Chrome extension.

We also like that Metricool offers a wide range of plans to fit every budget and use case.

• Inbox
• Ads
• Reports
• Analytics
• Hashtag tracker
• Chrome extension

Pros

#7 – TweetDeck

TweetDeck is the best free Tweet scheduler out there. It’s not as advanced as the paid tools we’ve looked at so far, but it’s a great choice for users who just need a basic scheduler and don’t want to fork out a monthly subscription.

While TweetDeck was originally built as an independent app, it’s since been acquired by Twitter and is now fully integrated into the native interface. As such, it’s one of the most popular Twitter clients in the world.

Anyone with a Twitter account can sign up for TweetDeck in a few clicks. Once you’ve signed up, you can use it to send and receive Tweets, discover content, manage engagements, and more.

And what’s more, you can connect multiple accounts to your TweetDeck and manage them all from one interface. This is super useful if you’re a marketing professional working with a bunch of different brands,

The UI is fantastic. It consists of a series of customizable columns—or ‘decks’—that you can set up to show you different types of Twitter content. 

So, for example, you might have one column set up to show you your latest notifications and mentions. And next to that, another column to display your scheduled Tweets. 

There are 10 different column types to choose from: Home Timeline, Lists, Search, Messages, Explore, Profiles, Notifications, Scheduled Tweets, Draft Tweets, and Bookmarked Tweets. These columns can be filtered to include/exclude certain users or tweets with specific keywords.

Another cool thing about TweetDeck is that it uses Twitter’s native automatic URL shortening. So if you paste a link into your scheduled Tweets, it’ll automatically be converted to a 23-character shortlink.

Key features

• Customizable columns/decks
• Tweet scheduling
• Discovery tools
• Engagement monitoring
• Multi-profile management
• Automatic URL shortening

• Manage multiple accounts from one interface

Best Tweet schedulers FAQ

Is there a scheduler for Twitter?

Yes, there are lots of schedulers for Twitter. All of the tools in this list can be used to schedule Tweets.

Twitter also offers basic native Tweet scheduling capabilities, though these aren’t as sophisticated as the tools in this list. To access Twitter’s native scheduler, click the calendar icon below your message to choose the date and time you want it sent out. 

What is the best app to schedule Tweets for free?

TweetDeck is the best app to schedule Tweets for free. Aside from enabling you to schedule Tweets, you can also use it to manage multiple accounts in one dashboard, discover content, track and reply to your engagements, and more.

Can you automate Twitter posts?

Twitter allows post automation as long as it’s compliant with the Twitter Rules and Developer Agreement Policy. 

Many of the tools in this list can help you to automate certain types of Twitter posts so that you’re never short of content. For example, you can use SocialBee to import your RSS feed and automatically generate tweets for your blog posts.

We’d also recommend checking out our roundup of the best social media automation tools if this is something you’re interested in. 

How many Tweets per day is optimal?

There’s no definitive consensus about the number of Tweets that Twitter users should aim for. Depending on who you ask, you’ll get answers ranging from once to 50 times per day, or more.

Ultimately, the optimal number of Tweets you should send daily will depend on your goals, audience, and the type of content you put out.

That said, Tweets have a short shelf life compared to other types of social media content, so if you’re looking to grow, we’d suggest aiming for at least 3 per day. 

That might seem like a lot, but the most prolific users Tweet much more often than that. In fact, 92% of all Tweets are made by only 10% of Twitter users.

What is the best time to post a Tweet?

Again, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Ultimately, the best time to post a Tweet is whenever your audience is the most active and likely to engage with your posts. 

The best way to discover your best time to post is to look at your engagement data and see if you can spot any trends.

Certain social media management tools, including many of those on this list, can analyze your historical data and use it to automatically determine the best time to post to maximize engagement.

Choosing the best Tweet scheduler for your needs

That concludes our roundup of the best Tweet schedulers on the market.

The only question that remains is which one should you go with?

Well, that will depend on your budget, the features you’re looking for, and whether or not you also want to schedule social media posts on other platforms aside from Twitter.

That said, here’s a recap of our top recommendations:

• SocialBee is the most powerful social media scheduler we’ve tested. It’s the perfect choice for users that are focusing on evergreen content.
• Pallyy will be the best choice for content creators focused on video content. It’s a feature-rich Twitter scheduler that’s super easy to use, with a great free plan and an affordable premium plan.
• Agorapulse and Sendible are the best social media tools for users who want to do more than just schedule Tweets. Agorapulse has the best UI, but Sendible is a better choice for teams that want to reduce costs.
