12 Best Tweet Schedulers (2025 Comparison)

You want to schedule tweets at a time that makes sense for your audience.

But with so many tweet schedulers on the market – which do you choose?

In this post, we’re comparing the best tweet schedulers on the market. By the end of this post, you’ll be able to make a more informed decision.

We’ll cover everything from free tweet schedulers to all-in-one tools to manage your entire social media strategy (not just publishing on Twitter).

And while Twitter has rebranded to X, I still type twitter.com into my browser. Old habits die hard, I guess.

The best Tweet schedulers – summary

#1 – SocialBee

SocialBee is the best Twitter 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 caption generator & Copilot
• Hashtag generator
• Customize posts
• Analytics
• Manage profiles
• Approval workflows
• Integrations

Pros

• Includes an AI generator
• Evergreen resharing is useful
• Powerful and advanced feature set
• AI Copilot can plan your entire social strategy (for Twitter + other networks)

Cons

• No social listening feature
• Maximum of 5,000 posts per category on top-tier plan

Pricing

Plans start from $29/month. You can try it out with a 14-day free trial. Save 16% with annual billing.

#2 – Pallyy

Pallyy is the best Tweet scheduler for those focused on visual content. It’s excellent value for money with great features and a generous free plan.

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.

The interface is fantastic. There’s a visual planning grid that you can use to plan your social feeds, as well as a media library, hashtag library, and template library where you can store all the assets you use to create your social content.

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 Business in one inbox. And the UI is similar to Gmail, so it’s nice and familiar.

Then on top of that, Pallyy also gives you access to deep insights and analytics for Twitter, plus Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

#3 – Sendible

Sendible is another AIO social media tool with powerful scheduling capabilities and reasonably-priced plans. It’s also perfect for agencies.

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
• Dashboard
• Collaboration
• Analytics
• Reporting
• White label

Pros

• Great for agencies
• Good value
• Broad feature set
• Supports most platforms

Cons

• White labeling requires a custom plan

Pricing

#4 – Viraly

Viraly is a powerful scheduler tool from the creators of SweepWidget. I’m a big fan of its user interface—it’s simple, clean, and easy to use.

Viraly lets you schedule all kinds of posts—not just tweets, but also posts for other social networks, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and Twitter rival Threads.

Just load up the interactive content calendar, choose a date and time, and create your post. There are a few neat built-in tools to make it easier to create posts, including an AI caption generator, photo and video editors, and a shared media library.

Once you’ve scheduled a tweet, Viraly will auto-publish it at the time/date you set. All scheduled tweets are viewable inside the content calendar, and you can switch between different views (e.g., monthly, weekly, list) and filters to sort through them.

Viraly’s a particularly good choice for agencies on account of its powerful team features. You can set up workspaces to keep all your social sets separate, add custom user roles and permissions for your team, collaborate in real-time through the shared content calendar, and more.

Now, it’s worth noting that there’s no social inbox but it more than makes up for that with its price point, solid scheduling functionality, and clean UI.

Key features

• Multi-platform scheduling (including Twitter)
• Automated post queues
• Best time to post suggestions
• Shared content calendar
• Media library
• AI caption generator
• Photo editor
• Video editor
• Collaboration features
• Workspaces

Agorapulse is another solid all-in-one tool. 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.

Like SocialBee, Agorapulse supports rescheduling. So you can take your best-performing Tweets and put them in front of new audiences by automatically resharing them repeatedly until the chosen end date.

On top of the scheduling features, Agorapulse also comes with reporting and analytics, ROI tracking, and a unified inbox. The latter includes a neat Inbox Assistant feature that helps you to better manage conversations by automating your inbox management.

Plus, Agorapulse even includes a social listening feature that monitors the web and notifies you immediately about social conversations that include your target keywords or brand mentions. 

This helps you keep track of what audiences say about your brand or industry and lets you jump into important conversations faster.

Key features

• Twitter publishing

• Reporting
• ROI tracking
• Social media monitoring
• Unified inbox

A 30-day free trial is available.

#6 – Publer

Publer is another popular tool that makes it easy to schedule tweets and Twitter threads. 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 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

• Free plan doesn’t support Twitter
• Limited support hours

Pricing

Free plan available but doesn’t support Twitter. Paid plans start at $12/month and include unlimited scheduling.

#7 – Metricool

Metricool is a popular social media tool with strong tweet scheduling capabilities, Twitter analytics, and they support 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. 

Key features

• Planner
• Scheduling
• SmartLinks
• Inbox
• Ads
• Reports
• Analytics
• Hashtag tracker
• Chrome extension

Pros

• Lots of features
• Supports more platforms than most
• Advanced scheduling tools
• Good value for money

Cons

• Scheduled post limits on every plan
• UI could be better

Pricing

Metricool offers a limited free plan. Paid plans start from $18/month billed annually.

#8 – HopperHQ

HopperHQ is one of the only Twitter schedulers I’ve tried that lets you add unlimited users without paying extra, so it offers superb value for teams and agencies.

Unlike Twitter’s native scheduler, HopperHQ lets you schedule posts to multiple social networks simultaneously from one place, enhancing efficiency. 

Just sign in, create your tweet, and choose the platforms you want to share it on. If you want to save time, you can use the tweet generator to create your post in a few clicks.

It also supports bulk scheduling, so you could schedule up to 350 tweets in one go if you wanted to. This is a huge time-saver if you already have a bunch of pre-prepared tweets ready to post, as you won’t have to schedule each one individually.

All scheduled tweets (and other social media posts) are shown in the drag-and-drop content calendar. Thumbnail previews let you see what images/videos are scheduled on each date at a glance.

The thing I like most about HopperHQ is its simple, no-nonsense pricing. Unlike some other tools, it doesn’t gate premium features behind higher-tier pricing plans. There’s just one plan that includes every feature, as well as unlimited users and posts. 

However, you pay per social set, and you only get one Twitter account in each social set. In practice, that means if you wanted to manage 3 Twitter accounts, you’d pay 3x as much.

Key features 

• Multi-platform post scheduling
• Drag-and-drop content calendar
• Bulk tweet scheduling
• Tweet generator
• Approval workflows
• Post failure rules
• Collaboration features
• Rescheduling
• Auto publishing
• Biolink tool
• Analytics

Pros

• Simple scheduling interface
• Supports bulk scheduling
• Lots of time-saving features
• Great for teams
• Straightforward pricing

Cons

• You pay per social set
• No social inbox

Pricing

Plans start at $19 per month, per social set. A 14-day free trial is available.

#9 – Iconosquare

Iconosquare is a powerful and fairly affordable tool with good Tweet scheduling functionality.

As Twitter schedulers go, Iconosquare has one of the best. It’s extremely easy to use and allows you to craft the perfect posts in seconds. 

You can easily create hashtags lists to add to your posts in one click, and you can choose to cross-post your content to selected social media channels. 

Iconosquare also recently introduced an AI caption generator, which can help you to save time when creating image-based posts for your socials. 

Once your posts are ready, you can find the best time to post data to optimize your output and view and edit all posts using the intuitive visual calendar. 

Iconosquare also has powerful reporting and analytics features, a social listening feature, a unified social inbox, and collaboration tools, making it a good choice for agencies and teams. 

Key features

• Visual Twitter calendar
• Hashtag list management 
• AI caption generator
• Crosspost to different channels
• Analytics and reporting 
• Social listening 
• Conversations inbox
• Collaboration tools 

Pros

• Powerful Twitter scheduling functionality 
• AI caption generator helps to save time 
• Slightly cheaper than other similar all-in-one tools 

Cons

• Cheaper options available 
• More suited to teams and agencies than influencers or solopreneurs 

Pricing

Plans start from $39/month (save 22% with annual billing). There is a 14-day free trial available. 

Read our Iconosquare review.

#10 – Post Planner

Post Planner is another popular social media tool that lets you schedule posts to Twitter/X and every other network from one place.

It has a couple of things going for it that you don’t get with many of the other tools on this list.

First off, Post Planner has one of the most powerful content curation features of any scheduler I’ve tried. 

You can use it to search the web for content that your audience will love and sort the results by social media performance metrics like likes, shares, etc. Once you find something you want to share with your audience, you can add it to your posting queue in a couple of clicks.

There are a bunch of other features to help you automate the scheduling process and save even more time, like category-based scheduling, auto-recycling (so you can re-share your best tweets again and again), AI post generation, etc.

I also like that Post Planner doesn’t limit you to only scheduling tweets. You can also schedule threads, retweets, and quote tweets. 

Automated hashtag suggestions show you the optimal hashtags to use alongside your Twitter content to maximize your discovery, which is another nice touch. 

And finally, Post Planner gets extra points for being one of the few scheduling tools to offer a completely free plan. 

Granted, it only lets you schedule up to 15 posts per month for free, but that’s good enough to try it out—and the paid plans are super affordable when you’re ready to upgrade.

Key features

• Social scheduling
• Design tools
• AI generator
• Hashtag suggestions
• Discover (content curation)
• Team collaboration
• Categorize (post buckets)
• Mobile app
• Analytics

Pros

• Easy to use
• Low starting price
• Free plan available
• Best-in-class content curation

Cons

• The user interface could be better
• Daily posting limits
• Not a true “all-in-one” tool (no social inbox or streams)

Pricing

Plans start from $12/month and discounts are available when you pay annually. Get started with the free forever plan or 7-day free trial.

#11 – Hootsuite

Hootsuite is a popular SMM solution that allows you to schedule posts for Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, TikTok, and many more. 

This tool can not only help you to schedule your tweets in advance, but it can also help you to create engaging Twitter content, and become more consistent with your output. 

Hootsuite offers many social media templates and has a content inspiration tool and an AI hashtag generator. 

When your posts are ready, you can schedule them individually or in bulk and find data on the best time to post. Hootsuite’s visual calendar makes it really easy to schedule tweets and other social content, whilst collaborating with your team or clients.

Hootsuite also offers features like a social media inbox, analytics, ad tools, social listening, and more.

If you’re looking for an all-in-one solution that’s powerful, and suitable for growing businesses, this could be the right choice for you. 

Key features

• Intuitive scheduling tools 
• Content inspiration tools 
• Social media templates
• AI hashtag generator 
• Best time to post data 
• Social media inbox 
• Ad management 
• Social listening 

Pros

• All-in-one solution
• Powerful scheduling tool 
• Content inspiration tools are useful 

Cons

• Not as cheap as some other tools
• Might be out of budget for small businesses and solopreneurs
• In recent years, they have removed their free plan and increased prices on legacy customers several times.

Pricing

Plans start from $99/month. There is also a 30-day free trial available.

#12 – Sprout Social

Sprout Social is an enterprise-level solution that allows you to schedule tweets, and manage your overall social media strategy. 

When it comes to publishing, you can use Sprout’s intuitive visual calendar to create, and schedule tweets and other social media content with ease. 

You can also get insights into when the best time to post is and make use of a shared image library to quickly and easily craft content for Twitter and other social platforms. 

However, Sprout Social is more than just a tweet scheduler. It’s an all-in-one platform and is suitable for large businesses looking for a solution that can help them to manage their social media marketing and elevate their business. 

Sprout Social has tons of additional features like social media listening, team collaboration tools, a unified social inbox, analytics, and more.

But all of these features come with a pretty hefty price tag, so it’s not the best option if you’re just looking for a simple Tweet scheduling solution. 

Key features

• Scheduling and Publishing 
• Content creation tools 
• Best time to post data 
• Analytics and reporting 
• Social listening 
• Social inbox 
• Team collaboration tools

Frequently asked questions

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?

This used to be possible with TweetDeck but since Twitter was rebranded to X, it was made part of X Premium membership. Some tools do offer the ability to tweet for free but some tools that do offer free tiers have removed this option for free accounts due to Elon’s price hikes to Twitter/X’s API.

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 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 Tweet scheduler we’ve tested. It’s the perfect choice for users that are focusing on evergreen content. And supports other networks like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.
• 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.
• Sendible is best for those that want a social media tool that does more than share posts to Twitter. Sendible includes an inbox, analytics, report builder, and supports various social platforms.
