A Metricool alternative that makes the content it posts
Metricool is a planner and analytics tool that posts to 11 networks, reports on organic and paid results, and has a real free plan. QuQi makes the content itself: each post written for its channel with a picture or carousel in your brand, a short video every week, and articles published to your website.
Why people look for an alternative to Metricool
Three reasons show up again and again when people weigh Metricool against other planners, and most of them trace back to its pricing table.
The pictures are still yours to make
Metricool’s AI assistant drafts and rewrites captions. Outside its Carousel Agent for Claude, the visuals come from Canva, Adobe Express or your own files, so a business without a designer still needs someone for every picture.
LinkedIn, X and approvals mean a step up
The free plan leaves out LinkedIn and X. X is a paid add-on on the paid plans too, and post approvals start on Advanced.
One brand, one profile per network
Metricool counts brands, and each brand holds one profile per network. A business with two Instagram accounts needs two brands, and AI credits are capped per brand each month.
What QuQi does instead
QuQi keeps the posting and adds the making, along with the website work that Metricool measures but does not do.
Writes the day’s post for every connected channel, each version with a hook of its own, and posts it with a picture or carousel laid out in your fonts and colours.
Makes a weekly short video with a voiceover, music and stock footage or your products. You post it from the library or from the chat.
Researches a keyword, writes the article in your voice and sends it to WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Ghost or Notion on Mondays and Thursdays.
Puts the questions your buyers ask to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews each week, and shows which rivals the answers name.
Metricool and QuQi, side by side
QuQi’s column is for a paid plan. The free plan audits and analyses the website, and publishing starts on a paid plan.

When Metricool is the better pick
QuQi is not the answer to everything Metricool does. Stay with it, or use both, if this sounds like you.
- You want a free plan that schedules posts and reports on one brand for as long as you like.
- You report on Meta, Google and TikTok ads beside your organic posts, or answer Google Business reviews from the same place.
- You manage many client brands and want a planner, an inbox, Flows auto-replies and reports for each one.
Moving from Metricool to QuQi
- 01
Hand over the daily posting first
Connect your channels to QuQi and let Social Copywriter take the routine posts. Keep Metricool’s calendar for the campaign posts you plan by hand.
- 02
Let QuQi read your brand
Add your website and QuQi picks up its colours, logo and tone, so the first pictures already look like yours. The Social posts switch decides whether posts go out alone or wait for you.
- 03
Keep the free plan for the numbers
Metricool’s free plan goes on reading one brand’s profiles, with 30 days of history. Watch how QuQi’s posts do there for a month before you decide on a paid tier.

Metricool alternative: common questions
Is Metricool really free?
Yes, for one brand: 20 scheduled posts a month, 30 days of analytics and 5 competitors, without LinkedIn or X. QuQi’s free plan works another way. It audits and analyses your website, and writing and posting start on a paid plan.
Does QuQi design the images for my posts?
Yes. Every post from Social Copywriter comes with a picture or a carousel that uses your website’s fonts, colours and logo. The words on it are set as type, never drawn by an AI model, and you ask for changes in the chat.
Can QuQi post to Google Business like Metricool?
Yes. QuQi posts to Google Business along with Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, Pinterest and X, and to YouTube for video. Metricool also answers Google Business reviews and reaches Bluesky and Twitch, which QuQi does not.
Does QuQi have an inbox or auto-replies like Metricool Flows?
No. QuQi does not read or answer comments and messages, and it has no keyword auto-replies. If the inbox or Flows matter to you, keep Metricool for them.
Is QuQi a good fit for an agency with many brands?
Each website gets its own QuQi crew and its own plan, so an agency pays per client website. Metricool’s brand tiers fit an agency that schedules and reports for many clients. QuQi fits one that also needs the content made.
