A Pomelli alternative for a brand that posts every day
Pomelli is a free Google Labs experiment that reads your website, builds a Business Profile of your tone, fonts and colours, and turns it into campaign images, product shots and short animations you can post to Instagram. QuQi’s crew works on a calendar: it posts every day to the channels you connect, writes articles for your blog and audits your site each week.
Why people look for an alternative to Pomelli
Google’s own Labs Help pages explain most of what sends people to the Pomelli alternatives lists.
A campaign each time you ask
You open Pomelli, pick a product or type a prompt, review the brief and edit the creatives it returns. Instagram gets a Post now button for a professional account, and for Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn or YouTube, Google’s help page says to download the files and post them yourself.
English only
Pomelli is open in a long list of countries, yet Google lists English as its only supported language. For a business whose customers read Arabic, French or Portuguese, that is often the deciding point.
Products that must stay exact
Google warns that the AI can change a product’s colours, logo or texture, so each image needs a careful look before it goes out. Its help page also notes that sites behind bot protection, such as a captcha, may not work.
What QuQi does instead
At QuQi a teammate picks up each of those needs and keeps at it on a calendar.
Writes one post a day and words it for each channel you connect, from Instagram and Facebook to LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google Business. Each one goes out at its time with a picture or carousel made for it.
Writes in your website’s own language, or another one a calendar job asks for, and publishes the article to your CMS twice a week.
Makes a film of 5 to 90 seconds each Friday, with a voice and a music bed, and for a shop it uses your real product photos, cut out from your own pages.
Audits the same website Pomelli reads for its profile, every Monday against 56 checks, and passes the fixes to Page Optimizer.
Pomelli 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 Pomelli is the better pick
QuQi is not the answer to everything Pomelli does. Stay with it, or use both, if this sounds like you.
- You want on-brand campaign images at no cost, from a tool made by Google.
- You need studio and lifestyle shots made from a single product photo with Photoshoot.
- You also want a simple website and a brand book made from your Business Profile.
Moving from Pomelli to QuQi
- 01
Bring your Pomelli images
Download the creatives and Photoshoot images you like and drop them into QuQi’s chat. Tell the crew where each should run and when, and add the caption you want.
- 02
Your profile, read again
QuQi builds its own brand kit from your website: colours, logo and the words you use and avoid, with fonts taken from your pages. A logo you upload by hand is kept, and your corrections to the business summary win.
- 03
Use Pomelli for the extras
Keep Pomelli for a product photoshoot or a one-off Instagram campaign, and let the crew run the daily posts and the weekly film. If both post to Instagram, decide which one owns the feed.

Pomelli alternative: common questions
Is there a free Pomelli alternative?
Pomelli itself costs nothing to use today, so on price alone it is hard to match. QuQi’s free plan audits your website and reads your business, and pictures, posts and articles start on a paid plan.
Can Pomelli post to Instagram?
Yes, to one professional Instagram account per Pomelli account: you choose Share, pick a format, write a caption and press Post now. Personal accounts are not supported, and other channels need a download. QuQi posts to Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, X, Threads, TikTok and Google Business, and to YouTube for video.
Does Pomelli work in other languages?
Google’s help page lists English as the only supported language. QuQi writes in your website’s language, picked up when it reads the site, and a calendar job can ask for another, such as an article in Arabic every Monday.
Does QuQi keep my logo and products accurate?
Yes, as far as the words and the logo go. Lettering is typeset by code in your site’s fonts, never drawn by an AI model, and the logo is the transparent file from your own site. Product photos are cut out from the images on your shop’s own pages.
Can I use Pomelli and QuQi together?
Yes. Pomelli is handy for a product photoshoot or a quick Instagram campaign, and anything it makes can go into QuQi’s chat to be posted on your other channels. Let QuQi run the daily calendar so you are not making every post by hand.
