A Publer alternative that makes the posts, then schedules them
Publer schedules to 13 networks, priced per account, with a real free plan, bulk uploads and an AI assistant for captions and images. QuQi starts a step earlier. Its Social Copywriter works from your website and brand kit, writes a post worded for each channel, makes the picture or carousel to go with it and puts it on the crew’s calendar.
Why people look for an alternative to Publer
Most people who search for a Publer alternative are happy with how it schedules. The reasons below come from its own plans page and from what its reviewers ask for.
The bill follows your profile count
Publer prices each social account, and extra team members are charged on top. Analytics, recycling and the API sit on Business, so a brand that wants reports moves every profile to that plan.
AI Assist helps, you still make the post
Its AI drafts captions, hashtags and images when you ask for them. Deciding what to say each day, and building a visual that looks like your brand, stays with you or your designer.
A system someone has to run
Reviewers mention a learning curve. Queues, workspaces, recycling rules and per-network edits all need setting up, and the calendar stays full only while someone keeps adding to it.
What QuQi does instead
In QuQi those jobs belong to teammates who work from your website, on days you can see on the calendar.
Writes one post a day for every connected channel, each version with its own hook, and adds a picture or carousel laid out in your fonts, logo and colours.
Makes a short video every Friday, with a voice, music and stock footage, and your products if you sell online. It waits in the library until you post it there or from the chat.
Researches a keyword, writes the article in your voice and publishes it to WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Ghost or Notion, so your posts have fresh pages to link to.
Audits your site against 56 checks every Monday, so the pages your posts send people to stay in good shape.
Publer 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 Publer is the better pick
QuQi is not the answer to everything Publer does. Stay with it, or use both, if this sounds like you.
- You run many profiles and want a low price per account, with a free plan for up to 3 of them.
- You post to Mastodon, Telegram or Bluesky, which sit outside QuQi’s nine channels.
- You want post analytics, suggested posting times, competitor reports and CSV uploads of up to 500 posts at once.
Moving from Publer to QuQi
- 01
Connect the channels you share
Link the Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, Pinterest, X, Google Business or YouTube accounts you want QuQi to post to. Profiles on Mastodon, Telegram or Bluesky can stay in Publer.
- 02
Let it learn the brand first
QuQi reads your website when you add it and builds a brand kit and a social strategy from it. Paste your Publer Brand Voice notes into Social Copywriter’s Instructions box if you want them kept.
- 03
Split the calendar for a few weeks
Keep your queues and recycled posts in Publer, and set the Social posts switch so QuQi’s daily posts wait for your OK. Once they read right, let them go out on their own.

Publer alternative: common questions
Is there a free Publer alternative?
Publer’s own free plan is a good one if all you need is scheduling: one user and up to 3 accounts. On QuQi, the free plan runs an audit and an analysis of your website, so you see what the crew finds first. Writing posts and publishing them start on a paid plan.
Which Publer alternative makes the picture for each post?
QuQi does. Social Copywriter pairs every post with a visual made for it: a picture or a carousel laid out with the fonts, logo and colours your website uses. The words on it are set as type, never drawn by an AI model.
Can QuQi post to Mastodon, Telegram or Bluesky?
No. QuQi posts to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, Pinterest, X and Google Business, and sends videos to YouTube. If those other networks matter to you, Publer covers them.
Does QuQi have an MCP server like Publer?
Yes. QuQi’s MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor write a post, schedule or publish it and check the site’s health, with each action previewed and confirmed. Publer’s MCP server comes with its Business plan.
Can I bring my own photos to QuQi?
Yes. Drop a photo or a video into the chat, or pick one from the library, and QuQi posts it with the caption you write.
