How to schedule posts on Instagram

The big question that anyone asks when managing an Instagram account is: “Can I schedule my posts to be published automatically? Until relatively recently it was not possible, but a multitude of tools have been born that fulfill this function. We compile some of the most popular ones and tell you about their main features.

Socialgest

Suitable for computers and with one free publication per day. Its platform is simple and intuitive and has a calendar view that clearly shows your planning. You can also make batch uploads from an excel file, although this is a paid option but when you have your monthly plan ready, it will be very useful. It will show you statistics and you can download simple reports with all your figures, in addition to the Hashtracking function that helps you measure the engagement of your hashtag.

Storyheap

The only tool so far that allows you to schedule stories is Storyheap. It shows statistics and you can design the stories from the app itself. But it is paid: $49 for the cheapest option with 100 uploads per month. Cheer up, you have 7 days free to try it before deciding to pay.

Planoly

Formerly called Planogram, it is very visual and intuitive. Another change is that it now has a free plan, so it has climbed many positions among the most downloaded (since a few months ago it could only be used without paying for 30 days). But its cheapest option costs only 7$ and content uploads are unlimited.

Onlypulp

No free option, although you have a 7-day free trial. Looking at it from the positive side, for $10.5 you can control 3 accounts with unlimited posts and analytics.

Schedugr.am

It is one of the oldest in the market, since it has been in existence for 3 years. It can only be used free of charge for the first 7 days. You can give access to different people to the account to schedule under the same profile, and it will show you a list with the name, date and post published so you do not miss anything.

Wisel.it

It is an application available for both iOS and Android. From the mobile it works in a very similar way to Instagram only here, obviously, you can schedule the publications. With the free plan you can link an account and make 10 posts per day. Not bad! Of course, you must have less than 1000 followers.
