— Publer alternative · Flat, not a formula

The Publer alternative
without per-account math.

Publer's bill is a calculator: $4–7 per social account plus $2–3 per member, every month, with analytics and API access locked to its Business rate. Zilfu is one flat plan from $19/month — up to 10 accounts, unlimited team members, every feature included. First 2 accounts free, forever.

  • Unlimited team members
  • Approvals on every plan
  • No per-account line items
— The 10-second version

Publer's price is a formula. Zilfu's is a number.

Publer is genuinely cheap for a solo creator with one or two accounts. Multiply accounts and teammates, though, and the calculator takes over — while Zilfu stays flat with everything included.

Zilfu is a flat-rate alternative to Publer: where Publer bills $4–7 per social account plus $2–3 per additional member each month — and reserves analytics and API access for its Business rate — Zilfu is one flat plan from $19/month with unlimited team members, approvals, analytics, a REST API, and a hosted MCP server on every tier. Ten accounts with a 3-person team run about $69/month on Publer Business versus $19 flat on Zilfu Pro. Publer leads on network breadth (Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, WordPress, Google Business, YouTube today) and bulk CSV scheduling; Zilfu focuses on flat pricing, free teammates, and multi-account publishing.

Choose Publer if…

  • You're a solo creator with 1–3 accounts — Publer's sticker price ($0–12/mo) is hard to beat at that scale.
  • You publish to Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, WordPress, Google Business, or YouTube today.
  • You bulk-schedule from CSV (up to 500 posts), auto-post from RSS, or recycle evergreen content with spintax.
  • You want an AI assistant, a browser extension, and a big free-tools suite from a ~10-year-old brand.

Choose Zilfu if…

  • You want one flat price — 10 Instagram accounts on Pro is still $19/month, not a line-item bill.
  • You add teammates and client reviewers freely, without paying $2–3 a seat.
  • You need approvals, analytics, and X publishing from the free tier up, not gated behind paid rates.
  • You build automations — a free REST API, signed webhooks, and a hosted MCP server on every plan.

— Why teams switch

When the calculator starts winning.

Publer is a fair deal for one person with a couple of accounts. Agencies and multi-account teams outgrow the per-account, per-member math fast.

/ 01 Pricing

Flat, not a formula.

Zilfu is $19/mo for up to 10 accounts — including 10 accounts on the same network — with unlimited users. No line items, no spreadsheet to predict your bill.

Publer: $7/account + $3/member on Business — ~$69/mo for 10 accounts and 3 users, ~$642/mo at 100 accounts.
/ 02 Team

Teammates are free.

Invite account managers, freelancers, and client reviewers without buying seats. Every Zilfu plan — including Free — has unlimited members and a read-only Viewer role.

Publer: $2–3/mo per additional member, and the free plan is single-user.
/ 03 Included

Everything on every plan.

Approvals, analytics, X publishing, an unbranded Link in Bio, a REST API, signed webhooks, and a hosted MCP server — included from the Free tier up.

Publer: analytics and API need Business; X is paid-only; the free tier caps pending posts at 10 per account with 24-hour history.

— FAQ

Publer alternative, asked and answered.

Publer bills per account and per member. On the Business tier — the one with analytics and API access — 10 accounts with a 3-person team works out to about $69/month (9 billed accounts at $7 plus 2 extra members at $3, since every 10th account and member is free). Zilfu Pro covers 10 accounts with unlimited team members for a flat $19/month.

Yes — each additional member is $2/month on Professional and $3/month on Business, and the Free plan is single-user. Zilfu includes unlimited team members on every plan, including Free.

No — X is excluded from Publer's free plan, which also caps each account at 10 pending scheduled posts and keeps only 24 hours of post history. Zilfu's Free plan includes X alongside every other supported network, with 2 accounts and 20 posts a month.

Business only — $7 per account plus $3 per member each month. Zilfu includes analytics, a REST API, signed webhooks, and a hosted MCP server on every plan, including Free.

No — Publer's free plan is single-user, so approvals only exist once you pay for additional members. Zilfu ships approvals on every tier, including Free, with free client reviewers and a read-only Viewer role.

No. Publer's network list is genuinely broader — it also publishes to YouTube and WordPress today. Zilfu covers Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, X, LinkedIn, and Threads, with YouTube coming soon, and focuses on flat pricing, approvals, and multi-account publishing on those networks.

One flat price, no per-account math.

Connect every account, invite the whole team for free, and route posts through sign-off — with analytics and an API included on every plan. Free forever, no credit card.
