The best Later alternatives that support X are iHatePosting, Buffer, Hootsuite, SocialBee, Planable and Agorapulse. Later's help center says it ended X support in August 2025, and it prices by social set with post caps on the lower plans. We compare each option on X support and price, checked November 2026.
We make iHatePosting, so it is listed first and we say so. Every competitor figure below comes from that tool's own page.
Key takeaways
- Later's pricing page lists eight networks (Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and Snapchat), and X is not among them.
- Later prices by social set: Starter is $18.75 a month billed yearly for 1 set, Growth $37.50 for 2 sets and Scale $82.50 for 6 sets.
- Starter lists 30 posts per profile and Growth lists 180 per profile per month; Scale lists unlimited posts.
- Buffer, Hootsuite, SocialBee, Planable and Agorapulse each list X among their networks.
Why look for a Later alternative?
Three facts on Later's own pages explain most searches for a Later alternative:
- X is gone. Later's help center announces the end of X support in August 2025, and the supported-network list on its pricing page names eight networks without X.
- Pricing is per social set. A social set holds one profile from each of Later's supported networks. Growth and Scale add extra sets at $11.25 a month each, and extra users at $3.75 a month each.
- Posts are capped on lower plans. Starter lists 30 posts per profile and Growth lists 180 per profile per month. Scale lists unlimited.
