    3.0 on Google Play from 1,993 ratings (checked October 2026)

  6. 6. Infinall AI

    Infinall AI saves your brand once from your website, then makes images, motion videos, video (Pro), voiceovers and captions in that brand. The Social Hub calendar plans, schedules and publishes posts, and planning, scheduling and publishing never use credits. With a connected Google Business account, the Reviews tab lets you reply to reviews, with an AI draft if you want one.

    Watch out: Connecting accounts so posts publish by themselves is Pro only, with 2 free connections, then 300 credits a month for each extra account. On Free, scheduled posts become reminders.

How to choose

Start with where your patients look. For most practices that is the Google Business profile, Instagram and Facebook. Check that the tool posts to Google Business: Buffer, SocialBee, Pallyy and SocialPilot all list it. If Google Business matters most to you, test a post there during the free plan or trial.

Next, count locations and accounts. A single practice on three accounts fits Buffer Free or Buffer Essentials at $5 per month per channel. SocialBee Bootstrap covers up to 5 profiles for $29 a month. A group with several locations is better served by tools built around sets or brands: Pallyy gives each location its own social set, and Metricool prices by brand.

Then think about reviews. Patients read reviews before they book, and an unanswered review looks careless. SocialPilot and Infinall AI both let you reply to Google Business reviews, and Pallyy's inbox covers reviews too.

Decide who makes the content. Every tool here schedules, but someone still has to make the photos, short videos and captions. If your team or an agency already does that, a plain scheduler is enough. If nobody does, a tool that makes media from your brand saves a second subscription.

Finally, test with a real video. Several reviews on this page mention failed video uploads and dropped connections, so post a short clip to every network you use before paying for a year.

What a dental practice needs from a scheduling tool

Social media at a dental practice is usually handled by a front desk lead, a practice manager or an outside agency, between other jobs. That shapes what matters:

  • Posting to Google Business, not only Instagram and Facebook, because that is where local patients find you.
  • A calendar you can fill once a week with tips, team introductions, office news and seasonal reminders.
  • A way to answer comments and Google reviews quickly.
  • Approvals, if an agency or a marketing assistant writes posts that the dentist signs off.
  • A mobile app that uploads photos and short videos reliably.

Keep patient privacy in mind whatever tool you choose: only post patient photos or stories with the patient's written consent, and follow the rules for your country and your dental board. No scheduler checks this for you.

Free plans and trials compared

Three of the tools here have a free plan you can keep:

  • Buffer Free: up to 3 channels, 10 scheduled posts per channel, 1 user.
  • Pallyy Free: one social set and 15 scheduled posts a month, image posts only.
  • Metricool Free: 1 brand, up to 20 posts per month, 30 days of analytics.

Infinall AI Free gives 1,000 credits every month with no card. You can plan and schedule on the calendar and get a reminder at the post time, but automatic publishing and review replies need a connected account, which is Pro.

SocialBee and SocialPilot have a 14-day free trial and no free plan after that.

What it costs a single practice

Entry prices for one practice posting to three accounts, from each pricing page in October 2026:

  • Buffer Essentials: $5 per month per channel, so $15 a month for three.
  • Pallyy Pro: $25 per month for one social set with unlimited posts.
  • Metricool Starter: $25 per month for up to 5 brands.
  • SocialBee Bootstrap: $29 per month billed monthly, up to 5 profiles.
  • SocialPilot Standard: INR 1700 per month billed annually, or INR 2000 per month billed monthly. The pricing page shows rupee prices, so check the page for your currency.
  • Infinall AI Pro: $10 for the first month, then $30 a month with 3,000 credits. Two account connections are free, and the third costs 300 credits a month.

If you only need to queue posts you already have, Buffer is the cheapest. Infinall AI costs more than a plain scheduler for publishing alone, and makes sense when the monthly credits also replace a design or video tool.

Where Infinall AI fits

Infinall AI is a content studio with a scheduler built in, not a scheduler first. You add your practice website once and it saves your logo, colours and voice. From there you make images, motion videos, voiceovers and captions on brand, add them to a post on the Social Hub calendar and pick a date. A post holds up to 20 files, and a failed send is tried again up to 3 times before it shows as Failed.

The Comments tab covers connected Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Threads and TikTok accounts, and the Reviews tab lists your Google Business reviews. A review reply holds up to 500 characters. A dedicated scheduler such as Buffer or SocialBee has more publishing options and is cheaper if scheduling is all you need.
