  5. 5. Metricool

    Metricool plans and schedules posts on a calendar, reports on performance and handles messages in one place. The Free plan covers 1 brand, up to 20 scheduled posts per month, 5 competitor profiles and 30 days of analytics. Paid plans are priced by number of brands, not by user.

    Watch out: A Google Play reviewer said the app forgets connections and often will not upload a short video.

  6. 6. Infinall AI

    Infinall AI saves your brand once from your website, including your logo, colours, voice and products, 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. You can also boost a published post as a paid ad from your own ad account.

    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 store's buyers come from. If most traffic comes from Instagram, a scheduler with a link in bio page, such as Later, helps turn followers into product page visits. If Pinterest sends shoppers, Tailwind is built for it: it syncs content from Shopify and can turn a product URL into a new Pin every week. If you sell across several networks, a general scheduler like Buffer or Metricool covers more of them for less.

Next, decide who makes the posts. A Shopify catalogue needs a steady flow of product photos, short videos and captions. Plain schedulers expect you to bring that media. Predis.ai and Infinall AI make it for you: Predis.ai from a product link, and Infinall AI from your saved brand, which already holds your products, logo and voice.

Then count posts and accounts. Buffer Free has 10 scheduled posts per channel, Metricool Free up to 20 posts per month, and Later Starter 30 posts per profile. A store that posts new products daily will outgrow those limits fast, so price the plan you will need in three months, not today.

Finally, check how you pay. Some tools bill through the Shopify App Store and others directly. One Predis.ai reviewer reported being charged both ways, so pick one billing route and check your statement after the first month. Test a video post and a carousel during the free plan or trial before you commit to a yearly price.

What a Shopify store needs from a scheduling tool

A Shopify store posts to sell, so the scheduler has to do more than fill a calendar:

  • Support for the networks your buyers use, often Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and TikTok.
  • A way to send people to products, such as a link in bio page or Pins that link to product pages.
  • Fast media creation, because every new product needs photos, short videos and a caption.
  • A comment and message inbox, so questions about sizes or shipping get an answer.
  • Reports that show which posts drove clicks.
  • A price that fits a store with one or two people running marketing.

Approval workflows and client workspaces matter to agencies managing many stores, not to most single-store owners, so you can skip plans built around them.

Free plans and trials compared

Four of these tools let you start without paying:

  • Buffer Free: up to 3 channels, 10 scheduled posts per channel, 1 user.
  • Metricool Free: 1 brand, up to 20 posts per month, 30 days of analytics.
  • Tailwind: free to start with no credit card required. The pricing page does not list the limits of the free tier, so check tailwindapp.com before you plan around it.
  • Infinall AI Free: 1,000 credits every month, no card. You can plan and schedule on the calendar and get a reminder at the post time, but automatic publishing needs a connected account, which is Pro.

Later offers 14 days free. Predis.ai starts every plan with 3 days free, but it takes a card and charges it when day 3 ends, so cancel before then if it is not for you.

What it costs for a typical store

Here are the entry prices for a store posting to three accounts, from each pricing page in October 2026:

  • Buffer Essentials: $5 per month per channel, so $15 a month for three.
  • Tailwind Pin Scheduling & Creation: $17.99 per month billed yearly, Pinterest only.
  • Later Starter: $18.75 per month, billed yearly.
  • Predis.ai Core: $19 per month billed yearly, with no auto posting. Auto posting starts on Rise at $40 per month billed yearly.
  • Metricool Starter: $25 per month for up to 5 brands.
  • 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 product posts you already have, Buffer is the cheapest. Infinall AI and Predis.ai cost more than a plain scheduler for publishing alone, and make sense when they also replace a design or video tool.

Where Infinall AI fits for Shopify sellers

Infinall AI is a content studio with a scheduler built in. You add your store's website once and it builds a Brand Brain with your logo, colours, voice and products, reading up to 20 pages. From there you make product 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.

Shopify is also in the connectors directory, so chat can work with your real store data. Connectors are free to add and use no credits, and chat replies follow the normal chat cost. Infinall does not buy media for you: boosting a post charges the budget to your own ad account. A Pinterest specialist such as Tailwind goes deeper on Pins, and Buffer is cheaper if scheduling is all you need.
