Later
Instagram/TikTok-first visual planner with Link in Bio and an enterprise influencer suite. Post caps on the lower tiers, no X support, no API, and a 1.5 Trustpilot driven by surprise renewals.
How we testLater (founded 2014 in Vancouver as Latergramme; owned by Mavrck/Summit Partners since 2022, now Boston/Toronto/Vancouver) is the consumer-brand and creator tool: a visual Instagram grid planner, Link in Bio on every plan, AI caption writer, best-time-to-post, and, at enterprise level, Later Influence, an influencer discovery and campaign platform with affiliate tracking via Mavely. It covers Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube Shorts and Snapchat, but dropped X in 2023 and Bluesky and Google Business Profile support could not be confirmed.
Pricing is USD with a steep 33% monthly premium: Starter $25 monthly / $18.75 annual for one social set (8 profiles), 1 user and 30 posts per profile a month; Growth $50 / $37.50 for 2 sets, 2 users, 180 posts and approvals; Scale $110 / $82.50 for 6 sets, 4 users, unlimited posts and competitor benchmarking. No public API for Later Social, no MCP, and no free plan visible on the current pricing page. Trustpilot is 1.5/5 on 349 reviews, polarised (49% five-star, 39% one-star). The one-stars are almost entirely surprise auto-renewal charges and refused refunds, plus Instagram connection failures.
