Sociopilots is an open-source social media scheduler offered as free self-hosted software or paid managed hosting. It schedules posts to connected accounts and can add an automatic follow-up comment after a post publishes. X (Twitter) and LinkedIn are available for scheduling and automatic first comments. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, and Reddit are listed as coming soon. The product describes AI tools for predicting posting times, analyzing content, scoring engagement, and predictive analytics. AI content generation, automatic publishing, and approval workflows are also listed. Developers can access posts, accounts, and scheduling through a GraphQL API. Self-hosted deployment uses Docker on a server the user controls. Sociopilots says it uses platform OAuth, does not see or store social passwords, and encrypts access and refresh tokens at rest. The free Community plan includes unlimited connected accounts, scheduled posts, and users. Managed plans start at $15.00 per month, and each starts with a free trial that requires no credit card. Starter includes 100 scheduled posts per month; Growth, Pro, and Agency list unlimited scheduled posts.
Who it is for
The free self-hosted option may suit people who want to run an open-source scheduler on their own server. The managed plans are aimed at solo creators, small brands and marketers, growing teams, and agencies, with account and user allowances that vary by plan.
