Typefully alternatives

This page is about leaving, not about buying us. What breaks, what carries over, what you should check before you cancel - and the alternatives that are not Shapeless, including staying where you are.

Why people leave Typefully

  • Your audience moved to feeds Typefully does not publish to: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube.
  • Ten posts a month on the free tier stopped being enough and you would rather buy output than allowance.
  • You need images, carousels and video, and Typefully is text with uploads.

Check these before you cancel

In the order they bite. Some of these turn out to be reasons to stay, and it is cheaper to find that out now than after the subscription lapses.

  • The editor. If writing is the part you enjoy, leaving Typefully is a real loss - and its Creator tier is cheap enough to keep alongside anything.
  • X analytics. Profile conversion rate and CSV export are theirs; our per-post metrics are shallower on X.
  • Whether you need more than five networks at all.

What carries over

  • Drafts are plain text. Copy them out; nothing is trapped.
  • Accounts reconnect through each platform's OAuth.

Where to go instead

3 honest answers, one of which is staying where you are. We are last on purpose - if one of the others fits you better, take it.

  1. Stay on TypefullyAt $99 a year with API and MCP on the free tier, it is the best value in this comparison. Leave only for a capability, never for price.
  2. HypefuryThe other writing-first X and LinkedIn tool, more focused on monetisation mechanics than on the editor.
  3. ShapelessIf you need Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and want the media made rather than uploaded.

Questions about moving

Is there a free Typefully alternative?
Buffer's free plan covers three channels and ten scheduled posts each, and reaches Instagram and TikTok, which Typefully does not. Postiz is free if you self-host. Ours is not free.
Can I keep Typefully for X and use something else elsewhere?
Yes, and at $99 a year that is often the right answer. Nothing about our posts is locked to our publisher.
