Freeno card
A free agentic social media scheduler for humans and AI agents
10 posts a day to every network you connect, from a composer or from your own agent, plus $5 of credits every month for the part that is actually hard: making the post. No card, nothing expires.
- Rail
- 10 posts a day, per UTC day
- Networks
- Nine live, Reddit on approval
- Credits
- $5 a month, refilled
- Interfaces
- Web, MCP, REST, CLI
What Free includes
- 10 posts a day through the rail, counted per UTC day.
- Every platform you connect: 12 live today, Reddit the day its app approval lands.
- AI Scheduler to write one post yourself, Queue for the next free slot, Calendar to see the week.
- Per-platform previews, so you see the post in the feed's own chrome before it goes.
- The REST API, the hosted MCP server and the CLI; the MCP server is added as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT.
- $5 of credits every month, refilled, for the agents that write, design and render.
- No card to start, and nothing expires after a fortnight.
What agentic means here
A scheduler is agentic when an AI agent can run it end to end without a person in the loop: connect, compose, queue, publish and read the refusals, through MCP, an API or a CLI. On Free, that is:
- Everything a person can do in the editor, an agent can do through the hosted MCP server, the REST API or the CLI, on the same account and the same 10-a-day cap.
- Claude and ChatGPT sign in through OAuth; your own code uses a scoped key. No network token ever reaches the chat app.
- The API says why when it refuses: post 11 of the day answers 402 with the code, the limit and the reset time, so the agent can plan instead of retrying.
- $5 of credits a month so the agent also makes the post, written, designed or rendered, not only sends it.
What it is not
Every free plan in this category has a wall. Ours is credits, not days, and here is exactly where it stands.
- The rail stops at 10 posts a day. The API answers 402 with the reset time rather than failing quietly.
- X charges per post, and 13 times more for one with a link, so Free posts to X once a day and without links. Scheduler, $9 a month, lifts both caps: no daily limit and 150 X posts a month, links included.
- $5 a month buys a handful of written posts or a designed carousel, not a week of narrated video. Rendering a short costs real money and we do not pretend otherwise.
- Standing agents that wake on a schedule and draft the week start on Growth.
- Scheduling and publishing never spend credits. Only the agents that make things do.

How it works, in three moves
Connect an account
Sign in, open Accounts, and connect each network through its own sign-in. No developer app, no API key for the network, nothing pasted anywhere.
Write it once
AI Scheduler takes one post you wrote and lets any account say it its own way from its preview. Queue drops it in the next free slot, Calendar shows the week, and the preview is the feed's own chrome.
Or let an agent do it
Add https://shapelessai.com/mcp to Claude or ChatGPT, or point your own code at the REST API or the CLI. The same account, the same queue, the same 10 a day.
What you see before you connect anything
What an agent sends
Claude and ChatGPT sign in once through the MCP server; a coding agent takes a key and the docs. The same queue and the same daily cap as the editor.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Claude Code once, or give a coding agent an API key (Settings → API keys) and the docs, then say what to post. It finds your accounts and the queue on its own.

Pick your network
One page per network: its real limits, its own free scheduler described honestly, and the exact call an agent makes.
Reddit: waiting on Reddit's app approval. The publishing path is built and tested; until Reddit approves the app, a Reddit post is drafted and queued rather than sent.
Pinterest: our app is on Pinterest's trial access until they approve standard access, so a pin we publish may be visible only to you until then.

The free plans, side by side
The most an agent can do for nothing: 10 posts a day is 300 a month, to 12 networks with no account cap, and ours is the only free plan where the agent also makes the post. Every cell is from the vendor's own page; the full survey covers 26.

Questions
- Is it actually free, or is it a trial?
- Free. The rail - composing, queueing, scheduling, publishing - is 10 posts a day with no card and no expiry. What runs out is credits: $5 refilled every month for the agents that research, write, design and render. Scheduling never spends them.
- What happens on post 11 of the day?
- The API answers 402 with code free_daily_cap, the limit, the time it resets and the Scheduler plan ($9/month) that lifts it, and the composer says the same thing. X is stricter because X bills us per post: one X post a day and no links (free_x_daily_cap, free_x_link). Nothing is silently dropped. The count is per UTC day and covers every post that goes out that day, whether you wrote it, your agent sent it, or you approved a proposal our agents made.
- What makes a social media scheduler agentic?
- A scheduler is agentic when an AI agent can run it end to end without a person in the loop: connect, compose, queue, publish and read the refusals, through MCP, an API or a CLI. Ours adds the part that is usually missing: the agent gets the post made too, inside $5 of monthly credits.
- Can my own AI agent use the free plan?
- Yes, and that is the point of the plan. The hosted MCP server at https://shapelessai.com/mcp, the REST API at /api/posts and the CLI are all on Free. Add the server to Claude or ChatGPT with OAuth and no API key, or mint a scoped key for your own code.
- Which platforms can I post to on the free plan?
- All of them: LinkedIn, LinkedIn Pages, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook Pages, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, Discord and Pinterest. Reddit: waiting on Reddit's app approval. The publishing path is built and tested; until Reddit approves the app, a Reddit post is drafted and queued rather than sent. Pinterest: our app is on Pinterest's trial access until they approve standard access, so a pin we publish may be visible only to you until then.
- Is this the only free MCP scheduler?
- No. Buffer, Typefully and zernio each put MCP on a free plan too. Ours is the only one where the agent also makes the post, a designed carousel or a narrated short, inside a monthly credit. It is also the only cap counted per day: 10 a day is 300 a month, thirty times Typefully's free plan, with no per-channel queue and no account cap.
- Do I need a developer app for each network?
- No. You connect each account once, under Accounts, through the network's own sign-in. We hold that connection; your chat app never sees a network token, and you never paste a key into it either.
Free forever. 10 posts a day to every network, plus $5 of AI credits on us every month. No card.
