Reddit10 posts a day, free
Free Reddit scheduler
Write it once, put it in the queue, and it goes out at the hour you picked. 10 posts a day on the free plan, across every network you connect, with no card. The same queue is driveable by your own agent, which is the part most free plans fence off.
What Reddit allows in a post
| Text | 40,000 Unicode code points |
|---|---|
| Images | up to 20, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif |
| Video | 1 per post, .mp4, .mov, up to 15 min, 1 GB |
| Mixing | images or a video in one post, never both |
| Mentions | u/username |
Reddit allows 40,000 characters per post and 20 images, 1 video up to 15 min, from Reddit's own documentation as read on 2026-07-21. Shapeless enforces that table before a draft is queued. The full table is on the Reddit spec page; check a draft yourself with the free Reddit character counter.
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.
Reddit's own free scheduler
Mod tools on reddit.com, and only for moderators of the community.
- 1
Moderators with Manage Posts & Comments permission create a scheduled or recurring post from the post creation flow, or from mod tools under Overview.
- 2
View, edit and delete them under mod tools, Overview, then Scheduled posts.
- 3
Reddit's own note: the feature is only fully available on reddit.com, though scheduled posts can be viewed in the Reddit app.
You moderate the subreddit you are posting to and you want a weekly thread to appear on its own.
- It is a moderator tool for your own community. There is no scheduling for a normal account posting into someone else's subreddit.
- Nothing about it helps with the part that actually decides a Reddit post, which is whether the subreddit wants it at all.
Read from Reddit Help: scheduled and recurring posts on . Platforms move menus; the source is the place to check.
Schedule it by hand
Three screens, and they are the only nouns we use. Manual writes one post yourself and lets any account say it its own way from its preview. Queue drops it into the next free slot for that account, so you never pick an hour twice. Calendar shows the week and lets you drag a post to a different day.
- Connect Reddit once, under Accounts, through Reddit's own sign-in.
- Open Manual, pick the Reddit account, write the post. The preview beside it is Reddit's own chrome, not a rectangle.
- Press Add to queue for the next free slot, Schedule for an exact time, or Post now. All three are always on screen.
When the queue fires. Each connected account carries its own posting times, in your zone. Add to queue drops the post into the next free slot for that account, so you pick the hours once and never pick an hour again. We do not guess a best time for you.
After it is queued. Calendar shows the week; a post still in the queue can be opened and rewritten, dragged to another day, or cancelled, right up to the moment it goes out. An agent sees the same queue through posts_list and posts_get.
Composing, scheduling and publishing never spend credits. The $5 refilled each month is only for the agents that research, write, design and render.
Schedule it from an agent
The same post, the same queue, three interfaces. Mint a scoped key under Settings → API keys, or add our Reddit MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own host and let it call posts_create. Tools that publish are flagged, so the host asks you first.
curl -X POST https://shapelessai.com/api/posts \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SHAPELESS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"connectionId":"CONNECTION_ID","postText":"What we learned rebuilding onboarding for a small SaaS","queue":true}'{
"name": "posts_create",
"arguments": {
"connectionId": "CONNECTION_ID",
"text": "What we learned rebuilding onboarding for a small SaaS",
"queue": true
}
}shapeless posts create --to CONNECTION_ID --text "What we learned rebuilding onboarding for a small SaaS" --queueSwap "queue": true for "scheduledAt": "2026-09-20T09:00:00Z" to pin an exact minute; leave both out and it publishes now.
Over the daily cap the API answers 402 with free_daily_cap, the limit and the reset time, so an agent can wait rather than retry blindly.
Questions
- Is there a free Reddit scheduler?
- Yes, two kinds. Reddit schedules posts itself - mod tools on reddit.com, and only for moderators of the community. You moderate the subreddit you are posting to and you want a weekly thread to appear on its own. Ours is free too: 10 posts a day across every network you connect, no card, and the same queue is driveable by your own agent.
- How many characters can a Reddit post be?
- 40,000, and 20 images, 1 video up to 15 min, from Reddit's own documentation as we last read it on 2026-07-21. We enforce the same table before a draft is queued, so a post that breaks a rule is fixed rather than rejected at publish time.
- Can an AI agent schedule my Reddit posts?
- Yes, on the free plan. Add https://shapelessai.com/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP host and the posts_create tool schedules through your connected Reddit account, or call POST /api/posts with a scoped key, or run the CLI. Publishing tools are flagged so the host asks you before anything goes out.
- Can I schedule a first comment on Reddit?
- No, and we will not pretend otherwise. firstComment is accepted for LinkedIn, X and Bluesky only; on Reddit the API answers 422 and names the rule. Reddit has no equivalent we can publish reliably.
- What does the free plan cost me later?
- Nothing for the rail. Scheduling and publishing never spend credits. The $5 refilled each month is for the agents that research, write, design and render - a paid plan refills more of it and lifts the daily cap.
10 Reddit posts a day, free, plus $5 of credits every month for the agents that make them.
