How much does Typefully actually cost?

Free is real: one social set, one user, ten posts a month, with API and MCP included. Creator is $99 a year, annual billing only, which works out around $8.25 a month. Business is $18 a month per social set billed yearly, with unlimited users and up to 50 sets. Verified from their pricing page on 2026-09-06 - the numbers render behind a slider, so a plain fetch of that page returns nothing useful.

Can Typefully post to Instagram or TikTok?

No. It publishes to X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon. If your audience is on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, Typefully cannot reach them and we can.

Which is better for X threads?

Typefully. Its editor and its X analytics are better than ours for that specific job, and it is a tenth of the price. We are the better answer when the thread is one of five things you need this week and you have not written any of them.

Typefully gives API and MCP away free. Do you?

We include API, CLI and MCP on every paid plan, and our free tier is $5 of credit rather than a permanent allowance. On agent access alone, Typefully's free tier is the better deal - what our agents can be asked to do is the difference.

Shapeless vs Typefully

Pick Typefully if

You write, you enjoy writing, and you want the best editor for X and LinkedIn threads at the lowest price in this list. Typefully is excellent and very cheap.

Pick Shapeless if

You do not want to write. You want researched posts, designed carousels and narrated video to arrive already made.

Side by side

Where Typefully wins

A comparison page that finds nothing good to say about the other product is an advertisement. These are the reasons to buy theirs.

Price. $99 a year is the cheapest paid tier in this comparison by a wide margin, and the free tier is genuinely usable.
API, MCP and agent access on the free plan. Nobody else here gives that away.
The editor itself. For writing threads, it is better than anything we ship.
X analytics with profile conversion rate and CSV export, which is deeper than our own per-post metrics on that network.

Where we win

We make the media. Typefully is text plus uploads; we design carousels and generate narrated video.
Ten networks including Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, which Typefully does not publish to at all.
Research before writing, and agents that draft the whole week rather than a blank editor waiting for you.
Unlimited posting volume on a plan, against 10 posts a month on their free tier.
