Where Quetzal is different

The week arrives planned and written

Quetzal reads your website and brand kit, plans the week and writes every post in your voice. You open a finished week instead of an empty calendar.

Designed posts and carousels in your brand

Quetzal designs posts, carousels and stories in your colours and type, so every account looks like one brand. Designed images come on every plan, and posts from your own photos are unlimited.

LinkedIn written to its own rules

LinkedIn posts follow a dedicated engine: one point for one reader, a hook from a fixed set of proven mechanisms, a single clear ask at the end and no hashtags. Your other networks get their own version of each idea.

Spanish written as Spanish

Posts are written in your brand's language and composed natively rather than translated, with the regional variant you choose (Spain, Mexico, Argentina and more). The app itself works in English and Spanish.

What it costs at your size

One brand, three accounts

Circleboom

Monthly billing on both sides, each tool in its own unit (Circleboom: per subscription). An account is one connected social profile. Three brands on Quetzal share one agency invoice, with the agency discount already applied.

Switching from Circleboom

Connect your accounts to Quetzal and paste your website. Instead of starting from a template, Quetzal designs each post in your colours and type and writes the words that go with it.

If you use Circleboom to share new blog articles through RSS, you can leave that running. Let Quetzal handle the rest of the week, and look at both calendars during the first few weeks.
