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.
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.
From Pro, Quetzal makes AI reels for you: a presenter says a script written from your brand, with captions timed to each word. Each reel publishes like any other post.
Every post is measured, and what worked on your own accounts shapes what comes next. No report to read.

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

Quetzal drafts the week and holds it for your approval. If you also schedule social messages in CoSchedule, such as evergreen reposts with ReQueue, check both calendars so one day does not get two posts.
Choose Quetzal if the calendar is set up but the social slots stay empty because nobody has time to make the posts.

Yes. A good split is CoSchedule for planning blog posts, projects and campaigns, and Quetzal for producing the social posts. Keep an eye on ReQueue so its reposts and Quetzal's posts do not land in the same slot.
Connect your social accounts to Quetzal, paste your website and review the brand kit. Your first week is drafted for approval. There is nothing to export from CoSchedule, and your calendar there stays as it is.
Type your website and see a week of posts made for your brand. Free, and no account needed.
