Quetzal vs Flick: the Flick alternative that makes the posts

Flick's assistant plans your month and writes captions, then leaves video to you. Quetzal plans the week, designs the posts, makes the reels and publishes them.

Quick answer

Pick Quetzal if you want your social media done for you: posts planned from your brand, written in your voice and published to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X and YouTube. Pick Flick if Instagram is your main network and hashtag research and Instagram analytics are the tools you use most.

Quetzal starts at $116 a month per brand, or $89 a month billed yearly (Starter). Unlimited posts on every plan. Plans differ in connected accounts, designed images a month and AI reels, which start on Pro.

Flick prints its prices in pounds, so we do not show them here: compare them on its own pricing page. Its refund policy also covers the first days after a trial ends.

Where Quetzal is different

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.

Finished reels, ready to publish

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.

Six networks from one plan

Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X and YouTube, each with its own version of the post and its own publishing schedule.

Next week is planned from last week's results

Every post is measured, and what worked on your own accounts shapes what comes next. No report to read.
