Quetzal vs Postcron: the Postcron alternative that makes the posts

Postcron queues the posts you bring, one at a time or from a spreadsheet. Quetzal writes and designs them from your brand, then 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 Postcron if you already write your posts, like to upload them in batches and want the smallest possible monthly bill, from $9.99 a month per subscription (Personal).

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.

Postcron costs less and has a free plan. Quetzal costs more because its price covers making the posts, not only publishing them.

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.

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.

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.

Monthly billing on both sides, each tool in its own unit (Postcron: 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 Postcron

There is nothing to export. Connect your Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok and X accounts to Quetzal, paste your website, and Quetzal drafts the first week from your brand for you to review.

If you still have posts waiting in a Postcron spreadsheet, keep publishing them there while Quetzal fills the rest of the calendar. Pinterest stays with Postcron: Quetzal publishes to six networks and Pinterest is not one of them.
