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.

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.

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.

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

Connect the same accounts to Quetzal and paste your website. Quetzal reads your brand from it, and the first week is waiting for review in the approval queue.

If your team relies on Sked's inbox and listening, keep them. Quetzal can run the publishing calendar alongside them.

Which one to choose

Choose Quetzal if a caption suggestion is not enough because nobody has time to decide what to post, find the picture and make the reel.
