Bulk scheduling supports uploading up to 350 posts at once via spreadsheet

No free plan available since 2023, with Professional plan starting at $99/month for just one user
Dated, cluttered interface that feels less intuitive compared to modern competitors
Per-user pricing scales quickly, making it expensive for growing teams ($249/month for 3 users)
Typefully
