Which social media schedulers support Mastodon?

Schedulin, Buffer, Publer, Hypefury, CoSchedule, Zoho Social, and Postiz publish to Mastodon directly. Later, Sprout Social, Agorapulse, Sendible, and SocialPilot don't list it, and SocialBee and some others only support it through reminders or Zapier.

Can I schedule posts to any Mastodon server?

Yes, in most of these tools. Schedulin, Buffer, and Publer connect to any instance: you enter your server's address and approve the app there. Self-hosted Postiz is the exception, connecting to a single server set in its configuration.

Is there a free Mastodon scheduler?

Yes. Buffer and CoSchedule both include Mastodon on their free plans, and Postiz is free if you self-host it. Schedulin has a 7-day free trial with no credit card.
