The best X (Twitter) scheduling tools in 2026
X's API pricing has reshaped this category. Hypefury dropped X entirely in 2026, Metricool now charges an add-on per X account, and several tools still can't schedule a full thread. These are the best X (Twitter) scheduling tools in 2026 that still publish to X properly, ranked.
Schedulin is our top pick: full threads, polls, quote posts, reply controls, and Communities from $5/mo, with no per-X-account fee and no X Premium required. Buffer is the best pick with a free plan.
