Ampli

Your agentic social media scheduler: plan and publish to every channel from one calendar, or let your AI agent schedule for you.

Ampli is your agentic social media scheduler built for creators and small teams. Schedule and publish to TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, YouTube and X, from one calendar and queue. Write once and tailor the caption for each channel, bulk-schedule a week of posts in one go, publish now or save drafts, and post every format that matters: Reels, Stories, carousels, Shorts, Instagram trial reels, TikTok drafts and long posts for X Premium accounts. When the queue runs low, Ampli can fill it with slideshows, carousels and pins built on templates modeled after posts that went viral.

What sets Ampli apart is that it is built for AI agents. Its MCP server and REST API let Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and any MCP client schedule and publish for you on autopilot: upload your photos and videos, post them across every channel on a schedule you describe in plain words, or run one of the preset viral templates to create the post first. Agent access is included on every plan, and posts your agent writes use no Ampli credits.

Best for: Creators, founders and small teams who want one calendar for every channel, run by hand or by their AI agent

Iconosquare

It is built in France, priced by social profiles, and aimed at brands and agencies managing three or more profiles.

Best for: Brands and agencies that live on analytics and reporting

Which one should you choose?

Choose Ampli if…

  • You want bulk scheduling and publish now. Ampli includes both. Iconosquare offers no bulk scheduling and no publish now.
  • You want X and room to post without moving up tiers. Iconosquare adds X only on Launch and caps posts at 30 (Starter) or 100 (Launch) a month. Ampli publishes X posts on every plan, and every paid plan, from $25 a month, includes unlimited posts, with a monthly cap on X posts that contain links (90 on Pro, 150 on Premium).
  • You want an AI agent to publish for you. Ampli's MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor upload media and schedule or publish across every channel from a plain-language request. Iconosquare's MCP is in beta and sends new posts to your calendar as drafts that you confirm in the app.
  • You want help filling the queue. When you need posts to schedule, Ampli makes slideshows, carousels and Pinterest pins from a link, a topic or pasted text. Iconosquare's AI writes captions and suggests ideas but does not design posts.

Iconosquare may suit you if…

  • Analytics is the main reason you are buying. Iconosquare offers custom dashboards, Stories and Reels metrics, competitor and hashtag tracking, industry benchmarks and up to 2 years of history.
  • You report to clients or managers. It schedules PDF and XLS reports by email, and the Custom plan adds white-label reports.
  • You want to reply to comments, DMs and mentions in one inbox (Launch and up) or route posts through approvals (Scale and up).

Frequently asked questions

Is Ampli better than Iconosquare?

For creators and small teams who need to keep posts going out, yes. Ampli has bulk scheduling and publish now, which Iconosquare lacks, includes unlimited posts on every paid plan from $25 a month (X posts with links are capped), and lets your AI agent schedule posts directly. It can also make slideshows, carousels and pins when your queue runs low. Iconosquare fits better if analytics and reporting are the main reason you are buying.

How does Iconosquare pricing compare to Ampli?

Ampli includes unlimited posts on every paid plan: $25 or $49 a month after a 7-day free trial, or $80 for Agency. Iconosquare shows prices in your local currency. In euros, billed yearly, Starter is from €9 a month with 30 posts, Launch from €33 with 100 posts, and unlimited posts start on Scale from €69.

Which tool includes X (Twitter) on every plan?

Can I schedule posts from Claude or ChatGPT?

Ampli's MCP server and REST API let Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other agents upload media and schedule or publish posts directly, on every plan, and posts your own agent writes use no Ampli credits. Iconosquare's MCP server is in beta: it answers questions about your analytics and creates posts as drafts in your calendar, which you then confirm in Iconosquare.

Do both tools have a free plan?

Both do. Ampli's Free plan covers 2 channels and 30 posts a month with no credit card, and Pro and Premium start with a 7-day free trial for first-time subscribers. Iconosquare Free covers 2 profiles and 1 user, with 10 posts a month per profile and 1 month of analytics history.

Does Ampli have analytics like Iconosquare?

Not yet. Ampli focuses on scheduling and publishing across 8 networks from one calendar, and on making posts when your queue runs low. If detailed reporting is what you need now, Iconosquare covers that.

How we compared

We read each tool's public pricing page, feature pages and help center and recorded what every plan includes. Yes means the feature is available as described. Limited means it is only on higher plans, sold as an add-on, or restricted in a way the numbered note explains. No means it is not offered, or we found no documentation of it. Ampli's column lists only features that are live in production today.
