Short answer
Pick Blotato if you want AI images, video and voiceovers made for you, and the API and MCP server on every paid plan. Pick Publer if you schedule in bulk, recycle posts or run RSS automations, or have only a few accounts: 3 cost $12 a month on Professional, or nothing on the free plan if X is not one of them. At 10 accounts, Blotato Starter costs $29 and Publer Professional $36.

Where PostDelegate fits
PostDelegate is a lighter alternative to both: a scheduler with flat plans from $19, team members from $29 and the API and MCP server on every plan, with AI on your own assistant or key. It cannot reach Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest or Reddit yet, because those are waiting on platform approval, and X is not available. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial and no card.
