Preview review: strengths, pricing and who it's for
Looking for Preview alternatives? The Preview app is built for Instagram, TikTok and Facebook grid planning at a low price — Pro is $6.67 a month, Premium $12.50, with a genuinely permanent free tier (1 user, 1 device). Its scope is deliberately narrow: 3 platforms, and no described agency or bulk-scheduling features.
Preview’s free plan and low entry price are genuine strengths for a single Instagram-first creator. It is not built for agency-scale, multi-platform publishing: 3 platforms, and no described bulk import, approvals or multi-client workspaces. SkedCast covers 11 platforms with true bulk import and agency workspaces built in.
What does Preview offer?
- A genuinely permanent free plan, not just a trial
