Getting started — SkedCast FAQ
What is SkedCast?
SkedCast is an agency-grade, bulk-first social media scheduling platform. You compose a post once and fan it out across your connected accounts (up to 500 on Agency+) on 11 networks — X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Telegram and Google Business Profile — with anti-ban pacing, approvals, an inbox for comments, messages and reviews, and AI assistance.
Who is SkedCast for?
SkedCast is built for agencies, social media managers, and brands that manage many accounts at once. Bulk import, multi-account fan-out, per-client roles, and tenant-isolated workspaces are designed for teams running social for many clients and influencers: client workspaces by plan are 1 on Free, 3 on Solo, 15 on Studio, 50 on Agency and 150 on Agency+, and Enterprise is quoted for more.
Is there a free trial?
Signing up is free and takes no credit card — every new workspace starts on the Free plan (2 connected accounts). Each workspace can then start one 7-day Studio trial from the console, also without a card. If you do nothing, the workspace simply returns to Free when it ends and we never charge you. If you add a card during the trial, you are charged only from the day the trial ends, and you can cancel before then to pay nothing.
Do you have a referral program?
Give a month, get a month: your friend's first month is free on any monthly plan, and you get one month of their plan as credit (up to $49), released 30 days after their first paid invoice. Up to 10 rewards a year; credit expires 12 months after release. Annual plans already include 20% off, so no extra discount applies — your friend still earns their reward.
Do I need to install anything?
No. SkedCast runs entirely in your browser. You connect your social accounts through each platform’s official sign-in (Bluesky uses an app password and Telegram a bot token), and you are ready to schedule — nothing to download or install.
Platforms & publishing
Which social networks does SkedCast support?
SkedCast publishes natively to X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, and Telegram. Telegram channels connect with a bot token and Bluesky with a handle and an app password; every other network connects through its official sign-in.
Can I post the same content to multiple platforms at once?
Yes — that is the core of SkedCast. Compose a post once and fan it out across every account you choose, with each destination receiving a per-platform variant tuned to that network’s format and limits.
How does SkedCast avoid duplicate or missed posts?
SkedCast is built to avoid double-posting: each publish carries a unique ID that the database enforces, and a retry first checks with the platform whether the post already went out. Failed posts are retried with backoff before being surfaced for review, so nothing silently disappears. A few platforms cannot be queried after a lost response; there, a post in doubt is flagged for a person to check rather than blindly retried. That is best-effort reconciliation, not a guarantee.
Will scheduling at volume get my accounts flagged?
SkedCast paces publishing to each account’s safe cadence and stays under every platform’s rate limits, with per-account speedometers that warn you before an account is pushed too hard.
Bulk import & workflow
How does SkedCast bulk-import posts?
You import posts from a CSV file, a Google Sheet, a folder of media, or AI-generated content. A single import handles up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency, and up to 25,000 on Enterprise; every row is validated in a live grid where you can fix issues inline before committing the whole batch to your calendar.
Can multiple people work in SkedCast together?
Yes. Assign Owner, Manager or Member roles, scope Members and Viewers to only the clients they manage (Owners and Managers see every client), and route content through an approval queue with comments and full history. Multi-stage approval chains and client guest links start on the Studio plan.
Does SkedCast have AI features?
Yes. SkedCast can generate, rephrase, and per-platform reformat captions, with content variation to avoid duplicate-looking posts and mandatory AI-content disclosure so you stay transparent.
Pricing & billing
How much does SkedCast cost?
SkedCast has a permanent Free plan — 2 connected accounts, 3 posts a day, no credit card and no expiry. Each paid plan has one flat monthly price, sized by connected accounts, clients and seats: Solo $15/mo, Studio $49/mo, Agency $129/mo, Agency+ $299/mo, and custom Enterprise. Free plan, no credit card. One 7-day Studio trial per workspace, started from your console. Annual billing saves 20%.
Does SkedCast charge per seat?
No. Each plan has one flat monthly price, so adding a teammate does not multiply your bill the way per-seat tools do. Seats are a plan limit, not a charge: 1 on Free, 1 on Solo, 5 on Studio, 15 on Agency and 40 on Agency+. Connected accounts by plan: 2 on Free, 10 on Solo, 50 on Studio, 200 on Agency and 500 on Agency+.
How is X (Twitter) billed?
X charges per post through its API (roughly $0.015 per post, and about $0.20 for a post with a link). SkedCast passes that cost through transparently with pre-flight estimates and spend caps.
How do accounts connect to the platforms?
Every account connects through SkedCast’s own platform apps with zero developer setup. A quota-aware router spreads accounts across a pool of apps to stay under each platform’s per-app caps automatically.
Security & data
How does SkedCast protect my connected accounts?
SkedCast stores OAuth access and refresh tokens — never your platform passwords — sealed with AES-256-GCM under a key derived separately for every tenant. Tokens are decrypted only by the backend and never sent to the browser or logged.
How is each client’s data kept separate?
Each agency’s data is isolated at the database level with row-level security keyed to your agency, so data never crosses between customers. Inside your workspace, per-client roles narrow each Member to only the clients they manage; that narrowing is enforced by the API, and Owners and Managers can see every client.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. Disconnecting an account erases SkedCast’s stored copy of its tokens and asks the platform to revoke SkedCast’s access where the platform provides a way to do that. Instagram, Threads and Telegram do not, so for those three also remove SkedCast from the app’s settings on the platform. You can also request deletion of your account and all associated data; verified deletion requests are completed within 30 days.
Switching to SkedCast
Can I migrate my scheduled posts from another tool?
Yes. Export your content from your current tool as a CSV or Google Sheet, import it directly into SkedCast's bulk importer (up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency), and reconnect your social accounts through each platform’s sign-in — no account passwords needed, no manual re-entry.
How does SkedCast compare to Planable?
Planable has the strongest client-approval workflow in the category: posts preview as the finished thing, comments pin to specific content, and clients can approve from a link without an account. It charges per workspace with unlimited users, so team size never raises the bill. The trade-off for an agency is that a workspace is generally a client — Basic is $33 and Pro $49 per workspace per month, with 60 and 150 monthly post ceilings, and analytics is a paid add-on. SkedCast plans are flat-priced and sized by connected accounts, clients and seats, not per workspace. SkedCast does not cap posting on any paid plan — only the Free tier has a daily ceiling, at 3 posts a day. Prices as of September 2026 — see /alternatives/planable for the full side-by-side.
How does SkedCast compare to Hootsuite, Buffer, or Sprout Social?
SkedCast charges one flat price per plan — not per seat — so adding teammates does not multiply your bill. It is bulk-first (up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency per import), supports compose-once fan-out to every account in one motion, and offers per-client roles across your roster. See the /compare page for a side-by-side breakdown.
Does SkedCast support bulk importing and exporting my content?
Yes. Import up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency, and up to 25,000 on Enterprise, from CSV, Google Sheets, or AI-generated content; validate every row in a live grid before committing. You can also export your content and analytics on demand or on a scheduled cadence.
Ready to broadcast everywhere?
Sign up free — no credit card. You land on the Free plan, and you can start a one-time 7-day Studio trial from your workspace whenever you are ready. Connect your first accounts, import a batch, and watch one post fan out across every platform.
