BetterSocials is a social media management platform that posts to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Threads and LinkedIn from one composer. Write a caption once, pick your platforms, and publish now or schedule it. Every comment and DM those posts earn lands in one inbox, with AI replies drafted in your voice. Creator is $29 a month for four accounts and Pro is $49 for five.
How to post to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn from one place
You connect each account once, then write a post in a single composer. Pick which platforms get it, and publish now or schedule it ahead. This is what a social media management platform does: one draft, five or six destinations, instead of five open tabs.
The harder part is what happens after you post. Comments and DMs start arriving on every platform at once, and most scheduling tools do not bring them back to you. That gap is where the tools below start to differ.
Which platforms does Buffer officially support?
Buffer posts to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn from one dashboard. Its Community inbox covers comments on all plans, which is more than a pure scheduler offers. Instagram and Facebook messages still land in your phone app, not in Buffer.
Five channels on Buffer Essentials run $25 a month on annual billing. BetterSocials Pro covers five accounts for $49 a month and adds the DM inbox, AI replies and keyword comment-to-DM. The scheduling side works well for straightforward posting. If your comments turn into sales conversations, though, you are still switching to your phone to answer the DM.
Which platforms does Hootsuite officially support?
Hootsuite posts and schedules across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn, starting at $99 per user a month. It is built for teams, with account coordination and reporting on top of the posting.
Its inbox product does not list YouTube comments. That means YouTube on Hootsuite is publishing and analytics only, not a place to answer what people say back. If YouTube is a channel where your audience talks to you, Hootsuite's inbox will not show you that conversation.
Which social networks does Metricool support?
Metricool posts to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn, and it reads YouTube comments, including on its free tier. That is a real advantage over tools that treat YouTube as posting only. Pricing runs $20 a month per brand.
Metricool has no email channel and no keyword automation. A comment cannot trigger an automatic DM on Metricool, so turning a comment into a sale still takes a manual step.
Best social media schedulers for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn in 2026
Posting to all five platforms is table stakes now. The difference between these tools is what happens to the comments and DMs those posts earn, and what it costs to get that back in one place.
| Tool | Posts to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn | Comments inbox | DMs in the inbox | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BetterSocials | Yes, plus Threads | Yes, every connected platform | Instagram, Facebook, TikTok (TikTok reply only) | $49 a month for five accounts (Pro), unlimited contacts |
| Buffer | Yes | Yes, comments only | No, DMs stay in the app | $30 a month for six channels, annual billing |
| Hootsuite | Yes, YouTube is publishing only | No YouTube comments | Yes, on higher tiers | From $99 per user a month |
| Metricool | Yes | Yes, including YouTube | No keyword automation | $20 a month per brand |
| Later | Yes, YouTube as Shorts only | Conversations on Growth and up, no YouTube or LinkedIn | Instagram and Facebook DMs | From $18.75 a month, annual billing |
If you only need to schedule and never check replies, several of these work fine. The moment comments and DMs matter to your sales, the gaps in each row start to cost you.
How BetterSocials does this
You write a post once in the composer, pick Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Threads or LinkedIn, then publish now or schedule it. Captions can be drafted in your voice, and posting is unlimited on every plan.
Every comment and DM those posts earn lands in one inbox, across every connected account. AI drafts each reply in your voice, and you approve it or let the ones you trust send on their own.
Set a keyword once, no automation builder needed. On Instagram and Facebook, a keyword comment gets a public reply and a DM carrying your link, both in your voice. On YouTube, Threads, TikTok and LinkedIn Company Pages, the link goes out in the public reply instead, because those platforms give no tool a way to open a DM from a comment.
Pricing is flat: $29 a month for four accounts, $49 for five and $99 for ten, with unlimited contacts. Nothing is billed per contact, so a viral week costs the same as a quiet one. You can see the plans on bettersocials.ai/pricing.
