Visual planning for Instagram and TikTok
Later grew up as an Instagram scheduler and still thinks in grids: the calendar shows what the profile will look like, not only when things post. Linkin.bio turns the feed into a clickable page. The free plan is gone, so the first decision is whether visual planning is worth a subscription that starts near twenty dollars a month.
Our note
There is no free plan any more, which is the thing to know if you remember the older version. Against Metricool the pricing is per social set rather than per brand, and that comparison turns as soon as there is more than one client.
Only on this side
Short links with an API on every plan
T.LY shortens links behind your own domain and reports on the clicks, with the API available on the cheapest paid tier rather than held back for enterprise. Plans are metered by links created a month, so the traffic those links carry never changes the bill. A OneLink page collects several destinations behind one address, which is the link in bio case handled without a second product.
Our note
Pick this over Bitly when you want the API without an enterprise conversation, and over Short.io when you would rather pay per link created than per click. The five-day trial is short, so plan what you want to test before starting it.
