Best X (Twitter) schedulers in 2026

33 tools that publish posts and threads to X through the paid X API. Because X charges developers for API access, a few schedulers have dropped it or added surcharges, so support is worth double-checking.

How to choose an X scheduler

Scheduling on X has become a pricing question as much as a feature question. Since X started charging for API access, some tools cap the number of X accounts per plan, add a per-account fee, or route X posting through a browser extension instead. Thread support also varies: the better X-first tools (Typefully, Hypefury) handle long threads, auto-plug replies and retweet-later queues, while general schedulers often limit you to a single post.

If X is your main channel, an X-first tool is usually cheaper and better. If it is one of six networks, pick a general scheduler and confirm X is included on the plan you want, not just on the enterprise tier.

Frequently asked questions

Can schedulers still post to X after the API changes?

Yes. The tools listed here publish to X through the official paid API. A handful of schedulers removed X support when the API became paid, so check the platform list on each profile before you commit.

Which scheduler is best for X threads?

Typefully and Hypefury are built around threads, with drafting, previews and automatic reply plugs. Buffer and Publer also support threads, though with fewer writing tools.

Is there a free way to schedule posts on X?

X Premium includes native scheduling in the X app. Typefully and Buffer both include X on their free plans with limits on how many posts you can queue.
