Partly fits

BulletSocialpartial · 55

Offers free scheduling and AI assistance but appears to start with a narrower platform focus and is still expanding coverage.

Won’t cover: Currently focused on a limited set of networks rather than broad multi-platform coverage for seven profiles.

Apphi: Social Media Schedulerpartial · 52

Designed strongly around Instagram features (grid preview, Stories, carousels) and mobile auto-publishing, so its primary strength is Instagram-heavy workflows rather than broad multi-network enterprise scheduling.

Won’t cover: Primarily optimised for Instagram-first workflows and mobile use, so it may not cover all the other networks you need equally.
