Videos by the batch
Drop many videos into the planner in one go, have the captions written and let the auto planner place them. Subtitles and trimming are part of it.
When is Later the better choice?
When you post to Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads or Snapchat. Later lists those networks on its pricing page, and BestPost does not serve them. Later is also set up for more than one person: Growth comes with two users, Scale with four.
Later keeps analytics for up to two years, depending on the plan. BestPost shows views, likes and comments per video and platform.
When does BestPost fit better?
When you have more than one video a day. 30 posts per profile cover one video daily. Two or three a day put you on Later Growth with 180 posts per profile.
Then there is the work before posting: BestPost writes the captions from the picture and sound of the video, generates subtitles and cuts out silence. All of that happens in the same window as the scheduling.
- Upload many videos in one pass
- Caption, YouTube title, hashtags and first comment from the video
- Burned-in subtitles, silence and filler words removed
- Auto planner with weekly slots
What does it cost at three videos a day?
Three videos a day are about 90 a month. On Later that means Growth with 180 posts per profile, at $37.50 a month on annual billing plus taxes, with 50 AI credits.
On BestPost, Starter is enough: 100 captions a month, one for each of the 90 videos, for $16 a month on annual billing. If all 90 should get subtitles too, it is Pro at $29 with 150 subtitles a month.
