Publer puts its API on higher tiers. If automation is the reason you need a tool, that matters.
Why people look for a Publer alternative
Publer's API access sits on its Business plan, and paid plans are priced through a calculator by accounts and users.
Teams who mainly want their website or app to post automatically can end up paying for analytics and features they do not use.
What zedgad does differently
Every zedgad plan includes the API, webhook, and WordPress plugin. Pricing is flat by number of projects, from $9 to $99 a month, with unlimited posts. X publishing is an add-on.
Each publish attempt is logged per platform, so automated posting stays visible.
What you give up
Zedgad has no free plan, no built-in analytics, and no RSS feed import.
If you rely on those, Publer may still suit you better.
Key takeaway
Choose zedgad if automation is the point; stay with Publer if you need analytics in the same tool.
