ViralFarm

Your agentic social media scheduler: plan and publish to every channel from one calendar, or let your AI agent schedule for you.

ViralFarm is your agentic social media scheduler built for creators and small teams. Schedule and publish to TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook, YouTube and X, plus blog posts to WordPress, from one calendar and queue. Write once and tailor the caption for each channel, bulk-schedule a week of posts in one go, publish now or save drafts, and post every format that matters: Reels, Stories, carousels, Shorts, Instagram trial reels, TikTok drafts and long posts for X Premium accounts. When the queue runs low, ViralFarm can fill it with slideshows, carousels and pins built on templates modeled after posts that went viral.

What sets ViralFarm apart is that it is built for AI agents. Its MCP server and REST API let Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and any MCP client schedule and publish for you on autopilot: upload your photos and videos, post them across every channel on a schedule you describe in plain words, or run one of the preset viral templates to create the post first. Agent access is included on every plan, even Free, and posts your agent writes use no ViralFarm credits.

Best for: Creators, founders and small teams who want one calendar for every channel, run by hand or by their AI agent

RecurPost

A social media scheduler built around evergreen content libraries that repost your best updates on a recurring schedule.

RecurPost stores posts in content libraries and cycles them out on recurring time slots, so an account keeps posting without a fresh upload every week. It publishes to 10 networks, adds an AI writer, a unified inbox and analytics on every plan, and its Agency plan adds client workspaces, approvals and white-label reports. It is aimed at freelancers, agencies and small or multi-location businesses.

Best for: Agencies and small businesses that recycle evergreen content

Which one should you choose?

Choose ViralFarm if…

  • You manage around 8 channels on a budget. ViralFarm Pro covers 8 channels with unlimited posts for $29/mo (X posts with links are capped at 90 a month), while RecurPost Personal plus three extra accounts comes to $37/mo and caps posts per account per day.
  • You want to start scheduling free. ViralFarm has a $0 plan with 2 channels, 20 posts a month and no card; RecurPost offers a 14-day trial and no free plan.
  • Your AI agent should schedule for you, even from Claude on the web or ChatGPT. ViralFarm's MCP server and REST API work with Claude on the web, desktop or Claude Code, ChatGPT and Cursor, which can upload media and schedule or publish across every channel from a plain-language request; RecurPost's MCP package runs on your own machine.
  • When you need fresh posts to schedule, ViralFarm can make them. It turns a link, topic or pasted text into TikTok and Instagram slideshows, carousels and Pinterest pins on templates modeled after posts that went viral, while RecurPost's AI generates images but not designed carousels or slideshows.

RecurPost may suit you if…

  • You want an evergreen library that keeps reposting your best content on recurring time slots without you touching it for weeks.
  • You need a social inbox and engagement analytics on the cheapest plan, not as an upgrade.
  • You post to Bluesky or Google Business Profile, or run client accounts that need separate workspaces, approvals and white-label reports.

Frequently asked questions

Is ViralFarm better than RecurPost?

For creators and small teams who post to many channels, yes. ViralFarm starts free, covers 8 channels with unlimited posts for $29 a month (X posts with links are capped at 90 a month), schedules WordPress blog posts in the same calendar, and lets Claude or ChatGPT schedule for you. When your queue runs low, it can also design slideshows, carousels and pins on viral templates. RecurPost fits better if your plan is to recycle an evergreen library on a fixed schedule.

Is ViralFarm cheaper than RecurPost?

ViralFarm starts lower and costs less at 8 channels. It has a free plan for 2 channels (20 posts a month) and a $12/mo Starter plan for 3 channels with unlimited posts (X posts with links are capped at 30 a month), while RecurPost starts at $9/mo for 2 accounts with no free plan. At 8 channels, ViralFarm Pro is $29/mo; RecurPost Personal covers 5 accounts for $25/mo and each extra account is $4/mo, so 8 comes to $37. RecurPost also caps daily posts per account (10, 20 or 80 depending on plan).

Does RecurPost have a free plan?

No. RecurPost offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card on its self-serve plans, then you pick a paid plan. ViralFarm has a permanent free plan with no credit card, and a 7-day trial on Pro and Premium for first-time subscribers.

Can I schedule posts from Claude with either tool?

Yes. ViralFarm runs an MCP server and REST API that work with Claude (web, desktop and Claude Code), ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline and other MCP clients, and your agent can upload media and schedule or publish across every channel, or generate a designed post first. Setup is at myviral.farm/mcp. RecurPost offers an official MCP package that runs on your own machine with Claude Desktop, Claude Code and other MCP clients, using an API key from your account settings.

Which social networks does each tool support?

Both publish to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube and Threads. ViralFarm also publishes blog posts to WordPress. RecurPost adds Google Business Profile and Bluesky. Neither supports Reddit, Mastodon or Telegram.

Does ViralFarm recycle evergreen posts like RecurPost?

Not yet. ViralFarm has no recurring or evergreen queue today. It focuses on scheduling and publishing: you can bulk schedule a batch at once, and ViralFarm can make new posts when your queue runs low. If automatic reposting from a content library is the reason you are looking, RecurPost is built for that.

How we compared

Limited means it is only on higher plans, sold as an add-on, or restricted in a way the numbered note explains. No means it is not offered, or we found no documentation of it. ViralFarm's column lists only features that are live in production today.
