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

Frequently asked questions

Is ViralFarm better than Social Champ?

For creators and small teams, yes. ViralFarm gives you 8 channels for $29 a month or 15 for $39, includes X with no add-on fee, and lets Claude or ChatGPT schedule for you through MCP. It can also make slideshows, carousels and pins when your queue runs low. Social Champ fits better if you need an inbox, analytics and client approvals.

How much does Social Champ cost in 2026?

Social Champ has a free plan for 3 accounts and 15 scheduled posts. Paid plans come two ways: per profile (Starter from $5 per account a month, Growth from $9) or bundled (Standard $29/mo for 6 accounts, Professional $59/mo for 12, Agency $149/mo for 30), with about 20% off on yearly billing. ViralFarm has a free plan, then Starter at $12 for 3 channels, Pro at $29 for 8 and Premium at $39 for 15.

Does Social Champ charge extra for X (Twitter)?

Yes, for links. X is not available on the free plan. On paid plans you can publish plain X posts, but posts with links, X analytics and the X inbox need the X Suite add-on, which costs $25 per X profile a month and includes 60 link posts a month for that profile. ViralFarm has no X add-on fee: plain X posts work on every plan, and paid plans include 30, 90 or 150 X link posts a month.

Can Social Champ create carousels or slideshows with AI?

Not as finished designs. Social Champ's AI Content Wizard writes post copy and its AI Imaginator generates individual images, and you can design in Canva through the integration. ViralFarm generates complete TikTok and Instagram slideshows, carousels and Pinterest pins on viral templates, then lets you edit slides, brand colors and fonts.

Do Social Champ and ViralFarm work with Claude or ChatGPT?

Both have an MCP server. ViralFarm's, with its REST API, lets Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and any MCP client upload media and schedule or publish across every channel from a plain-language request, and it can also generate slideshows and pins on viral templates first. Posts your own agent writes use no ViralFarm credits. Social Champ's lets an AI assistant view channels, review drafts and scheduled posts, and create posts.

Does ViralFarm include an inbox and analytics like Social Champ?

Not yet. ViralFarm focuses on scheduling and publishing your posts. If answering comments and DMs or tracking performance is your main job, Social Champ includes both on every plan, Free included.
