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

Upload-Post

A developer-first upload API for 22 networks, with a dashboard scheduler, an open-source MCP server and a free tier.

Upload-Post started as one API call that sends a video or photo set to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and the rest, and now reaches 22 networks, including Reddit, Bluesky, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Telegram, Discord and WordPress. A web dashboard adds a calendar and a posting queue, and every plan, the free one included, gets the REST API and an open-source MCP server. Plans are priced by profiles, and each profile holds one account on every network.

Best for: Developers and agencies automating video and photo uploads to many accounts

A profile is one person or client and holds one account on each network, so Basic can run 5 TikTok, 5 Instagram and 5 YouTube accounts at once. Yearly billing lowers every paid plan (Basic drops from $24 to $16 a month). Paid plans carry a 15-day money-back guarantee instead of a trial. URLs are stripped from X posts by default to keep X API costs down; posting links on X is a $19/mo add-on for up to 50 link posts a month.

Which one should you choose?

Choose ViralFarm if…

  • You want to bulk-schedule from the app. ViralFarm has bulk scheduling, drafts and per-channel captions in one calendar and queue. On Upload-Post, bulk uploads run through API scripts, its queue or n8n and Make flows, and drafts go to each platform instead of an in-app board.
  • You share links on X. ViralFarm paid plans include X posts with links (30 a month on Starter, 90 on Pro, 150 on Premium) with no add-on fee, while Upload-Post strips links from X posts unless you pay $19 a month for its link add-on.
  • You want to start free on TikTok. ViralFarm Free publishes 20 posts a month to 2 channels, and TikTok can be one of them, with no card. Upload-Post Free allows 10 uploads a month and leaves out TikTok.
  • When you need 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, and your AI agent can do the same through MCP. Upload-Post publishes media you already have.

Upload-Post may suit you if…

  • You are building automation in code, n8n or Make and want one upload call for 22 networks, with Python and JavaScript SDKs.
  • You need networks ViralFarm does not support, such as Reddit, Bluesky, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Telegram or Discord.
  • You run many accounts per client. Each Upload-Post profile holds one account on every network, and Basic covers 5 profiles for $16 a month billed yearly.

Frequently asked questions

Is ViralFarm a good alternative to Upload-Post?

Yes, for creators and small teams. ViralFarm gives you one calendar and queue with drafts and bulk scheduling in the app, includes X posts with links on paid plans (30 to 150 a month) with no add-on fee, and lets Claude or ChatGPT schedule for you through MCP. When the queue runs low, it can also make slideshows, carousels and pins on viral templates. Upload-Post fits better if you are wiring uploads to 22 networks in code.

Does Upload-Post create content with AI?

Only part of it. Its AI Shorts Uploader watches a short video and writes titles, descriptions and hashtags for YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, within a monthly quota. It does not design images, carousels or slideshows. ViralFarm generates slideshows, carousels, Pinterest pins and text posts from a link, topic or pasted text.

Can both tools post from Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. ViralFarm's MCP server and REST API work with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your agent can upload media and schedule or publish across every channel. It can also generate a post on a ViralFarm template first, and posts your own agent writes use no ViralFarm credits. Upload-Post's open-source MCP server, hosted or run locally, covers publishing, scheduling, analytics, comments and DMs.

How much does Upload-Post cost in 2026?

Upload-Post has a free plan with 2 profiles and 10 uploads a month, without TikTok. Paid plans have unlimited uploads: Basic is $24 a month ($16 billed yearly), Professional $50 ($33), Advanced $147 ($118) and Business $438 ($350), and links in X posts cost $19 a month extra. ViralFarm has a free plan with 20 AI credits, then Starter at $12, Pro at $29 and Premium at $39 a month, each with monthly AI credits for generating posts.

Is Upload-Post an API or a scheduler?

Both, with the API first. Upload-Post is a REST API, with Python and JavaScript SDKs and n8n and Make modules, that posts to 22 networks in one call. Its dashboard adds a calendar and a posting queue for people who do not code. ViralFarm is a scheduler first: you plan and publish from one calendar in the app, generate posts when the queue runs low, and its MCP server and REST API let AI agents do the same.

Which networks does each tool support?

Both publish to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Pinterest and WordPress. Upload-Post also posts to Reddit, Bluesky, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Nostr, Lemmy, Dev.to, Hashnode, Whop and Listmonk.

How we compared

We read each tool's public pricing page, feature pages and help center and recorded what every plan includes. Yes means the feature is available as described. 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.
