Real stories from real people who switched from Later to Saki.
Later kept raising prices and then killed the free plan entirely. I switched to Saki and got everything I actually needed — scheduling across all my platforms, smart queue, and analytics — without paying a cent. The API even lets me automate my weekly content drops.
We were paying $80/mo on Later's Scale plan for 4 users and still hitting limits. With Saki, our whole agency manages 15 client brands with flat pricing and full API access. The MCP integration with Claude lets us generate and schedule a week of content in minutes.
Switch from Later in under a minute. No credit card, no trial countdown, no per-user fees. Get API access and AI integration included.
Everything you need to know before switching from Later.
Later's cheapest plan (Starter) costs $25/month for 1 social set and 1 user. Additional users cost $5/month each. Saki's free plan includes 20 posts/month and 2 full workspaces with no credit card required. Saki's paid plans offer unlimited posts at a fraction of Later's price, and none of them charge per user.
No. Later removed its free plan and now only offers a 14-day free trial of paid plans. After that, you must pay at least $25/month. Saki offers a permanent free tier: 20 posts/month, 2 workspaces, no credit card required, no time limit. Free means free.
Saki supports Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, and Bluesky, with LinkedIn coming soon. Later supports Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube Shorts, and Snapchat. Saki uniquely supports Bluesky, while Later uniquely supports YouTube Shorts and Snapchat.
There's no direct Later import, but Saki auto-imports your last 30 days of posts from your connected social accounts. Most users are fully switched within a single session.
Saki does not have an Instagram feed grid preview. If visual feed aesthetics are your top priority, Later's grid planner is strong in that area. Saki focuses instead on multi-platform scheduling, smart queue automation, API access, and AI-powered workflows across all your accounts.
Yes. Saki offers a full REST API with documentation plus webhooks for post lifecycle events (published, failed, scheduled) and account events. Saki also includes a native MCP server for AI-powered workflows with tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. Later does not offer a public API at any price tier.
Absolutely. Workspaces let you isolate accounts and content per client. The free plan includes 2 workspaces, Starter includes 10, Pro includes 50, and Business is unlimited. Unlike Later's per-user pricing ($5/user add-on) and per-social-set pricing ($15/set add-on), Saki's flat pricing means your whole team accesses every workspace without extra fees.
