The posts, not just the schedule
Everything below was made with Pylot for Hollow Oak Kitchen, a fictional business. Yours is made from your own website and photos.
Video ads
Video ads, made from your brand
Short vertical ads with your colours, products and hooks, ready for Reels and TikTok. On paid plans; not part of the trial.
Shown: a real Pylot ad made for a sample brand. Brand kit
Your brand, read from your website
Pylot pulls your colours, logo and tone from your site, so every post looks and sounds like you.
Images
On-brand images
Pylot generates the image for each post in your brand, or designs around your own photos.
Captions
A caption for each channel
Written in your voice and shaped for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or X, not pasted five times.
AutoPylot
A month planned in one go
AutoPylot spreads up to 30 days of posts across your channels. You approve before anything goes live.
When Publer is the better pick
You write your own posts
If your captions are done and you only need them sent on time, Publer's $5 plan is hard to beat.
You want a free plan
Publer has one for 3 social accounts. Pylot doesn't; Pro starts with a 7-day trial for $0.
You need Threads, Pinterest or YouTube
Publer publishes to 13 networks. Pylot publishes to 6, so check your channels first.

Switching from Publer, answered
What is the difference between Pylot and Publer?
Publer is a social media scheduler with an AI assistant you prompt for text and images. Pylot is an AI social media manager: it learns your brand voice from your website, writes and designs a month of posts, and publishes them once you approve.
Is Pylot cheaper than Publer?
No. Publer has a free plan, and on 28 October 2026 its paid plans started at $5 a month, priced by the number of social accounts. Pylot Pro is $49.99 a month and includes the writing, images, video ads and publishing. Pro is 7 days for $0 (card required), then $49.99/month. Cancel within 7 days and you pay nothing. Video ads unlock with your first payment.
Does Pylot write posts in my brand voice?
Yes. Pylot builds a brand kit from your website, including your voice, colours, logo and do's and don'ts. Every caption and ad it writes reads from that kit.
Can I still edit what Pylot writes?
Yes. Use draft-first review to edit every post before it goes out, approve the whole week in one click, or let AutoPylot run on its own.
When is Publer the better choice?
If you write posts yourself and want a low-cost scheduler, a free plan, or networks Pylot doesn't support, such as Threads, Pinterest, YouTube or Mastodon, Publer is the better fit.
