Apps Social scheduling
Social scheduling
A scheduler queues posts to Facebook, Instagram, and other networks in advance, so nobody spends Sunday night phone in hand. Most churches need three things: scheduled posts, an approval step when more than one person writes, and no pressure toward paid boosts. We are building a free poster for this category; until it ships, the tools below work today.
Before you buy
What to demand in writing
- Scheduling without forced viral templates
- Enough connected accounts for your church without an enterprise plan
- Draft approval when more than one person posts
- Link previews you can control
- Basic scheduling that never requires running ads
- Post history you can review with elders if needed
Reviews
Named options
Each review names the fit and the tradeoff. Confirm pricing and contract terms with the vendor before you sign. Rows carrying the By Church Posting plaque are our own software, reviewed in the same list.
Meta Business Suite
Churches that only need Facebook and Instagram
Free scheduling for the two networks most churches use. The interface pushes boosts and paid reach at every turn; decline them and schedule service times, Scripture, and pastoral notices.
Pricing Free for scheduling; ads are optional
Buffer
Small teams posting across a few networks with light collaboration
A calm interface with honest scope. Pick the plan that matches your real account count, and write your own captions.
Pricing Limited free tier; paid plans priced by channel
Later and similar visual planners
Churches whose calendar is photo-led
Useful when you plan in image grids. Captions still need a person: generic faith graphics teach the public to scroll past your church.
Pricing Freemium; watch monthly post limits
Church Posting poster
By Church PostingChurches that want scheduling free of charge
Our scheduler, in early access. The planned free tier covers up to three social accounts when it goes live at social.churchposting.com. We promise no launch date. Until then, Meta Business Suite or Buffer with our template packs does the same work.
Pricing Planned free tier, up to three accounts; the early-access list is open
Post what helps the flock gather, pray, and hear the Word. When there is nothing true to say, post nothing.
