Schedule Instagram Posts Automatically

Planly auto-publishes Instagram posts, reels, stories, and carousels directly. No manual step or inbox notification required.

Instagram's native scheduler works for Instagram only. Planly manages Instagram alongside TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, and 5 more platforms from one dashboard. You also get analytics, AI caption tools, and first comment scheduling — none of which are available in Instagram's native tool.
