Influence alternatives

Influence is a paid tool, with no free tier, for planning, writing and scheduling social posts. It covers brand voice, per-channel post versions, a content calendar, and access through a hosted MCP server. When choosing an alternative, weigh whether you need a free tier, client approvals or separate client workspaces, specific automations such as RSS posting, and whether you need API, CLI or MCP access.
