Best Shopify Social Media Apps 2026

Social media work for a Shopify store covers more ground than most merchants expect when they start. Posting new products automatically to Instagram or TikTok is one job. Displaying a shoppable Instagram feed on the storefront homepage is a different job. Collecting customer video reviews and making them clickable is another. Syncing the product catalog to Facebook Shops so customers can buy without leaving the app is another still.

The best Shopify social media apps for auto-posting and scheduling go deeper than this list, but this guide covers the full picture: 13 apps across four categories, ranked in order of overall value for Shopify merchants in 2026. Pricing, supported networks, plan limits, ratings, and review counts come directly from each app’s live Shopify App Store listing.

Note: links go to the relevant Shopify App Store listing. Ratings and review counts sourced from live listings as of August 2026.

1. Yoomru

Yoomru connects a Shopify store to 11 social networks from a single dashboard embedded inside Shopify admin: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, X/Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, Google Business Profile, Telegram, and Discord. No other auto-posting app on the Shopify App Store covers both Telegram and Discord. That breadth is the primary reason Yoomru sits at the top of this list: merchants who need to reach audiences on messaging-first platforms, community platforms, or non-mainstream networks have exactly one option in this category.

The free plan publishes real posts: 30 per month across one connected channel, with 20 AI caption generations included, no time limit, and no credit system. Branded product video is generated from the live Shopify catalog rather than from AI inference, so the product name, image, and URL in every video match the actual product record. Two planner types, interval and weekly, handle recurring automation; both include a skip-out-of-stock filter that prevents promoting unavailable products. Auto-share on product create publishes a post the moment a new product goes live, with an optional review window before the post fires. Judge.me review cards turn customer reviews into branded social posts, a feature not found in any other app in this comparison. Billing runs entirely through Shopify Managed Pricing, so there is no separate external subscription to manage.

Networks: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, X/Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, Google Business Profile, Telegram, Discord (11 total) Free plan: Yes, 30 posts/month, 1 channel, 20 AI caption generations/month Pricing: Free; Starter $9.99/mo; Growth $24.99/mo; Pro $49.99/mo Built for Shopify: Application pending review (launched August 2026)

Pros

• 11 networks: the widest coverage in the category; the only app with both Telegram and Discord
• Genuine free plan with real post publishing and no time limit
• Judge.me review cards: automatically turns customer reviews into branded social posts
• Skip-out-of-stock filter prevents planners from promoting unavailable products
• Auto-share on product create with an optional review window before the post fires
• Fully embedded in Shopify admin with Shopify Managed Pricing; no external account required
• Deterministic branded video from the live catalog; no credits consumed per video

Cons

• Launched August 2026; no App Store rating or review history yet
• No analytics dashboard in the current version
• Built for Shopify badge is currently pending review, not yet awarded

Best for: Shopify merchants who need the widest network coverage, want a genuine free plan that publishes real posts without a credit gate, or need Telegram and Discord alongside mainstream social platforms.

2. Outfy

Outfy has been on the Shopify App Store since October 2015, making it the oldest auto-posting app in this category by a wide margin. It carries 463 reviews at 4.8 stars and the Built for Shopify badge. On install, Outfy auto-generates sample promotional videos from the product catalog before any channel is connected, so merchants see what the output looks like immediately. The app runs at outfy.com rather than inside Shopify admin.

The free plan posts one image per day per network on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Paid plans add AI Studio: short-form Reels and Shorts, long-form product videos, UGC-style content, and promotional templates. AI captions and video generation on paid tiers are credit-metered. Outfy does not support LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Google Business Profile, Telegram, or Discord on any plan.

Networks: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, YouTube (6 total) Free plan: Yes, 1 auto-post/day per network (image posts, limited networks) Pricing: Free; Essential $25/mo; Growth $45/mo; Unlimited $55/mo Built for Shopify: Yes (launched October 2015)

Pros

• 463 reviews at 4.8 stars: highest review count in the auto-posting category
• Built for Shopify badge; more than 10 years on the App Store
• Auto-generates sample content from the catalog on install before any channel is connected
• Free plan includes real image posting: 1 per day across up to 3 networks
• AI Studio on paid plans adds Reels, Shorts, UGC videos, and long-form product videos

Cons

• No LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Google Business Profile, Telegram, or Discord on any plan
• Runs at outfy.com, not embedded in Shopify admin
• AI captions and video generation are credit-metered on paid plans

Best for: Merchants who want the most-reviewed, longest-established auto-posting app focused on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, and YouTube.

3. Predis.ai

Predis.ai positions itself as an AI creative engine rather than a simple scheduler. It generates six types of content from the product catalog: product ad videos, UGC-style videos, faceless narrated videos, image posts, carousels, and HD product photo shoots. Beyond individual posts, it auto-generates a 4-week content strategy and a day-by-day editorial calendar from the store URL. A competitor analysis feature is built in, and an approval workflow with In Review, Rejected, and Scheduled statuses handles content review pipelines. The app holds 123 reviews at 4.5 stars and runs as an external SaaS at app.predis.ai, supporting 8 networks including Google Business Profile.

The pricing model is credit-based throughout. The free plan offers approximately 3 creations before hitting a hard paywall. Auto-posting requires the Rise plan at $79/month and is capped at 2 posts per day even then.

Networks: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, TikTok, Pinterest, X/Twitter, YouTube (8 total) Free plan: No real free plan (approx. 3 creations then hard paywall; auto-posting requires paid plan) Pricing: Core $32/mo ($230/yr); Rise $79/mo ($474/yr) Built for Shopify: No

Pros

• Deepest AI creative toolkit in the category: 6 content types including HD photo shoot and AI avatar UGC
• 4-week content strategy and editorial calendar auto-generated from the store URL
• Built-in competitor analysis: 60-130 competitor accounts per month depending on tier
• Approval workflow with In Review / Rejected / Scheduled status pipeline
• REST API and SDK for developer integrations (unique in this category)
• 8 networks including Google Business Profile

Cons

• Credits gate all content generation, charged even when AI output is inaccurate
• Auto-posting capped at 2/day and requires the $79/mo Rise plan
• External SaaS with a 15-step onboarding survey; not embedded in Shopify admin
• Product sync can fail on stores with storefront password protection

Best for: Merchants who primarily need AI-generated marketing content and brand strategy planning; strongest when used as a creative production tool alongside a simpler dedicated scheduler.

4. VibeFlow

VibeFlow holds a 4.9-star rating from 75 reviews, the highest rating in the auto-posting sub-category. Its standout feature is a rule-based automation builder: merchants set conditions based on product creation date, published status, or collection membership, combine multiple conditions into compound rules, and preview the estimated daily posting load before automation fires. The app is embedded in Shopify admin and uses Shopify Managed Pricing.

The per-account daily post cap is the primary limitation: 2 posts per day on the free plan and up to 10 on the highest paid tier. This cap affects merchants running high-volume catalogs or multiple connected accounts. LinkedIn is not supported. No video generation is included.

Networks: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, X/Twitter (6 total; no LinkedIn) Free plan: Yes, 10 posts/month, 1 channel, 2 posts/account/day cap Pricing: Free; $8.99/mo; $12.99/mo; $38.99/mo; $89.99/mo Built for Shopify: No

Pros

• 4.9 stars: tied for highest rating in the auto-posting category
• Genuine free plan with real publishing and no time limit
• Rule-based automation builder with compound product conditions and daily-load preview
• Lowest starting paid price for an auto-poster with a real free plan ($8.99/mo)
• Embedded in Shopify admin with Shopify Managed Pricing

Cons

• Hard per-account daily post cap (2-10/day depending on plan): the top reviewer complaint
• No LinkedIn support
• No video generation

Best for: Merchants who want a rule-based automation builder with the lowest entry price, posting primarily to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube.

5. Xyla AI

Xyla AI holds 190 reviews at 4.7 stars, the second-largest review base in the auto-posting category. Its 6-step onboarding wizard generates a full week of content in the background immediately after setup: product ads, lifestyle posts, trivia, holiday content, and meme-style posts. Seven brand voice presets and five AI visual styles give the output a consistent look without manual editing. UGC-style video using AI avatar models is available on paid plans. Captions can be generated in 93 languages.

The free plan allows previewing generated content but does not publish anything. A 7-day paid trial is required before any post can go live. Premium content types including UGC video and cinematic video are credit-metered on paid plans. LinkedIn is not supported on any tier.

Networks: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest (6 total; no LinkedIn) Free plan: Preview only; publishing requires a 7-day paid trial (from $29/mo) Pricing: $29/mo ($17/mo billed annually) Built for Shopify: No

Pros

• 190 reviews at 4.7 stars: second-largest review base in the auto-posting category
• 6-step onboarding that generates a ready-to-post week of content automatically
• 7 brand voice presets and 5 AI visual styles for consistent output
• AI UGC video with avatar models; caption generation in 93 languages
• Content variety beyond product ads: facts, quizzes, holiday posts, lifestyle content

Cons

• Free plan does not publish; paid trial required before any post goes live
• Credits gate premium visual types on paid plans
• No LinkedIn support on any tier
• Some reviewers report inaccurate AI product descriptions

Best for: Merchants who want polished onboarding, AI-generated content variety beyond product posts, and are comfortable starting a paid trial before publishing.

6. Minta Social Videos Auto Post

Minta, built by the ReConvert team, focuses entirely on video: it generates branded product videos from the Shopify catalog using templates and AI avatars, then auto-posts them on a schedule. It has been on the App Store since June 2020 and holds 285 reviews at 4.4 stars. The starting price of $5/month (from $3/month billed annually) is the lowest in the auto-posting category. Built-in analytics include UTM attribution and traffic-source dashboards. Shoppable video embeds for the storefront are also available on paid plans.

The app does not have a genuine free plan. The “get started for free” phrasing in the listing is the primary driver of 1-star reviews, as clicking through leads directly to a subscription screen with no free publishing option. Network coverage is limited to four platforms. Some merchants report auto-posting silently stopping after initial setup.

Networks: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest (4 total; no YouTube, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Telegram, or Discord) Free plan: No real free plan; 7-day trial on all paid tiers Pricing: Starter from $5/mo (from $3/mo billed annually); Pro from $35/mo; Growth from $55/mo Built for Shopify: No

Pros

• Video-first: generates branded product videos and AI avatar videos from the catalog
• Lowest starting paid price in the category: $5/mo (from $3/mo annual)
• Analytics with UTM attribution and traffic-source dashboards
• Backed by ReConvert, an established Shopify developer with a support team
• Shoppable video embed for storefront display

Cons

• No genuine free plan; “get started for free” messaging leads to a subscription screen
• Narrowest network coverage in this comparison: 4 platforms only
• Reports of auto-posting silently stopping after initial setup
• Advanced AI videos are credit-metered with extra per-video charges beyond plan limits

Best for: Merchants focused on video content for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest who want the lowest entry price and UTM-level analytics.

7. SS Social Media AI

SS Social Media AI by Post Purchase Deals carries the Built for Shopify badge and holds 76 reviews at 4.9 stars. Its defining feature is blog auto-posting: it publishes Shopify blog articles to social media with AI-generated captions, alongside the standard product posting workflow. No other app in this comparison offers blog auto-posting. It is embedded in Shopify admin and uses Shopify Managed Pricing.

There is no permanent free plan; all tiers include a 7-day trial. TikTok support is currently listed as BETA and not generally available. X/Twitter requires the $45.99/month Enterprise tier. YouTube is not supported on any plan.

Networks: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn; TikTok (beta only); X/Twitter (Enterprise $45.99/mo only) Free plan: No (7-day trial on all paid tiers) Pricing: from $11.99/mo Built for Shopify: Yes

Pros

• Blog auto-posting: auto-shares Shopify blog articles to social media with AI captions (unique in this list)
• Built for Shopify badge
• 4.9 stars from 76 reviews
• Embedded in Shopify admin with Shopify Managed Pricing
• Supports LinkedIn

Cons

• No permanent free plan
• TikTok support is currently BETA and not generally available
• X/Twitter requires the $45.99/mo Enterprise tier
• No YouTube support

Best for: Merchants who publish Shopify blog posts and want to auto-share both product updates and blog content to Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn from the same dashboard.

8. AutoPost AI

AutoPost AI is developed by Amasty, a well-established developer in the Shopify and Magento ecosystem. The app uses ChatGPT-powered caption generation that pulls the actual product URL, title, and attributes directly into the caption text. The free plan allows 5 posts per month with manual publishing; scheduling and automations require a paid plan. The app runs entirely inside Shopify admin with flat-rate plan limits and no credit system. With 26 reviews at 4.1 stars it has the smallest review base in this comparison, though Amasty’s developer track record and responsiveness to every review offset some of that gap.

Networks: Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, Pinterest (4 total; no TikTok, YouTube, or LinkedIn) Free plan: Yes, 5 posts/month (manual publishing only, no scheduling or automations) Pricing: $9.99/mo; $15.99/mo (3-day trial on paid plans) Built for Shopify: No

Pros

• Established Amasty developer: responds to every App Store review, public roadmap available
• Accurate AI captions that include the real product URL, hashtags, and product attributes
• Embedded in Shopify admin; no external domain required
• Flat plan limits with no credit metering

Cons

• 26 reviews at 4.1 stars: smallest review base in this comparison
• 4 networks only: no TikTok, YouTube, or LinkedIn
• No video generation; image posts only
• Scheduling and automations locked behind the paid plan

Best for: Merchants focused on Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, and Pinterest who value developer credibility and want accurate attribute-based AI captions without a credit system.

9. Instafeed

Instafeed by Mintt Studio is the most-reviewed Instagram feed app on the Shopify App Store, with 1,960 reviews at 5.0 stars and the Built for Shopify badge. It displays Instagram Reels, posts, and videos on any storefront page in auto-syncing grid or slider layouts. The free Starter plan covers unlimited visitors and syncs automatically every hour. Product and collection tagging, which turns the displayed feed into a shoppable gallery with Add to Cart and Shop Now buttons, is available on the Pro plan at $8/month.

Instafeed displays Instagram content on the storefront; it does not post to Instagram. Stores that need both display and auto-posting should pair it with a dedicated auto-poster from the top of this list.

Networks/type: Instagram feed display (not an auto-poster) Free plan: Yes, grid and slider layouts, unlimited views, hourly auto-sync Pricing: Free (Starter); $8/mo Pro (7-day trial); $20/mo Plus ($180/yr, 7-day trial) Built for Shopify: Yes

Pros

• Most-reviewed Instagram feed app on the App Store: 1,960 reviews at 5.0 stars
• Built for Shopify badge
• Free plan supports unlimited visitors and hourly auto-sync
• Shoppable product and collection tagging available at $8/mo Pro
• Supports Reels, Stories, carousels, and UGC on paid plans

Cons

• Displays content on the storefront; does not post to Instagram
• Shoppable product tagging requires the Pro plan ($8/mo)
• Limited to Instagram; no TikTok or other platform feed on the base app

Best for: Merchants who want to display their active Instagram content on the storefront and make it shoppable; the strongest starting point for any store with a regular Instagram presence.

10. Socialwidget

Socialwidget by OneCommerce holds 599 reviews at 4.9 stars with the Built for Shopify badge. Like Instafeed, it displays Instagram content on the storefront in shoppable feeds. Its differentiator is TikTok integration from the Standard plan: Socialwidget is the only Instagram feed app in this comparison to also pull in TikTok content, making it better suited to stores that post actively on TikTok. On the Professional plan, checkout buttons can be embedded directly inside the gallery widget, allowing customers to add products to cart without leaving the feed.

The free plan covers one widget and up to 1,000 monthly visitors with 24-hour sync. Stores with significant traffic will reach the visitor cap and need a paid plan.

Networks/type: Instagram + TikTok feed display (not an auto-poster) Free plan: Yes, 1 widget, 1,000 visitors/mo, 24-hour sync Pricing: Free (Starter); $9.90/mo Standard; $19.90/mo Professional; $49.90/mo Advanced Built for Shopify: Yes

Pros

• 599 reviews at 4.9 stars; Built for Shopify badge
• TikTok integration from Standard plan ($9.90/mo): unique among Instagram feed apps in this list
• In-gallery checkout buttons on Professional and above for higher conversion
• Customizable templates optimized for mobile and desktop

Cons

• Free plan visitor cap (1,000/mo): stores with significant traffic need a paid plan
• In-gallery checkout buttons require the Professional tier ($19.90/mo)
• Displays content on the storefront; does not auto-post to social media

Best for: Merchants who want a high-rated Instagram feed app with TikTok support and the option for in-gallery checkout buttons to convert feed browsers directly into buyers.

11. Covet Instagram Feed and Reviews

Covet by Space Squirrel holds 181 reviews at 4.7 stars with the Built for Shopify badge. It combines Instagram feed display with customer photo and video review collection in a single app, removing the need to install a separate review app alongside a feed app. Merchants can sync their Instagram profile or a custom hashtag feed, invite customers to submit photo and video UGC, create shoppable galleries and lookbooks, and run photo contests that reward participants with discount codes. Shopify Flow integration and a drag-and-drop gallery editor are included on paid plans.

There is no free plan; a 14-day trial is available across all tiers. Merchants who need feed display only will find Instafeed or Socialwidget more cost-effective for that purpose alone.

Networks/type: Instagram feed display + customer photo and video UGC review collection Free plan: No (14-day trial) Pricing: Lite $9.99/mo; Growth $29.99/mo; Premium $79.99/mo Built for Shopify: Yes

Pros

• Combines Instagram feed display and customer UGC review collection in one app
• 181 reviews at 4.7 stars; Built for Shopify badge
• Shoppable galleries, lookbooks, and photo contest functionality with discount rewards
• Shopify Flow integration for automated review request and moderation workflows

Cons

• No free plan; 14-day trial only
• Higher starting price for feed-only needs compared to Instafeed or Socialwidget
• Growth and Premium tiers required for multiple galleries or higher review request volumes

Best for: Merchants who want Instagram feed display and customer photo/video review collection from a single app rather than running two separate tools.

12. Tolstoy AI: Shoppable UGC

Tolstoy AI holds 237 reviews at 4.7 stars with the Built for Shopify badge. It focuses on shoppable video: merchants import TikTok clips and Instagram Reels directly into the app, turn them into interactive shoppable players embedded on product pages or the homepage, and generate AI product images and videos in bulk from the catalog. A conversational AI shopping assistant for storefront visitors is also included. Multi-channel publishing reaches TikTok, Instagram Reels, TikTok Shop, Meta Ads, Klaviyo, and Yotpo.

The free plan covers basic AI generation and Shop App publishing. Paid plans add impression-based billing and AI token systems that scale with content generation volume. Tolstoy is not a traditional post scheduler; its focus is on storefront-embedded shoppable video and ad channel publishing rather than organic outbound auto-posting.

Networks/type: Shoppable UGC video display, TikTok and Reels import, AI product video, multi-channel ad publishing Free plan: Yes (basic AI generation, Shop App publishing) Pricing: Shoppable Plus $19/mo; Bundle Plus $39/mo; Bundle Pro $199/mo Built for Shopify: Yes

Pros

• 237 reviews at 4.7 stars; Built for Shopify badge
• Import TikTok and Instagram Reels directly and make them shoppable on the storefront
• AI product image and video generation in bulk from the catalog
• Conversational AI shopping assistant for storefront visitors
• Multi-channel publishing to TikTok Shop, Meta Ads, Klaviyo, and Yotpo

Cons

• Paid plans use impression-based pricing and token systems that scale with store traffic
• Not a traditional post scheduler; focused on embedded shoppable video rather than outbound organic posting
• Free plan is limited to basic AI generation and Shop App only

Best for: Merchants who want to embed shoppable TikTok and Reels content on product pages and generate AI product videos for storefronts and paid ad campaigns.

13. Facebook and Instagram by Meta

Facebook and Instagram by Meta is the official channel integration that connects a Shopify product catalog to Facebook Shops and Instagram Shopping. It is free to install, with ad spend billed directly to the connected Facebook ad account when merchants run campaigns. The app handles product catalog sync, conversion pixel setup, and shop performance analytics. It is not an auto-poster or a scheduler; its job is catalog management and ad campaign setup inside the Meta ecosystem.

With 5,227 reviews, it is the most-reviewed app in this comparison by a wide margin. The 3.8-star average reflects a high share of 1-star reviews (23%) driven by Meta account verification delays and catalog sync issues, which are a known friction point in the Meta Business ecosystem.

Networks/type: Facebook Shops + Instagram Shopping channel integration (not an auto-poster) Free plan: Free to install; ad spend billed to Facebook ad account Pricing: Free to install Built for Shopify: No (official Meta app)

Pros

• Official Meta integration: direct Facebook Shops and Instagram Shopping catalog sync
• Free to install with no subscription required
• Most-reviewed app in this comparison: 5,227 reviews
• Conversion pixel setup and shop performance analytics included
• Required for Facebook and Instagram Commerce eligibility

Cons

• 3.8-star average driven by Meta account verification delays and catalog sync issues
• Not an auto-poster or scheduler; handles catalog management and ad setup only
• Ad spend and campaign management happen inside Meta Ads Manager, not inside Shopify

Best for: Any Shopify merchant selling physical products who wants to sync the product catalog to Facebook Shops and Instagram Shopping; this is effectively a prerequisite for Facebook and Instagram commerce, not an optional tool.

FAQ

What is the best Shopify social media auto-post app in 2026?

For the widest network coverage and a genuine free plan, Yoomru leads the category with 11 networks including Telegram and Discord, which no other auto-poster covers. For a long-established option with the largest review base, Outfy has 463 reviews at 4.8 stars and has been live since 2015. For AI-first creative content beyond basic product posts, Predis.ai offers the most sophisticated content generation toolkit, though auto-posting is limited on lower tiers.

Do any of these apps have a genuinely free plan that publishes real posts?

Yes. Yoomru (30 posts/month, 1 channel), Outfy (1 image post/day per network), VibeFlow (10 posts/month, 1 channel), and AutoPost AI (5 posts/month, manual only) all publish real posts on a free plan with no time limit. Xyla AI, SS Social Media AI, and Minta all require a paid plan or a time-limited trial before any post can go live.

What is the best Shopify app to display Instagram content on a storefront?

Instafeed by Mintt Studio is the strongest option with 1,960 reviews at 5.0 stars and a free plan covering unlimited visitors. Socialwidget adds TikTok feed support from its $9.90/month Standard plan. Covet combines Instagram feed display with customer photo and video review collection for merchants who want both from one app.

Can one Shopify app handle all social media tasks?

No single app in 2026 handles auto-posting, Instagram feed display, shoppable video, and Facebook/Instagram catalog sync equally well. Most merchants run a dedicated auto-poster for outbound publishing alongside a separate feed or UGC app for storefront display. The Facebook and Instagram by Meta app is typically installed alongside an auto-poster, not as a substitute for one.

Which apps support Telegram and Discord?

Among the apps in this list, only Yoomru supports both Telegram and Discord. All other auto-posters cap at 4 to 8 networks and do not cover messaging-first or community platforms.

Which auto-posting apps carry the Built for Shopify badge?

In the auto-posting category, Outfy and SS Social Media AI carry the Built for Shopify badge. In the feed and UGC categories, Instafeed, Socialwidget, Covet, and Tolstoy AI all carry the badge. Yoomru’s application is currently pending review.

How much do Shopify social media apps typically cost?

Auto-posting apps range from free (Yoomru, Outfy, VibeFlow, AutoPost AI have genuine free plans) to $79/month for AI-heavy tools like Predis.ai. Instagram feed apps start at free for Instafeed and Socialwidget and scale to $20/month for advanced features. Tolstoy AI starts at free for basic use and scales to $19/month for shoppable video. Facebook and Instagram by Meta is free to install. Merchants with limited budgets should start with free-plan options and upgrade as posting volume or feature needs grow.

What is the difference between an auto-posting app and an Instagram feed app?

An auto-posting app publishes content from the Shopify store outward to social platforms. An Instagram feed app pulls content from Instagram inward to display it on the storefront. They solve opposite problems and are typically used together, not as alternatives. Instafeed, Socialwidget, and Covet are feed apps; Yoomru, Outfy, VibeFlow, and the other scheduling tools are auto-posters.
