Why people use it

  • Check length against every platform Postonus publishes to, from X and LinkedIn to Instagram captions, TikTok, YouTube, and Pinterest — not just a handful.
  • Counts links the way X actually counts them: every URL costs a flat 23 characters, however long it really is, instead of penalizing you for a long link.
  • Highlights the exact characters that push a post over the selected platform's limit, and breaks down words, sentences, and reading time alongside the count.

    Paste or type text

    Highlight exact characters that violate limits, refine your content, and copy the clean text with one click.

About this tool

Questions

Frequently asked questions Everything the first evaluation usually needs.

What if I'm already on Buffer / Pallyy / Publer?

Keep them. Run Postonus side-by-side for 30 days. Put your 3 best posts into a Growth Workflow. If it isn't earning its keep, cancel us — not them.

Does the AI write my posts?

No. You write the post. Postonus's AI re-fits your draft into each platform's native shape — character limits, tone, hashtag norms. You review every variant before it publishes. Voice profile keeps it sounding like you.

Which platforms do you support?

Fourteen: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Reddit, Telegram, Discord, Google Business Profile, and Tumblr. WhatsApp Groups support is in beta.

How does the free workspace and the 14-day trial work?

Sign up with no card and you get a free workspace: up to 3 connected channels, unlimited writing, and dated drafts on the calendar. Scheduling and publishing need a card. Adding one starts a 14-day trial on the plan you pick — nothing is charged until day 15, and your drafts are already there waiting.

Can I import from another tool?

Yes. Bulk CSV import handles up to 50 posts per file (multiple files OK). Direct-from-Buffer import is on the Q4 roadmap.

What happens if a post fails to publish?

Workers retry with exponential backoff. Failures show up in the Activity Feed with one-click retry. We email you only for unrecoverable failures (e.g. revoked token).
