SmarterQueue
Checked 26 Oct 2026 · source · 9 networks · API not stated · AI yes
Solo marketers who want category-based queues with evergreen recycling and a visual calendar.
You want a free plan or to manage many profiles on the base price: the plans include only 5 social profiles and extra profiles and users are add-ons.
Overview
SmarterQueue is organized around categories. The homepage says you group content by type and set the ratio and timing of each so posts stay balanced, and that published posts return to the bottom of the queue to be republished, with an optional expiry date or maximum repeats. There is a drag-and-drop visual calendar, analytics covering post performance, engagement and follower growth with a weekly email overview, and an AI assistant that generates and rewrites captions per platform.
The plans are Pro and Team. Pro has 1 workspace, 1 user, 5 social profiles, 100 queued posts per profile, 10 categories and 10,000 AI words. Team has unlimited workspaces, 3 users, 5 social profiles, 250 queued posts per profile, 20 categories and 25,000 AI words.
Prices are the problem. The official pricing page carries two conflicting sets, and the rendered page showed GBP figures, so I haven't entered a number. The 7-day trial needs no credit card and starts once you queue your first post. An API isn't mentioned on the pages I read.
What it does well
- Category queues with set ratios and timing.
- Recycling can end after an expiry date or a number of repeats.
- Both plans give a visual calendar and AI captions.
- Team gives unlimited workspaces.
What to watch out for
- No free plan.
- The page I read carries conflicting prices, so check the live one.
- Both plans include only 5 social profiles, and extra profiles and users are add-ons.
- X posts use monthly credits (1 for text, 15 with links).
Plans and prices
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed annually, per month | Unit | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | Not published | Not published | per month | 1 workspace, 1 user, 5 social profiles, 100 queued posts per profile, 10 categories, 10,000 AI words |
| Team | Not published | Not published | per month | Unlimited workspaces, 3 users, 5 social profiles, 250 queued posts per profile, 20 categories, 25,000 AI words |
I can't give a reliable figure here. The pricing page carries two conflicting sets of prices, and the rendered page showed GBP amounts on annual billing, which I don't convert. What is clear is the structure: Pro has 1 user and Team has 3, both include 5 social profiles, and extra profiles and users are add-ons. Queue depth rises per profile from 100 to 250 posts, categories from 10 to 20, and AI words from 10,000 to 25,000. X posts draw on monthly credits, with links costing 15 times a text post. I'd read the live page before paying.
