Overview

Later offers 4 plans:

Starter Plan

Upgrading to Starter will give you more features and extend your posting capabilities with Later. You'll also be able to add more Social Sets and users to your plan if needed at an additional cost. 

With this plan you'll get all the features included in Free, with the addition of the features outlined below. 

* = Add additional Social Sets and users for an additional cost
** = Due to Instagram restrictions, Stories and Carousel (Multi-Photo) posts must be published using mobile push notifications.

Growth & Advanced Plans

Our Growth and Advanced Plans both include all of Later’s features. The difference between these plans is the number of users and posts included. 

These plans also give you unlimited Access Groups. This allows you to keep your Media Libraries and Social Sets separated for your different brands or clients, while restricting user access to only the Access Groups they need. 

With these plans you’ll get all of the features included in Free and Starter, with the addition of the features outlined below.
