Quick verdict

Where Typefully wins

Typefully is genuinely excellent at writing threads for X. Its composer is fast, keyboard-first and built for long-form threading, and it has a loyal following among X power users for good reason.

It also starts free (10 posts a month), publishes to more networks than Postopus (Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon and Substack), and includes first comments and LinkedIn PDF carousels on every plan. Its LinkedIn preview is realistic too, with the "See more" cut and a mobile view.

We're not going to pretend otherwise: for an X-native thread writer on a budget, Typefully is a strong default.

Where Postopus differentiates

All your brands on one plan. Deep Diver covers all your projects, each a workspace with its LinkedIn and X accounts, at $79 a month. Typefully's Business plan is priced per social set, so the cost grows with each brand you manage.

A real approval step. In Postopus, when approval is on for a writer, an owner or admin approves the post before it can publish, and the writer is notified either way; see teams and approvals. Typefully's teams share drafts and split write and publish permissions.

AI grounded in your facts and rules. Both tools say their AI learns how you write. Tako also drafts only from the facts you add in the Brain (a missing detail becomes a {placeholder}), follows your own writing rules on every draft, and shows you exactly what it sees. It never publishes for you.

First comments and threads on X too. Postopus posts first comments on LinkedIn and X, and splits long text into a thread in one click; see scheduling, or try the free thread splitter and X character counter.

A lifetime option. Kraken is a one-time $349 for one project for life, with all future updates. There are 50 spots.

Pricing compared

Postopus prices by project, with every feature on every plan and unlimited posts. A project is one workspace with its LinkedIn and X accounts. Inkling is one project for one person at $29/month or $290/year. Deep Diver covers all your projects for up to 5 people at $79/month or $790/year, with extra seats $12/month each. Kraken - Lifetime Founder is Inkling forever for a one-time $349, limited to 50 spots. Yearly billing gives you 2 months free, and every plan has a monthly fair-use allowance for AI and X. Every account starts with a 7-day free trial, no credit card.

Typefully has a free plan (10 posts a month, one social set), a Creator plan at $99 a year (billed annually only), and a Business plan at $20 a month per social set ($18 billed yearly), checked on typefully.com/pricing on October 18, 2026. For one X account, Typefully can cost less; for four or more brands, Deep Diver at $79 a month works out cheaper than Business.
