Friends+Me

Friends+Me is a social media scheduling and content management service for people publishing to Facebook Pages, LinkedIn, Twitter, Tumblr or Pinterest. It will suit solo publishers and small teams that want drafts, queues and bulk scheduling in one workflow. Its free tier offers a low-commitment start, while paid plans expand queue capacity and team access.

Overview

Friends+Me brings drafts and scheduled posts together, so users can prepare content before publication and hold it in queues. Bulk scheduling helps people who work in batches; for occasional posting, the paid tiers’ much larger quotas may be unnecessary. Coworkers and friends can be invited to help publish, giving teams a shared workflow with additional-member allowances that increase by plan.

Publishing covers Facebook Pages, LinkedIn Profiles, LinkedIn Company Pages, Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest. That is a useful spread for publishers whose channels fit the list, but a narrow match for anyone who needs another network. Link shortening, browser extensions, mobile and desktop apps round out the workflow. Zapier integration is in beta, so it is best treated as an emerging connection rather than a core reason to choose the service.

Key features

Drafts, queues and batch publishing

Drafts let users refine posts before scheduling. The queue limits determine how far ahead a user can prepare: Free allows five scheduled posts per queue, while paid plans range from 500 to 5,000 per queue. Bulk scheduling makes the larger allowances more useful for people preparing a steady stream of posts; lighter users may not need that headroom.

Collaboration and support

All plans allow additional team members, from one on Free to 50 on Large. That makes the entry plan suitable for a small shared workflow, while larger teams can add collaborators without outgrowing the listed member caps immediately. Free includes standard support; paid plans include priority support, a practical upgrade for teams that value faster assistance.

Pricing

Friends+Me is freemium, with a free plan and a free trial. The terms describe the free service as a testing promotion lasting a maximum of 15 days, while the pricing page describes the Free plan as available for an unlimited period. That difference makes the free duration worth clarifying before relying on it long term.

Individual is the first substantial increase in queue capacity and member allowance; Small, Medium and Large scale those limits for broader publishing operations. Extra on-demand queues cost $2.99 per month each, which can add capacity without requiring a move to a larger base plan.

Platforms

Friends+Me supports Android, iOS, web, browser extensions, and desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux. That range accommodates users moving between mobile and desktop, though platform breadth does not expand its supported publishing networks.

Who it's for

Choose Friends+Me if your publishing centers on its six supported networks and you want drafts, scheduled queues, batch preparation and room for collaborators. It is less suitable when you need a network outside that set or when the free plan’s queue and post caps are too restrictive. The terms’ conflicting descriptions of free-service duration also matter to anyone choosing it specifically as a permanent free tool.

Pros and cons

Pros: Drafts, bulk scheduling and team participation combine in one publishing workflow, useful for people who prepare content ahead with collaborators.

Pros: Paid plans scale from 5 to 120 queues and from 10 to 50 additional team members, accommodating larger publishing setups.

Pros: Android, iOS, web, extension and desktop options cover multiple working environments.

Cons: Free caps each of its two queues at five scheduled posts, limiting how far ahead a user can plan.

Cons: Publishing is limited to six named networks, excluding users who depend on other channels.

Cons: Free-service duration is described as both a maximum 15-day testing promotion and an unlimited-period plan.

Alternatives

For a lightweight free option, Buffer offers up to three channels and 10 scheduled posts per channel on its free plan. CoSchedule is another freemium choice, with a Starter plan at $29 a month billed annually and a $39/month option. Later may suit users comparing a service with a free plan capped at one Access Group and calendar access limited to two weeks in the past and future; its Starter plan is $18.75 a month billed yearly.

Postcron offers a free plan with three social accounts and 10 pending posts, while its Personal plan has no published price. Agorapulse has a free plan for one user and three social profiles, with 10 scheduled posts. Postly is a paid alternative at $16 a month, with a five-channel minimum and unlimited scheduled posts and team members. Social Champ offers a free plan for three social accounts, one user and 15 scheduled posts per profile. Hopper HQ Hashtag Generator is another freemium option, including a free Instagram Hashtag Generator.

Verdict

Friends+Me is a good fit for individuals and teams whose channels match its supported networks and who benefit from drafts, batch scheduling and queues that grow with their publishing volume. Its strongest reason to choose it is the combination of those workflow tools with rising team and queue limits across the plans. Look elsewhere if you need broader network coverage, or if you need a free plan whose duration is unambiguous.
