Friends+Me

Friends+Me is a social media scheduling and content management tool for people publishing across several supported networks. It suits individuals and teams that need drafts, queues and bulk scheduling, with desktop and mobile apps alongside web access. Its free plan is a practical starting point, but the tight queue and post caps make a paid tier more suitable for sustained publishing.

Overview

Friends+Me combines scheduled publishing with drafts, so posts can be prepared and refined before they go live. Teams can invite coworkers or friends to help publish, and link shortening, browser extensions, mobile apps and desktop apps round out the workflow. Bulk scheduling is useful for preparing a batch of content at once; the modest Free limits, however, restrict how much can sit in the queue.

Publishing is supported for Facebook Pages, LinkedIn Profiles, LinkedIn Company Pages, Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest. Zapier is available as a beta integration. That defined network list may suit users focused on those channels, but it is a poor fit if publishing to other networks is essential.

Key features

Queues, drafts and collaboration

Drafts let users hold work for later refinement rather than treating every post as ready to publish. Queues organize scheduled content, while the per-plan allowance determines how much can be waiting at once. The Free plan's two queues and five scheduled posts per queue are enough for a small, occasional workflow, not a deep publishing calendar.

Bulk scheduling can reduce repetitive setup for users preparing many posts. The paid plans scale from five to 120 queues and from 500 to 5,000 scheduled posts per queue, while increasing the number of additional team members from 10 to 50. This makes the higher tiers relevant to larger publishing operations, though their value depends on needing that capacity.

Apps and support

Friends+Me supports Android, iOS, web, browser extensions, and desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux. This breadth is useful for teams working across different devices and operating systems. Free users receive standard support; every paid plan includes priority support.

Pricing

Friends+Me is freemium, with an ongoing Free plan and paid plans billed annually or monthly. The terms also describe the free service as a testing promotion lasting a maximum of 15 days, while the pricing page presents the Free plan as available for an unlimited period. That conflict makes it worth confirming the free-plan terms before relying on it long term.

Individual is the modest step up for a solo publisher who has outgrown five queued posts per queue. Small and Medium add capacity and team members for growing operations; Large is for workloads that can justify 120 queues and 50 additional members. Additional on-demand queues cost $2.99 per month per queue, which offers a narrower way to add capacity. The plans include a free trial, but no trial length is provided.

Platforms

Friends+Me runs on Android, iOS, web, extensions, and desktop apps for Linux, macOS and Windows. The range helps users keep a publishing workflow across mobile and desktop devices without being tied to one operating system.

Who it's for

Choose Friends+Me if you publish to its supported networks and want drafts, bulk scheduling, queues and the option to involve collaborators. The free tier can suit light use, while the paid plans better fit users who need larger queues or more team members. Look elsewhere if your must-have publishing networks are outside Facebook Pages, LinkedIn Profiles, LinkedIn Company Pages, Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Queues, drafts and bulk scheduling support a more organized publishing workflow, especially for users preparing posts in batches.
• Pros: Desktop apps for Linux, macOS and Windows, plus mobile apps and browser extensions, give users several ways to work across devices.
• Pros: Paid tiers scale substantially in queues, scheduled-post capacity and additional team members, with priority support included.
• Cons: The Free plan allows only two queues and five scheduled posts per queue, limiting it for frequent publishers.
• Cons: Publishing is centered on six named networks, so users needing other channels should consider another tool.
• Cons: The free-service terms describe both a maximum 15-day testing promotion and an unlimited-period Free plan, leaving the duration unclear.

Alternatives

Consider Buffer if a free plan connecting up to three channels and allowing 10 scheduled posts per channel better matches your needs. Metricool is an option for managing one brand and scheduling up to 20 posts per month on its free plan. Choose Social Champ if its free allowance of three social accounts, one user and 15 scheduled posts per profile suits your workflow.

CoSchedule is another option in this category. Later offers a calendar with access limited to two weeks in the past and future on its Free plan. Post Planner has a free plan with one social account, one user, 10 scheduled posts and three daily posts per profile. Postcron is another alternative. Zoho Social offers a free plan for one brand, six social channels and one team member. Browse the Social Media Scheduling Software category for more options.

Verdict

Friends+Me is best for individuals and teams who publish to its supported networks and want a scalable queue-based workflow with broad desktop and mobile coverage. Its standout case is the combination of drafts, bulk scheduling and paid-plan capacity that grows with collaborators. Choose another scheduler if its network coverage does not match yours, or if the Free plan's small queue and conflicting duration terms are deal-breakers.
