Where Publer is the better choice
No product wins everything. Publer beats snazzy on:
- Post recycling and evergreen queues
- Watermarking, RSS auto-posting and bulk scheduling
- Very good value per dollar across many networks
If any of those are the reason you are shopping, buy theirs. You will be happier.

Why snazzy can afford a free tier
Most schedulers run on always-on servers and bill for video storage and bandwidth, so every free user costs them money every month. snazzy runs on Cloudflare Workers, D1 and R2: an idle account costs us essentially nothing, and R2 charges no egress fees — the line item that hurts most for a video product. That is why our free tier has no expiry and needs no card. It is not a promotion we have to withdraw later.
