What "free" means here, exactly

Free scheduling tools usually mean one of three things: a trial that ends in a week or two, a permanent plan that allows a handful of posts per channel, or a reminder app that sends you a notification and leaves the posting to you. All three are fair products, and all three are a reason people keep searching for a free scheduler after they have already signed up for one.

Byvano is in a launch period. Until 17 March 2027 every account, new or existing, is on the Growth plan at no charge. There is no card on file, so there is nothing to cancel and nothing that converts into a payment by itself. During that period the scheduler, the calendar, the media library, bulk CSV import, analytics, the AI drafting assistant, the API and the shoppable-video widgets are all switched on.

When the launch period ends, accounts move to the plan they have actually chosen. A Free plan stays available, and the paid plans are flat monthly prices: $29 for Starter and $99 for Growth. The current limits of each plan are on the pricing page, and that page is the source of truth rather than this one. What you scheduled and published stays in your account either way.

How to start scheduling for free

  1. Create an account

    Register on byvano.com. No credit card is requested at any point during the launch period.

  2. Connect Instagram and Facebook

    Connect an Instagram Business or Creator account and a Facebook Page through the official login screens. Byvano never sees your password, and tokens are stored encrypted.

  3. Compose a post or import a batch

    Write a single post in the composer, or upload a CSV to create many at once. The composer checks each post against the rules of the network it is going to before it lets you schedule it.

  4. Pick the time

    Choose a date and time in your own timezone, or publish immediately, or save as a draft. Scheduled posts appear on the calendar, where they can be dragged to a different slot.

  5. Let it publish

    A worker checks the queue every minute and publishes through the official APIs. Each destination reports its own result, and a failure shows the reason the network gave.

What is included at $0

The list below is the product as it runs today, not a roadmap.

  • Scheduling and automatic publishing to Instagram (photos, videos, Reels, Stories) and Facebook Pages (text, photo, video, Reel, link posts).
  • No cap on the number of posts you schedule.
  • A calendar with drag to reschedule, and a media library with folders and tags.
  • Bulk scheduling from a CSV file, with a preview that shows every row and its errors before anything is created.
  • Analytics: reach, reach rate, video views, engagement rate, audience country, age and gender, and hashtag performance.
  • AI drafts for captions and hashtags, which land in the composer for you to edit.
  • A REST API and webhooks, so posts can be created from your own tools.
  • Shoppable video: the same video you scheduled can be shown on your store with products tagged in it.

Who this is a good fit for

Byvano is built for people who run an online store and do their own social media. If most of what you post is product content for Instagram and Facebook, a free tool that covers those two networks completely is more useful than a paid one that covers nine partially.

The part that is specific to stores is what happens after the post. A Reel earns most of its views in the first two days, and then it is gone from the feed. In Byvano the same video can be placed on the product page with the product tagged in it, so the content you already made keeps doing a job. That is included in the same free account.

Frequently asked questions

Is Byvano really free?

Yes. Until 17 March 2027 every account gets the Growth plan free with no credit card. After that a Free plan remains available, and paid plans cost $29 or $99 per month. Nothing converts to a paid plan automatically, because no card is stored.

How many posts can I schedule for free?

There is no cap on the number of scheduled posts. A CSV import accepts up to 500 rows per file, and you can import more than one file.

Which networks does the free scheduler publish to?

Instagram Business and Creator accounts, Facebook Pages and YouTube channels (videos and Shorts). LinkedIn Pages are coming next.

Does it post automatically, or send a reminder?

It posts automatically through the official Instagram and Facebook APIs at the time you chose. You do not have to open your phone to finish the post.

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

No. Registration does not ask for a card. A card is only requested if you later choose a paid plan.

What happens to my scheduled posts when the free period ends?

Your account moves to the plan you have chosen, or to the Free plan if you have not chosen one. Your posts, media and history stay in the account. The limits of each plan are listed on the pricing page.

Are analytics included in the free scheduler?

Yes. Reach, video views, engagement rate, audience breakdowns and hashtag performance are part of the product rather than a paid add-on.

Is Meta Business Suite not already free?

It is, and for basic Instagram and Facebook scheduling it works well. Byvano is worth a look if you also want CSV scheduling, an API, AI caption drafts and the same video shown as a shoppable video on your own store.
