Planning visually, then making the work
You do not lose the visual workflow: the calendar has day, week and month views with drag-and-drop, and the composer previews each post as the network will actually render it. A media library with AI tagging keeps assets findable, and image and video editors handle crops and trims in place.
What is new is that the content can be made there too — captions in a saved brand voice, Imagen 4 images, Veo short video, reusable hashtag sets — and that Instagram-specific formats are first class: Reels with a cover frame you choose (a moment in the video or an image you supply) and Trial Reels that reach non-followers first. Assistants like Claude and ChatGPT can also schedule for you through a hosted MCP server, scoped to the brands and accounts you grant.
Where Later still fits
If your work is Instagram-first visual curation — planning how a grid will look, Link in Bio, influencer and UGC campaigns — Later's tooling for that is more specialised than ours and you may prefer it. Its grid preview in particular is a nicer experience if arranging a feed aesthetically is a daily task. The case for moving is multi-network publishing, posting volume beyond the caps, needing team or client review, or wanting creation in the same tool.
Moving over
Reconnect networks, bulk-import scheduled content, and carry on planning in the calendar. A 14-day Professional trial starts on signup with no card, and paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee.
