What Dripost does differently

These are true of Dripost today. They are not claims about what any other tool lacks.

  • One rulebook for preview and publish

    The preview and the publisher read the same rules, so a preview cannot promise something publishing then refuses.

  • Refused before it fails

    A post a network would refuse is stopped with the reason while you can still fix it.

  • Failures stay on the calendar

    A failed post keeps its place, shows why for each network, and can be retried for just the networks that refused it.

  • At most once

    Each post goes to each network at most once. If we cannot tell whether one landed, we ask you rather than send it again.

  • Free tools with no account

    Eight working tools that run in your browser and store nothing.
