Frequently asked questions
ReelDrop wrote these. Why trust them?
Read them knowing that. Every page has a section on where ReelDrop falls short and a list of reasons to pick the other tool, competitor prices come from the vendors’ own pricing pages, and each page ends with its sources so you can check them.
How current are the prices?
Each page shows the month it was last updated and lists what changed. Prices in this category move often, so check the vendor’s pricing page before you buy.
Does ReelDrop post anywhere other than Instagram?
No. ReelDrop publishes to Instagram and nothing else. If you also post to TikTok, LinkedIn or Facebook, a multi-network scheduler such as Buffer, Publer or Hootsuite will suit you better.
Can I try ReelDrop next to the tool I use now?
Yes. The free Starter plan covers one Instagram account with unlimited scheduling and posting and 5 DM automations, and it never asks for a credit card. Run both for a week and keep whichever earns it.
