Common questions
- Can Postgenic replace Later entirely?
- For most small businesses, yes. If you're Instagram-only and planning visual grids is core to your strategy, Later's UI is still worth the separate subscription.
- Does Postgenic schedule to Instagram directly?
- Yes, including carousels and reels via the Meta Graph API. No more push-notification workarounds.
