Why people switch
Pay for the accounts you post on
Post Once charges for source accounts, the accounts you keep posting on. Solo is $9 a month for one, Studio is $19 for three, and Agency is $99 for as many as you run. Every plan reposts to as many accounts as you connect. OneUp counts cross-posting workflows, one per account you post from: one on Basic at $25 a month, three on Intermediate at $60 and five on Growth at $120, or $15, $48 and $84 a month billed yearly. Basic also stops at five social accounts, so a source with five destinations needs a sixth at $5 a month. See every plan and limit.
Reposts in minutes, not an hour later
Post Once checks Instagram and X for new posts every minute, and YouTube, Facebook and Threads every five minutes. Once a post is found and its upload finishes, it goes out to every account on your list with its caption. OneUp's cross-posting page says it checks your source accounts once an hour, and it only reads Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, so a YouTube video, a Threads post or an X post is never picked up. For anything timely, like a trend, a launch or news in your niche, an hour can decide whether you join the conversation or arrive after it. Here is how automatic cross posting works.
A backup in storage you own
Every post and Story can also be saved, with its caption, to your own Google Drive, Dropbox, Backblaze B2 or Amazon S3. OneUp connects to Google Drive and Dropbox so you can pull media into a post, but its docs don't describe saving your posts back out to storage you own. If an account is hacked, banned or deleted, that copy is the one you keep. You choose what each backup saves: photos, short videos, long videos or Stories. Read why a backup matters and which storage costs least.
A dashboard built only for reposting
The dashboard shows your source account, the accounts it reposts to, and each new post with its status: pending, posted, failed or not posted. When an upload fails, Post Once tries again on its own, up to five times over about half an hour. If it still can't post, the reason shows in red, you get an email, and Retry sends it again to just the accounts it missed. There is no calendar, queue or composer to learn, because you never write, upload or schedule anything there. You keep posting in the app you already use.

What a year costs
Slide to the number of brands you run. A brand is one account you post on, with its other accounts as destinations.
OneUp
$576
Intermediate, billed yearly
Post Once
$190
Studio, billed yearly
Post Once costs $386 less a year.
OneUp counts cross-posting workflows, one per account you post from, so here a brand is one workflow. Its plans also cap social accounts, five on Basic, and extra ones cost $1 to $5 a month, so its real total can be higher. Post Once's Free plan is left out because its 10 reposts do not renew.

Is there a free OneUp alternative?
Post Once has a Free plan with 10 reposts and 10 backups, no card needed and no watermark. The reposts have no time limit, so you can watch it work on your own posts before you pay. OneUp has no free plan: every plan starts with a 7-day trial, then costs from $25 a month.
Can Post Once pick up posts from YouTube, Threads or X?
Yes. Connect any of them as your source account and each new post is reposted to your other accounts. OneUp's cross-posting reads from Facebook, Instagram and TikTok only.
Can Post Once repost my TikToks?
Not yet. Post Once picks up posts from Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Threads and X. If your posts start on TikTok, OneUp can read them and Post Once can't.
How many accounts can one source repost to?
As many as you connect, on every plan. OneUp cross-posts each source account to up to 10 accounts and asks you to contact it for more.
Does Post Once back up my posts?
Yes. Each post and Story can be saved with its caption to Google Drive, Dropbox, Backblaze B2 or Amazon S3. OneUp imports media from Google Drive and Dropbox, but its docs don't describe backing your posts up. See which storage costs least.
What is the best OneUp alternative?
It depends on where you post. If your posts start on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Threads or X and you want them on your other accounts within minutes, with a copy in your own storage, Post Once does exactly that from $9 a month. If they start on TikTok, OneUp can read them and Post Once cannot yet. Comparing more tools? Read our Repurpose.io alternative page too.

Yes. Your first payment on a paid plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee. OneUp refunds you if you cancel within a week of its free trial ending.
Can I run both while I switch?
Yes. Once Post Once has reposted your next post, turn off the matching OneUp cross-posting workflow, or that post goes out twice.
