CoSchedule
Tool · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.
Overview
CoSchedule is a marketing calendar: planning and publishing not only social network posts, but also content and tasks. The self-description from the homepage: "Plan, schedule, and execute everything marketing from social, content, tasks, and beyond." That is the tool's own claim about itself.
The interface language of the homepage is en; the markup declares no other language versions.
The tool differs from most schedulers in that it keeps the list of connectable platforms not on a marketing page but in the help centre — and there the list is more detailed and more precise than advertising usually is.
Which platforms it works with
The list is taken from the help page "Social Account Types You Can Connect to CoSchedule Calendars":
Bluesky, Facebook Pages, Google Business Profile, Instagram Business and Creator, LinkedIn Pages and Profiles, Mastodon, Pinterest, Threads, TikTok, Twitter/X, YouTube Shorts.
Eleven entries, and the wording in them matters at least the names. Facebook — pages only, not personal profiles. Instagram — only Business and Creator, that is, a personal account will have to be converted to another type on the platform's own side. LinkedIn, on the contrary, is supported in both forms: company pages and personal profiles. YouTube is named precisely as "YouTube Shorts", not as the channel as a whole.
Mastodon and Bluesky in the list are a notable detail: not every scheduler supports decentralised networks.
What is free
The tool does have a free plan — the help page links to it directly, while stipulating one restriction: Twitter/X is not available on the free plan. The other ten platforms carry no such caveat.
What else is and is not included in the free plan the source does not describe: neither the number of accounts, nor the number of posts, nor a time limit. Exactly one exception is known — the one about Twitter/X.
How you earn with it
An expectation has to be dispelled straight away. CoSchedule does not pay partners money. In the footer of the site there is an "Affiliate Program" link, but it leads to the address /blog/coschedule-affiliate, which redirects to a blog article about writing a review. There is no separate affiliate programme page and no terms of a money commission behind that link — there is an article, and everything we know about the programme is taken from it.
What the reward is. A discount on your own subscription: 50 % off for a year for a published review of the tool and an additional 10 % off for each paid purchase through the referral link. No money payments are announced at all.
How long the discount lasts. As long as the referred customers remain paying. The opposite is stated directly as well: if the referral leaves, the discount is lost. So the reward is not only not in money, but also revocable.
Who can take part. Customers of the CoSchedule Social Calendar — the referral link is issued to all paying customers. For a person who has not bought a subscription the programme makes no sense: there is nothing to apply the discount to. The review is checked against the rules set out in the same article.
Where the terms are. There is no separate terms page — the rules are set out in the blog article, and it also serves as the programme's document.
What it will not do
It will not pay you money. Neither rates nor payouts: the reward is only a discount on a subscription. The payout threshold and the transfer methods in this programme are not "unnamed" but inapplicable: there is nothing to pay.
It will not keep the discount if the referral has left. The condition is named explicitly.
It will not admit to the programme anyone who does not pay for the tool. The referral link is issued to paying Social Calendar customers.
It will not let you publish to Twitter/X for free. That is the only named restriction of the free plan.
It will not connect a personal Facebook profile or a personal Instagram account. The help centre names Facebook Pages and Instagram Business and Creator — the account types are set out explicitly.
