A Metricool alternative whose AI makes images, video and whole plans.

Metricool is well liked, with brand-based pricing that many agencies know. Julexis differs in what the AI produces, how X is handled, and which networks reach your inbox and your first comments. Every Metricool detail below comes from their pricing page and help center.

Why teams switch to Julexis

AI that goes past the caption

Write captions and rewrites, generate images with GPT Image 2.5 or Nano Banana Pro, edit part of an image, make a video with Google Veo 3.1 Lite, or draft a whole plan of up to 84 posts. AI credits come with the plan. There is no API key to bring.

X works like every other network

Publish to X from the same editor as the other six networks. A post over 280 characters goes out as a thread automatically, and you can schedule a first comment with it.

An inbox that includes Threads

Comments from Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, LinkedIn and TikTok arrive in one place, with AI reply suggestions. A person always sends the reply.

Problems caught before scheduling

If a network cannot publish a post because of the wrong format, a missing video for Reels or text that is too long, Julexis refuses it for that network and says why. You find out before the post is scheduled, not after it fails.

AI credits cannot be topped up

Questions

What does Julexis cost?

Julexis is in an invitation-only closed beta, and it is free for the testers we approve. Prices are not public yet. Beta testers will be offered a discount on their first year before the public launch.

Does Julexis publish to X?

Yes. X is one of the seven networks Julexis publishes to. A post over 280 characters becomes a thread automatically, and you can add a first comment.

Can the AI make images and video, not just text?

Yes. From the editor you can generate images with GPT Image 2.5 or Nano Banana Pro, edit part of an image, and generate video with Google Veo 3.1 Lite.

Is AI included, or do I need my own OpenAI key?

It is included. Every plan comes with a monthly amount of AI credits for captions, images, video and content plans. You never paste in an OpenAI or Google key.

Do Threads comments show up in the inbox?

Yes. The inbox collects comments from Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, LinkedIn and TikTok, with AI reply suggestions you review before sending.
