Why teams switch to Julexis

AI that writes, draws and films

Write captions and rewrites with AI, generate images and edit part of an image, or generate a video, all from the post editor. Monthly AI credits are included, so there is no OpenAI or Google key to set up.

Clients approve without an account

Send your client a private link protected by a password you set. They open it without a Julexis account, approve posts or ask for changes post by post, and you get one notification when they finish.

A full content plan in one go

Julexis can generate a whole editorial plan at once, up to 84 posts, and suggest the best times to publish. Give it the client's documents or website and the AI keeps to the client's voice.

Each network gets a post it can publish

Give every network its own caption and media in one editor. Before a post is scheduled, Julexis checks it against each network's rules and tells you what would fail. Long X posts become threads, and TikTok videos can have a custom cover.

Where Publer slows agencies down

01
The price grows with every social account
Publer prices each social account separately: two Facebook Pages and two Instagram accounts count as four. On monthly billing, Professional is $5 a month for one account and $9 for two.source
02
AI Assist is a Business plan feature
Publer's own AI comes with the Business plan. On Free and Professional you can connect your own OpenAI key, and OpenAI bills you directly for the prompts.source
03
Approvals come with paid members
Publer's calculator ties collaboration and approval workflows to additional members, priced on top of the plan. On monthly Professional, one account with one member is $7 a month instead of $5.source

Questions

Is AI included in Julexis, or is it an add-on?

It is included. Julexis plans come with monthly AI credits for writing captions, generating images and videos, and building content plans. You never connect your own OpenAI or Google key.

Can my client approve posts without creating an account?

Yes. You send a private review link and set its password. Your client opens it in a browser, approves each post or asks for changes, and you are notified once, when they have finished.

Can Julexis generate a whole content plan?

Yes. It can generate an editorial plan of up to 84 posts in one go, using the client's brief, and suggest the best times to publish.

Can I set a custom cover for TikTok videos?

Yes. You can upload your own cover image or pick a frame from the video.

How much does Julexis cost?

Julexis is in an invitation-only closed beta and is free during the beta. Prices are not public yet. Approved beta testers will get a discount on their first year before the public launch.
