When Clem is the better fit
If Instagram and TikTok are the only places you post, you plan only in Notion, and you would rather use Clem’s own content calendar template, Clem does that job well and is a reasonable choice.
When Ninecast is the better fit
- You post to more than Instagram and TikTok, from one calendar.
- Your calendar lives in Airtable, or you have clients on both Notion and Airtable.
- You want each post’s results written back into its row, for reporting.
- You want to try the grid for free, with no card, before deciding.
- You run more than 2 accounts on the entry plan.
Clem and Ninecast both put a live Instagram grid inside Notion and post for you. Ninecast adds more platforms, Airtable, results back in your rows and a free plan.

Questions that follow
What is the best alternative to Clem?
Ninecast. Like Clem it reads your Notion database, shows a live Instagram grid inside Notion that you can rearrange, and posts each row on its date. It also posts to Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and TikTok, works in Airtable as well as Notion, writes Instagram results back into each row, and has a free plan with no card.
What is the difference between Clem and Ninecast?
Clem posts to Instagram and TikTok from Notion (its site, checked 5 November 2026). Ninecast posts to Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and TikTok, from Notion or Airtable, and writes each post's link and its Instagram likes, comments, saves and reach back into the row. Clem's trial takes a card; ours does not.
Is Ninecast cheaper than Clem?
At the entry plan they cost the same: $15 a month, with 3 planners on Ninecast against Clem's 2. Our Studio plan is $25 a month for 6 planners, against $39 a month for 6 on Clem. Ninecast also has a free plan: the grid preview for good, plus 2 posts.
Does Clem work with Airtable?
Clem's home page and FAQ talk only about Notion and do not mention Airtable (checked 5 November 2026). Ninecast runs as an extension inside your Airtable base, with the same live grid and the same posting as in Notion.
Is there a free alternative to Clem?
Yes. Ninecast's Instagram grid preview inside Notion or Airtable is free with no time limit and no card, and the free plan includes 2 published posts so you can see posting work before you pay.
Can I move from Clem without rebuilding my calendar?
Yes. Both read the Notion database you already have, so your rows, dates, captions and images stay where they are. Connect Ninecast to the same database, confirm which column is which, and the grid fills from those rows.
