When NotionScheduler is the better fit
If you need a network we do not post to yet, or you post a little each month and want a free plan with 10 posts a month, NotionScheduler is the better choice, and a good one.
When Ninecast is the better fit
- Your Instagram feed is judged as a grid, and you want to see it before it posts.
- You rearrange your feed by dragging posts, not by editing dates one by one.
- Your calendar, or a client’s, lives in Airtable.
- You show clients their feed before anything goes out.
NotionScheduler publishes from Notion to many networks. Ninecast adds the live Instagram grid inside Notion or Airtable, and posts from the same rows.

Questions that follow
What is the best alternative to NotionScheduler?
If the look of your Instagram feed matters, Ninecast. It reads the same Notion database, shows a live Instagram grid inside your Notion page that you can rearrange by dragging, and posts each row on its date to Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and TikTok. It also works in Airtable.
What is the difference between NotionScheduler and Ninecast?
NotionScheduler publishes from Notion to more networks than we do; for a feed preview its site points you to Notion's gallery view (checked 5 November 2026). Ninecast posts to Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and TikTok and is built around a real Instagram grid in tall 3:4 tiles inside Notion or Airtable.
Does NotionScheduler have an Instagram grid preview?
Not of its own. Its site suggests a Notion gallery view to preview your grid (checked 5 November 2026), which is a page of cards rather than Instagram's three-across profile grid. Ninecast's grid matches the profile, updates as you edit, and lets you drag one post onto another to swap their dates.
Is NotionScheduler or Ninecast cheaper?
NotionScheduler's free plan includes 10 scheduled posts a month, and its paid plans start at 10 euros a month. Ninecast's grid preview is free for good with 2 posts included, and Creator is $15 a month for 3 planners with unlimited posts. Studio is $25 for 6.
Does NotionScheduler work with Airtable?
Its site talks only about Notion and does not mention Airtable (checked 5 November 2026). Ninecast works in both: a Notion embed, or an extension inside your Airtable base, with the same grid and the same posting.
Do both write results back into Notion?
Yes. NotionScheduler syncs engagement back into Notion. Ninecast writes each post's link into its row, and for Instagram the likes, comments, shares, saves, reach and views, in Notion or in Airtable.
