When Scheduled is the better fit
If most of your work is on LinkedIn, whether that is your own personal brand or ghostwriting for other people, Scheduled was made for you and we would point you there. You get polls, tagging, a preview of where your hook gets cut off, and click counts on your links. It also makes sense if you run a lot of client accounts, because its Agency plan has no limit on databases or connections, or if you need a network we do not post to yet.
When Ninecast is the better fit
The problem we solve is a very particular one. You have planned the whole month in Notion and everything looks fine as a list, but you cannot tell whether three dark photos are about to land next to each other until they are already live on your profile. If that sounds familiar, these are the reasons to choose Ninecast:
- You want to see your Instagram feed as a grid before anything posts, built from the real rows in your database.
- You would rather fix the order by dragging one post onto another than by editing dates one at a time.
- You pin to Pinterest as well as posting everywhere else.
- Your calendar, or a client’s, lives in Airtable.
- You want to show a client their feed before it goes out, in the same page where the content is planned.
Scheduled is the stronger choice when LinkedIn is the main channel. Ninecast is the one that shows your Instagram feed as a live grid inside Notion or Airtable, and posts from the same rows.

Questions that follow
What is the best alternative to Scheduled for Notion?
If Instagram matters to you and you want to see your feed before it posts, Ninecast. It reads the Notion database you already plan in, 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 works in Airtable as well.
What is the difference between Scheduled and Ninecast?
Scheduled is built first for LinkedIn creators, ghostwriters and agencies, and it goes deep there, with polls, tagging and link click counts (its site, checked 9 November 2026). Ninecast is built around seeing your Instagram feed as a real grid inside Notion or Airtable, and posting from the same rows to Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and TikTok.
Does Scheduled have an Instagram grid preview?
Its site does not mention one (checked 9 November 2026). Scheduled's preview is a free Chrome extension that shows how a post will look on each network, which is useful for checking a caption but does not show your profile as a grid. Ninecast's grid matches your profile in tall 3:4 tiles, updates as you edit, and lets you drag one post onto another to swap their dates.
Is Scheduled or Ninecast cheaper?
Scheduled's Solo plan is 12 euros a month, or 9 euros a month billed yearly, before VAT, for 1 Notion database and 3 social connections. It has a 14-day free trial and does not list a free plan. Ninecast's grid preview is free for good with 2 posts included, and Creator is $15 a month, or $12 billed yearly, for 3 planners with unlimited posts.
Does Scheduled work with Airtable?
Its site talks only about Notion and does not mention Airtable (checked 9 November 2026). Ninecast works in both: an embed in your Notion page, or an extension inside your Airtable base, with the same grid and the same posting.
Does Scheduled post to Pinterest?
Pinterest is not among the networks on its site (checked 9 November 2026). Ninecast publishes Pins from the same Notion database or Airtable base as the rest of your posts.
Do both write results back into Notion?
Yes, and Scheduled does more of it. It syncs stats for your posts into Notion every 8 hours and adds link click counts. Ninecast writes each post's link into its row on every platform, and the engagement numbers for Instagram only: likes, comments, shares, saves, reach and views.
Is Scheduled better for LinkedIn?
If LinkedIn is your main channel, yes. Scheduled has polls, tagging for people and company pages, and a hook preview made for LinkedIn. Ninecast posts to LinkedIn personal profiles from the same rows as everything else, which suits people for whom LinkedIn is one channel among several.
