Social media scheduling tools often look cheap until you use them. You add a second brand, connect a fifth account, invite one teammate, and the price moves up a tier.

This post covers what pushes the cost up, what a cheap tool still needs to do, and what Khula charges.

Why scheduling tools get expensive

Most pricing follows a few patterns.

• Per account pricing. Every profile you connect adds to the bill.
• Per user pricing. Each teammate takes a paid seat.
• Post limits. The plan caps how many posts you can schedule each month.
• Locked features. Analytics or extra brands sit on a higher plan.
• Foreign currency billing. If you earn in one currency and pay in another, the exchange rate changes what you pay. Our guide to social media scheduling tools in Nigeria covers this in more detail.

Before you pay for anything, work out the real monthly cost for the number of accounts and brands you have. The price on the front page is rarely the price you end up paying.

What a cheap tool still needs to do

A low price only helps if the tool does the job. These are the basics.

• It posts to the platforms you use. That usually means Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, LinkedIn and YouTube.
• It lets you write one post and adjust it for each platform.
• It has a calendar, so you can see gaps in your week or month.
• It publishes through each platform’s official tools, so your reach stays the same as posting by hand.
• It connects to your accounts through the platform’s own login and never asks for your passwords.

Anything past that is a bonus. A lot of people pay for features they never open.

What Khula costs

Khula has two plans. Both start with a 7 day free trial, and you don’t need a card to begin.

Solo, ₦5,000 a month

Solo is for creators who post regularly. You get 1 workspace, 4 connected accounts and unlimited posts every month. It includes posting to several platforms in one action, a visual calendar, an AI caption generator, a posting streak tracker and entry level analytics.

Studio, ₦10,000 a month

Studio is for social media managers and anyone running more than one brand. You get 3 workspaces, unlimited connected accounts and unlimited posts. It includes everything in Solo plus advanced analytics. Each workspace has its own accounts, calendar and posts, so nothing gets published to the wrong account.

Annual billing saves you two months on either plan. Neither plan has a post limit, so you can schedule as much as you want without counting.

What makes Khula simple

Khula covers the parts of scheduling that most people use every day. You upload your content once, pick your platforms, and either schedule it or post it right away.

The AI caption tool looks at your image and writes a caption in the tone you choose. You can keep it, refine it or regenerate it until it sounds like you.

The calendar shows what is planned, scheduled and already posted. An empty day is easy to spot before it turns into a missed one.

Workspaces keep each brand or client separate. If you manage several, you switch between them in one click.

How scheduling works in Khula

1. Create a workspace for your brand or client and connect your social accounts.
2. Upload your post and choose the platforms.
3. Schedule it for later or post it now.

Who Khula may not suit

Khula focuses on planning, scheduling, captions and analytics. If you need a shared inbox for replying to comments and messages, or social listening, a larger tool will suit you better. Khula also supports six platforms right now. If you post somewhere that isn’t on the list, check before you sign up.
