About CoSchedule
CoSchedule is a commercial suite for planning and running marketing work from a shared calendar. Marketing teams and agencies use it to schedule social media posts, plan content, manage tasks and projects, and see everything on a marketing calendar instead of separate tools.
Product areas are grouped into social, content and AI, and operations. Social covers social media management, analytics and a social calendar. Content and AI covers content marketing, AI marketing tools and a content calendar. Operations covers project management, marketing operations, a marketing calendar and agency management. Separate products include Headline Studio, an AI headline writing tool, and the Actionable Marketing Institute, an online learning platform for marketers.
CoSchedule also provides free AI writing tools such as generators for captions, hooks and titles. It is a hosted commercial service with a published pricing page, and it is not open-source software.
