If you run a personal account plus one for each site or client, X (formerly Twitter) gets messy fast. The app lets you switch between up to five accounts, but it cannot show them side by side, schedule for all of them from one screen, or tell you which account a mention belongs to without switching. That is what the tools below are for.
This list was updated in October 2026. TweetDeck became the paid X Pro, DrumUp shut down, and the prices of Hootsuite, Buffer, and Agorapulse have all changed, so every tool and plan here was rechecked. The 7 tools below cover everything from a free dashboard to agency-grade suites.
Multiple X Account Tools Compared
| Tool | Free Plan | Paid From | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| X Pro (TweetDeck) | No (needs X Premium) | $8/month with Premium | Live multi-column monitoring |
| Buffer | 3 channels | $5 per channel/month | Cheapest scheduling for a few accounts |
| Metricool | 1 brand | About $18/month | Scheduling plus analytics on a budget |
| Typefully | Yes, limited | About $12.50/month | Writing and growing on X |
| Hypefury | Trial | $19/month | Automation for creators |
| Hootsuite | 30-day trial | $99/month | Teams and agencies |
| Agorapulse | Limited free plan | $79/user/month | Shared inbox and reporting |
1. X Pro (formerly TweetDeck)
TweetDeck was the free, semi-official way to manage several Twitter accounts in one window for over a decade. In 2023 it was renamed X Pro and moved behind X Premium, so it now costs about $8 a month (Premium) and is no longer free. If you pay, it is still the best live view: columns for each account\’s home feed, notifications, mentions, lists, and searches side by side, with scheduling and posting from any connected account.
Key features:
- Unlimited columns across multiple accounts
- Post and schedule from any account
- Real-time search and list columns
- Decks to save column layouts
- Requires an X Premium subscription
Pricing: Included with X Premium (about $8 per month).
2. Buffer
Buffer is the simplest scheduler and the best value for a handful of accounts. The free plan connects 3 channels (an X account counts as one) with 10 scheduled posts each. Essentials is $5 per channel per month with unlimited scheduling, analytics, and an AI assistant, so three X accounts cost $15 a month. You write once, customize per channel, and queue to set time slots. Buffer also supports Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube.
Key features:
- Free plan for 3 channels
- Per-channel pricing, no user fees on Essentials
- Queue with preset posting times
- Browser extension and mobile apps
- Analytics and engagement inbox
Pricing: Free for 3 channels. Essentials $5 per channel per month; Team $10 per channel per month with unlimited users.
3. Metricool
Metricool is the budget all-in-one: scheduling, a unified inbox, competitor tracking, and detailed analytics for X and every other major network, including ad reporting. The free plan covers one brand (one account per network) with 50 scheduled posts a month. Paid plans start around $18 a month and add more brands, so an agency can keep each client\’s X account in its own workspace with its own reports.
Key features:
- Free plan for one brand
- Scheduling, inbox, and analytics together
- Brand workspaces for multiple clients
- Competitor and hashtag tracking
- PDF reports
Pricing: Free for 1 brand. Paid plans from about $18 per month.
4. Typefully
Typefully is built for people who write on X rather than just broadcast to it. The editor shows exactly how a post or thread will look, with AI suggestions, a queue, auto-plugs (reply with a link once a post hits a threshold), and growth analytics. It supports multiple X accounts plus LinkedIn and Threads, so a creator with a personal brand and a company account can draft and schedule both in one place. There is a free plan with limits and paid plans from about $12.50 a month.
Key features:
- Clean writing and thread editor
- Multiple X, LinkedIn, and Threads accounts
- Auto-plug and auto-retweet
- Growth analytics
- Free plan available
Pricing: Free plan. Creator plan from about $12.50 per month.
5. Hypefury
Hypefury is the automation choice. Beyond scheduling to several X accounts, it recycles your best-performing posts automatically, auto-plugs your newsletter or product under posts that take off, cross-posts to LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, and Instagram, and has an AI writer trained on your past posts. It is popular with creators who treat X as a sales channel.
Key features:
- Evergreen post recycling
- Auto-plug and auto-DM
- Cross-posting to other networks
- AI writing from your own voice
- Multiple X accounts on higher plans
Pricing: From $19 per month after a free trial.
6. Hootsuite
Hootsuite is the oldest social media management suite and has moved firmly upmarket. There is no free plan anymore; Standard is $99 a month (billed yearly) for 10 social accounts and one user, Professional is $199 for unlimited accounts. For that you get streams (the closest thing to TweetDeck for every network), bulk scheduling from a spreadsheet, team approvals, a shared inbox, social listening, and the deepest analytics of any tool here. It is overkill for a blogger with three accounts, and the right tool for a team managing dozens.
Key features:
- Streams for monitoring across accounts
- Bulk scheduling and approvals
- Social listening and advanced analytics
- Unlimited accounts on Professional
- 30-day free trial
Pricing: Standard $99 per month, Professional $199 per month, billed yearly.
7. Agorapulse
Agorapulse\’s strength is the shared inbox: every mention, reply, and DM across all your X accounts (and Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube) lands in one queue you can assign, label, and answer, so nothing is missed when several people manage several accounts. Scheduling, a content calendar, competitor reports, and ROI tracking are built in. Plans start at $79 per user per month for 10 profiles, and a limited free plan stays available after the 30-day trial.
Key features:
- Unified social inbox with assignments
- Content calendar and scheduling
- ROI and competitor reports
- Team collaboration tools
- 30-day free trial, limited free plan
Pricing: Standard $79 per user per month (billed yearly); limited free plan.
Managing Multiple Accounts Without a Tool
X itself lets you add up to five accounts and switch between them from the profile menu in the app or the sidebar on the web. It works for occasional posting, but there is no scheduling (except for X Premium subscribers), no side by side view, and notifications only arrive for the account you are currently in. Once you post regularly to more than two accounts, a scheduler saves hours a week.
Which Tool Should You Choose?
- Free, two or three accounts: Buffer’s free plan or Metricool.
- Live monitoring of mentions and lists: X Pro.
- You write threads and want to grow: Typefully or Hypefury.
- A team or agency: Hootsuite or Agorapulse.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is TweetDeck still free?
No. TweetDeck became X Pro in 2023 and requires an X Premium subscription, about $8 a month.
How many X accounts can I have?
X allows up to five accounts to be logged in at once in the app, and you may run more as long as each follows the rules on automation and spam. Posting identical content to several accounts can get them restricted, so vary your posts.
What is the cheapest way to schedule to multiple X accounts?
Buffer: free for 3 channels, or $5 per channel per month for unlimited scheduling. Metricool’s free plan is the alternative if you need analytics too.
Can these tools post to Threads and Bluesky as well?
Yes. Buffer, Hypefury, Metricool, and Typefully all support Threads, and Buffer and Hypefury support Bluesky and Mastodon.
