Posting to X costs $59 a month on Post Planner
Post Planner states that "X/Twitter and Pinterest require Growth or higher".

In the other direction, Post Planner Starter allows a queue of 150 scheduled posts and 12 posts a day per profile, more volume than the 30 posts a month on TimeToPost Starter.
