Frequently Asked Questions

Is the best posting times tool free?

Yes, completely free. View optimal posting times for any platform with no signup required.

How are the best posting times calculated?

Our data is based on aggregated engagement patterns from millions of public posts across each platform. The heatmap highlights time slots where posts historically receive the highest engagement rates.

Which platforms are covered?

We provide posting time data for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, and Threads. Each platform has its own unique engagement patterns.

Do the times account for my timezone?

Yes. The heatmap adjusts to your local timezone so you can schedule posts without doing manual time conversions.

Are these times the same for every niche?

The displayed times represent general best practices. Specific niches may vary — for example, B2B content on LinkedIn peaks during weekday mornings, while entertainment content on TikTok may perform better in evenings. Use these as a strong starting point and refine based on your own analytics.

How often is the data updated?

Our engagement data is regularly refreshed to reflect current platform algorithm behavior and user activity patterns.
