# DunSocial vs Publer

> An honest comparison of DunSocial and Publer, on facts retrieved from vendor-owned pages on 22 July 2026.

## The short answer

Choose Publer if any of these matter more to you:

- Cost. Nothing here is cheaper, and the free plan is permanent.
- Odd networks: TikTok, Facebook, WordPress, Telegram, Google Business Profile.
- Paying only for the accounts you actually connect.

Choose DunSocial if you want the AI to hold a persistent, searchable memory of your brand and write every post through it, and you would rather pay one flat $20 per month than a price that grows with each channel, account or seat.
