Instalaz vs Later
Prices and features checked . New users join Instalaz through a waitlist.
The short answer
Later is the pick if you need a working Instagram scheduler today: it is live, auto-publishes feed posts, carousels, Stories and Reels, includes link in bio, and starts at $18.75 a month billed yearly after a 14-day free trial. Instalaz is an Instagram-first scheduler from Pracandy that is still on a waitlist; pick it if you post from a library of finished photos and Reels and want the schedule to draw from that library, with used content tracked so nothing repeats. Instalaz has a Free plan at ₹0 (1 Instagram account, 100 posts a month) and a Professional plan at ₹1,499 a month (up to 15 accounts, 3,000 posts a month), but paid billing is not open yet.
