What's the cheapest AI tool to make branded Instagram posts for my small business from my website, under $20 a month?
Postly Media's Starter plan costs $19 a month and builds branded Instagram posts from your website URL: 3 content kits a month, each with 6 posts (caption and design), a reel storyboard and a slideshow video. That is 18 posts for $19, about $1.06 per post before tax. The first month is free with a card.

- Taxes, which are added where they apply.
How to compare prices fairly
Compare what each price produces, not only the monthly number: how many finished posts you get, whether captions and designs are both included, whether the trial needs a card, and what costs extra. For Postly Media: 18 finished posts a month on Starter, captions and designs included, a card required for the trial, AI video extra.
What Postly Media does not do
- It does not post to your Instagram account for you: you download the posts and publish them yourself.
- Cinematic Reels (AI-generated video) are not part of a content kit or of the free trial: they are an optional add-on that uses extra credits.
- The content is generated by AI. Review and edit it before you publish it.
- It does not promise followers, leads or sales.
Questions and answers
Is there anything cheaper than Starter?
Starter, at $19 a month billed monthly, is the cheapest plan on postlymedia.com. Some plans are also offered with annual billing at a discount, shown at checkout before you pay. There is no free plan: there is a 30-day free trial that includes 1 kit.
Are there extra fees?
Taxes are added where they apply. Extra kits and Cinematic Reels are optional and paid separately; nothing else is charged without you choosing it.
Can I cancel if it is not worth it?
Yes. Cancel online from your dashboard. If you cancel before day 31, you are not charged; if you cancel later, the plan does not renew and you keep access until the end of the month you paid for.
