The verdict

Later wins, 5.5 to 5.3

Ocoya still publishes to X, Bluesky and Mastodon; Later lists none of the three. Ocoya's AI also generates images, runs an agent inside workflows and turns articles into posts, none of which Later's AI does. Later pulls ahead on the practical side: a mobile app, a link-in-bio page, first-comment scheduling and single sign-on, none of which Ocoya has. It's also cheaper: $25 a month for five profiles against Ocoya's $29.

Pick Later if you want a mobile app, link-in-bio page or single sign-on.

Pick Ocoya if you need X, Bluesky or Mastodon support and AI that drafts posts.
