Pricing approach
- Donivo
- Bundled account limits by plan; no separate charge for every connected channel.
- Zernio
- Usage-based pricing by connected account after an initial free account allowance, with platform-specific costs where applicable.
A Zernio alternative for people publishing posts, not building the publisher
Zernio is now an API-first social infrastructure product with usage-based account pricing, messaging, advertising, and developer capabilities. Donivo is the creator-facing application, with a permanent free plan and a limited founding rate locked while an eligible subscription remains active.

The case for switching
Why choose Donivo over Zernio
Lock an eligible founding rate
A limited number of Starter and Pro subscriptions keep their founding rate for as long as that subscription remains active.
See when publishing needs attention
Donivo retries failed publishing attempts automatically and alerts you if a post still cannot be delivered.
Use the publisher instead of integrating one
Donivo supplies the finished browser interface, OAuth connection flow, composer, scheduling controls, retries, and alerts.
The focused publishing choice
Donivo is the sharper fit when
Creators, small businesses, and social managers who need a finished application they can use immediately.
Test the full publishing loop for free
Connect up to 3 supported social accounts and publish up to 30 posts each month without entering a credit card. X publishing requires a paid plan.
Keep account costs predictable
Starter and Pro bundle account and posting allowances instead of adding a separate charge for every connected channel.
Keep brands and clients separated
Use separate workspaces on eligible plans so each brand has its own accounts, content, and publishing calendar.
Tailor one idea for eight networks
Start with shared content, then adjust each network version before publishing now or adding it to the schedule.
Start with 3 accounts and 30 posts per month. Upgrade only when the free plan no longer fits your publishing volume.
