FAQ
Common questions
Is WhalePod only for agencies?
No. Agencies are a strong fit, but WhalePod also works for in-house teams with regional, product, franchise, or creator-network accounts.
Can I still schedule posts?
Yes. WhalePod supports scheduled publishing, but its larger difference is account isolation and execution tracking.
How many social accounts can I manage with WhalePod?
Plans range from 8 accounts on Starter ($15/mo) to unlimited accounts on Enterprise ($99/mo), across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Threads.
Does WhalePod support TikTok specifically?
Yes. TikTok is one of the 8 supported platforms, published through an isolated real browser profile rather than a limited third-party API integration.
