Blotato review: and an alternative built for app slideshows.
This Blotato review is for app makers. Blotato is a strong posting and automation layer that you feed content into. ClonBot writes the TikTok slideshow itself, from a format that already went viral, with your app inside the story, and posts it.
Free, no sign-up, no card. Three slideshow ideas for your app in about 20 seconds.
The Blotato review in one paragraph.
Blotato is good at moving content. It calls itself "social media automation inside ChatGPT and Claude": one API and MCP server that posts and schedules to nine platforms (X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky and Pinterest), turns a YouTube link, article, PDF or audio file into posts, makes carousels, slideshows and avatar videos from templates, answers comments and DMs, and pulls analytics. Plans start at $29 a month.
Where it stops: the idea, the images and how your product shows up are still yours to bring. If you sell an app on TikTok and want slideshows that look like a real person's posts, with your real screens in them, that is the part ClonBot does.

Blotato prices from blotato.com/pricing as of October 2026. ClonBot prices on our pricing page.
Who should pick which, and when to use both.
Pick Blotato if you already make content (a podcast, a channel, a newsletter) and want it on nine networks without retyping it, or you build your own flows in n8n or Make. At $29 it's a fair price for that job.
Pick ClonBot if you sell an app and TikTok is the channel. You get stories that start from proven slideshows, one recognisable creator, your real screens and approval before anything goes out. More on that in TikTok slideshows for apps.
Use both if you post beyond TikTok. Run the app's TikTok account on ClonBot and keep Blotato for founder posts on LinkedIn and X.
Questions people ask about Blotato.
Is Blotato legit?
Yes. It's a real, paid product with a public API, official n8n and Make nodes, and a refund within 14 days by email, as of October 2026. Its usage numbers and testimonials are self-reported, so judge it on the trial.
How much is Blotato per month?
As of October 2026: Starter $29, Creator $97 and Agency $499 a month. Yearly billing charges ten months for twelve, about 17% off.
Is Blotato free to use?
No. There is a 7-day free trial on every plan with 60 AI credits, but it needs a card. Its small free tools need no sign-up.
Is the Blotato API free?
No. The API and MCP server come with every paid plan and there is no separate API tier, but they aren't part of the trial. Creating an API key ends the trial and starts the subscription.
How do I cancel my Blotato subscription?
Blotato says you can downgrade or cancel at any time, with no call needed. Cancel during the trial and you aren't charged.
What can I use instead of Blotato?
For posting everywhere, other schedulers do a similar job. For TikTok slideshows that promote an app, ClonBot writes and posts them for you. Compare more in the best TikTok slideshow makers or our ReelFarm alternative page.
Does ClonBot have an API like Blotato?
ClonBot has an MCP server on every plan, so Claude can run it for you. It doesn't post to networks other than TikTok.
