Comparison

AutoStackNotes vs. WriteStack

WriteStack popularized AI-assisted Substack Notes scheduling, and it's a genuinely capable product. We built AutoStackNotes around a different core idea — a recurring strategy that keeps your scheduling queue full on its own — at a lower price, with a real free plan. Here's an honest, feature-by-feature look at where each product stands today.

Which one is actually right for you?

We'd rather you pick the right tool than the one we sell. Here's where each product genuinely wins.

Pick AutoStackNotes if…

  • You want your Notes queue to keep refilling itself from a strategy you set once, instead of writing or approving each Note individually.
  • You want real per-Note analytics — likes, replies, restacks, and history — not just a scheduler.
  • You want an Evergreen Note that quietly promotes your Substack on a recurring cadence without new copy every time.
  • You want the cheapest way in, with a genuine free plan and no card required.

Pick WriteStack if…

  • You want AI to draft new Note copy for you on demand.
  • You want to cross-post the same content to other platforms in one step.
  • You want a built-in engagement/Follows feed for discovering and interacting with other creators.
