Pick Later instead of knit.bio if:
It depends on what you post to. If Instagram is your main platform and you also want comment-to-DM automation, analytics that trace a post to sales, and brand-deal tools, knit.bio covers more of that job. If you schedule to several platforms from one calendar, Later covers platforms knit.bio does not.
No. The planner is for Instagram: posts, Reels, carousels and Stories. Your link-in-bio page works from any platform’s bio.
There is nothing to export. Re-add your upcoming posts in the planner, keep Later running until its queue is empty, then swap the link in your bio when you are ready so followers never hit a dead end. See the Instagram post scheduler.
