HeyOrca stopped publishing to X. Here is how agencies keep posting.
HeyOrca ended direct publishing to X on April 6, 2026, and new HeyOrca accounts created after March 2, 2026 cannot connect X profiles at all. X posts can still sit on the HeyOrca calendar and go through approvals, but someone has to publish each one by hand. HeyOrca's help center points to a steep price increase for the API access it needed.

Keep HeyOrca for approvals if your clients rely on them
HeyOrca's client approval flow still works on X posts. If approvals are the reason you use it, keep it for that and use a second tool only for publishing to X. Source: HeyOrca help center, X (formerly Twitter) Integration Discontinuation.What HeyOrca still does for X, and what it does not
| HeyOrca | OpenTweet | |
|---|---|---|
| Plan X posts on the calendar | Yes, through a placeholder account | Yes |
| Client approval on X posts | Yes | No approval portal |
| Publish to X automatically | No, since April 6, 2026 | Yes |

HeyOrca rows come from its help article, last updated February 26, 2026. HeyOrca still publishes to the other networks it supports.
Where OpenTweet fits
OpenTweet publishes to X automatically, and the same draft can go to LinkedIn and Bluesky. Agency is $49 a month for up to 10 X accounts, 10 LinkedIn profiles and 10 Bluesky accounts, 300 posts a day and 20 link posts a day, with no per-seat fee. Multi-post threads stay threads on X and Bluesky, and you never need an X developer account.
What OpenTweet does not do
- No client approval portal.
- No Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or Pinterest.
- LinkedIn company pages are not supported, only personal profiles.
- Link posts are capped at 20 a day on Agency and are not included on Pro.
Two ways to run it
Keep HeyOrca for planning and approvals, publish X through OpenTweet
Clients keep approving in HeyOrca. Once a post is approved, schedule it in OpenTweet for the right client X account instead of posting it by hand.
Move X fully to OpenTweet
If your clients do not need an approval step, connect each client X account in OpenTweet and plan, schedule and publish there.
For agencies with automation
Schedule client posts through the OpenTweet REST API (POST /api/v1/posts) or the hosted MCP server at https://mcp.opentweet.io/mcp with 43 tools. Sign in with OAuth or send Authorization: Bearer ot_your_key. No X developer account.
Plans for agencies
| Plan | Price | Accounts per network | Link posts a day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $11.99/mo | 1 each on X, LinkedIn and Bluesky | None (link credits sold separately) |
| Advanced | $29/mo | Up to 3 each | 10 |
| Agency | $49/mo | Up to 10 each | 20 |

Frequently asked questions
Does HeyOrca still post to X?
No. Direct publishing to X ended on April 6, 2026. Existing X profiles became placeholder accounts, so you can still plan X posts and get them approved, but you publish them yourself.
Why did HeyOrca drop X?
HeyOrca says the API access it needed for direct publishing and reporting saw a steep price increase that was unsustainable for it and not fair to pass on to customers.
Does HeyOrca still show X analytics?
No. HeyOrca says analytics are no longer available for X accounts, and it advised customers to export their X reports before April 6, 2026.
Does OpenTweet have client approvals?
No. OpenTweet has no client approval portal. Agencies that need one keep it in their current tool and use OpenTweet to publish.
How many client accounts does OpenTweet Agency cover?
Up to 10 X accounts, 10 LinkedIn profiles and 10 Bluesky accounts for $49 a month, with 300 posts a day and no per-seat fee.
Can OpenTweet post to LinkedIn company pages?
Not today. OpenTweet posts to personal LinkedIn profiles only.
Can client posts include links?
Agency includes 20 link posts a day and Advanced includes 10. Pro does not include link posts: links are removed unless you buy link credits.
