Circle does let you schedule posts. But here's what you get:
Circle's scheduling is like having a to-do list instead of a project management system. It technically works, but it doesn't help you actually manage content strategically.
Circle shows: A chronological list of scheduled posts.
What you actually need: Visual calendar showing what's publishing when, gaps in your schedule, and content distribution across spaces.
Result: You can't see patterns or plan strategically. You're just scheduling posts one-by-one.
Circle shows: All scheduled posts mixed together.
What you need: Filter and view scheduled content by specific spaces, so you can ensure each space gets consistent attention.
Result: You accidentally over-post in Space A while Space B goes quiet for days.
Circle has: Nothing.
What you need: Holiday calendar with post templates, ability to plan seasonal campaigns months in advance.
Result: You remember Thanksgiving content the day before and scramble to create something.
Circle has: Schedule each post individually.
What you need: "Post this Monday Morning Motivation every Monday at 9am" - set it once, forget it.
Result: You manually schedule the same type of post 52 times per year.
Circle has: Individual posts.
What you need: "Schedule this 5-post launch sequence starting Monday" - campaigns as units, not individual posts.
Result: You schedule 5 posts separately, hope you got the dates right, and can't see the campaign flow.
Circle has: Posts disappear into the void after publishing.
What you need: "That post got great engagement 6 months ago - schedule it again" - one-click repurposing.
Result: Your best content dies after one use. You keep creating from scratch.
Circle has: You stare at a blank post composer every day.
What you need: AI that suggests post ideas based on your community's activity, trending topics, and member questions.
Result: Content creation takes 2-3 hours per week because you're constantly thinking "what should I post today?"

Yes, Circle has basic post scheduling - you can set a date/time for posts to publish. However, it's just a list view with no content calendar, recurring posts, campaign management, or organizational tools. For strategic content management (like Buffer), you need a tool like StickyHive.
Circle's scheduling is functional but basic - it's a chronological list, not a content management system. You can't see a calendar view, filter by space, set up recurring posts, plan campaigns, or repurpose past content. It works for occasional posts but breaks down when you're managing consistent, strategic content.
Yes! With StickyHive, you can schedule to multiple spaces within your Circle community simultaneously. You can post the same content everywhere or customize for each space.
No problem. You can edit or delete any scheduled post before it publishes. Just open it in StickyHive, make your changes, and the updated version will publish at the scheduled time.
Yes! If you manage multiple Circle communities, StickyHive lets you schedule one post across all of them, or customize the content for each community from one interface.
Upload images directly to StickyHive when creating your post. They're stored securely and automatically uploaded to Circle when your post publishes. No manual handling required.
