What makes Zolyp different
Zolyp isn't a scheduler or a one-post generator. It's a team of 5 named specialists (Zee, Olivia, Lina, Yoongi, Pareesa) that works from a persistent Brand Brain: your voice, colors, banned topics, and CTAs, reused on every post. It creates the content first, then schedules and publishes it, and hands off pillar by pillar as it earns your trust.
A free plan without scheduling; Content Planner comes with Pro (one person) and Business (priced per person), billed monthly or yearly, with a free trial of either.
