The backstory
Pallyy is a clean, low-cost social media scheduler with a well-liked visual planner for Instagram and other platforms. It charges partly for an AI caption assistant, and that piece now competes with a free chatbot that writes captions just as well. Pallyy is wounded on the AI angle, but its real draws, the polished planner, the low price and the smooth UX, still give people concrete reasons to stay, so the scheduling core holds.
