When to post
Best time to post on TikTok
TikTok’s For You feed can surface a video days later, so timing matters less than on X, but a strong first hour still helps. Evenings and weekends are typically the busiest; post when you can watch comments come in.
TallyReel starts every account from the same baseline, weekday peaks at 8 AM, 12 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, weekend peaks at 10 AM, 11 AM, 7 PM, 8 PM, in your audience’s local time, and after about 20 published posts shifts it toward the hours that actually work for you.

TikTok posts that land
- The caption is secondary to the video. Put the hook on screen too.
- Put the hook on screen in the first second; the caption is secondary.
- Keep captions short and add a few specific hashtags people actually search.
- TikTok posts need a video, photos aren’t supported through this integration.
TikTok scheduling FAQ
Why can my TikTok posts only be private right now?
TikTok requires every app that publishes on users’ behalf to pass an audit. Until TallyReel’s audit is approved, TikTok forces API uploads to “Only me”. You can change the visibility in the TikTok app after it posts.
What’s the character limit on TikTok?
2,200 characters. TallyReel counts the way TikTok does, so the number you see is the number TikTok will check.
Is TikTok scheduling free?
Yes, every feature and every network is free while TallyReel is in beta, with no card required. Beta users will get plenty of notice before paid plans start.
