Fastlane
An AI content generator that turns trending short-form formats into ready-to-approve posts and schedules them.
What it actually does
Fastlane is a content generator rather than a plain scheduler. You connect your website or product and it produces short-form video in trending formats (AI UGC avatar clips, slideshows, hook-and-demo videos) aimed at TikTok, Reels and Shorts, using a library of AI avatars and human UGC clips.
It then schedules the approved posts directly and exposes a REST API for automation, so the workflow spans generation through publishing. A free plan lets you test generation and the Blitz format picker before paying.
Pricing is credit-based on the entry Starter tier, so generation volume is capped there. The higher Growth ($49) and Pro ($149) tiers lift the caps, and warmed TikTok/Instagram accounts are pricey per-account add-ons.

- Free plan lets you test generation and the Blitz format picker before paying anything
- Growth at $49/mo covers unlimited social accounts, 3 workspaces and large AI/human UGC libraries
- Turns trending TikTok, Reels and Shorts formats into ready-to-approve posts, reducing filming and editing
- The entry Starter tier is credit-capped for generation; higher tiers (Growth $49, Pro $149) lift the caps
- Add-ons get expensive: warmed TikTok/Instagram accounts cost $80/mo per account plus per-upload fees
- It does not clip your existing long-form videos into shorts the way OpusClip does
Pay less for it
4 ways found$0 with 10 AI Studio credits to test generation and Blitz before paying
Avoid the $80/mo-per-account warmed TikTok/Instagram add-ons and use your own accounts
Stay on Starter or Growth if their caps cover your volume rather than jumping to Pro at $149/mo
Post Bridge — If you can make your own clips and only need to blast them out, Post Bridge schedules to 15 accounts for $29/mo with no credit caps

Is it the right tool for you
- Your bottleneck is making short-form video at all, not scheduling it
- You want trending TikTok/Reels/Shorts formats generated for you from your product
- You want to test AI generation free before committing
- You already have long-form video to repurpose into clips → use OpusClip
- You only need to schedule content you already make → use Post Bridge or Buffer
