The short answer
None of the big international schedulers we checked (Buffer, Hootsuite, Later, Sprout Social, Metricool, SocialBee, Publer, Agorapulse, Zoho Social, Sendible, Vista Social, SocialPilot, Loomly, Planable, NapoleonCat) documents an Arabic web interface. Only Buffer's Android app lists Arabic. Two, SocialBee and Vista Social, document a right-to-left writing option. Sendible had an Arabic interface and retired it in February 2025.
If you post in Arabic, the tool's interface language matters less than three other things: whether the composer and preview handle right-to-left text and mixed Arabic and English, whether its AI writes natural Arabic, and whether it can answer Arabic comments in Arabic. Disclosure: PersonaXpand, covered below, is our product and was built in Dubai for exactly this.
What “Arabic support” should mean
- Interface language. Menus, buttons and help in Arabic. Useful for your team, but the least important of the four if you read English.
- Right-to-left writing and preview. The text box should run right to left, punctuation should land on the correct side, and a line that mixes Arabic with an English brand name or a link shouldn't scramble. Check the preview, not just the box.
- AI that writes Arabic like a person. Many caption generators translate English ideas word for word. Ask for a post in Arabic and read it aloud: if it sounds like a translated manual, your audience will hear that too.
- Replies in the language of the comment. Gulf audiences switch between Arabic, English and Arabizi in one thread. A reply tool should answer each comment in the language it was written in.

“Not documented” means we found nothing on the vendor's own site, not that it fails. PersonaXpand is our product, so weigh that row accordingly.
1. PersonaXpand: Arabic posts and Arabic replies
PersonaXpand was built in Dubai for people who post in Arabic, English or both. The interface is translated into Arabic. When it writes a version of your post for each network, an Arabic post stays in Arabic, and when it answers comments and DMs, it replies in the language each message was written in, in your own voice. Comments are answered on Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube and Threads, and DMs on Instagram and Facebook. It posts to eight networks and has a free plan after a 14-day trial.
Honest limits: the Arabic interface is translated, but some logged-in screens still lay out left to right. There's no WhatsApp or Snapchat, and no dialect setting. More on the Arabic content page, and there are free Arabic hashtag lists too.
2. SocialBee and Vista Social: the two with documented right-to-left writing
SocialBee's interface is in English only, but its help center tells Arabic and Hebrew users to right-click the editor and choose Writing Direction, then Right to Left. That's the browser's own feature rather than something SocialBee built, but it works. Vista Social has a help article on changing text direction for right-to-left languages, with the switch in the post editor's toolbar.
Neither has a free plan; both offer a 14-day trial. Use it to test a real Arabic post with an English brand name and a link, and check the preview on each network.
3. Buffer: free, with Arabic on Android
Buffer's web app and iPhone app are English only, but its Android app (version 9.4.0 and later) lists Arabic among 14 languages. It has a free plan for three channels. Its help pages don't mention right-to-left writing, so test the composer before you rely on it.
4. Sprout Social and Hootsuite: big teams, no Arabic interface
Sprout Social's interface comes in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese; its AI Assist can translate incoming messages, and Arabic is on that list. Hootsuite's dashboard languages are English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and, since December 2025, Japanese. Both are built for teams and priced per seat, with trials rather than free plans.
5. Metricool, Publer and Zoho Social: free plans, English interfaces
All three have a free plan, which makes them easy to test with Arabic posts. None documents an Arabic interface: Metricool lists English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German; Publer lists English, French, German, Italian, Albanian and Spanish, and its users have asked for Arabic on its public feedback board; Zoho Social documents five European languages added in 2016. Other Zoho apps do come in Arabic.
6. A regional option: Retm (Saudi Arabia)
Retm (رتم) is a Saudi platform whose site runs in Arabic and English. It says its servers are inside Saudi Arabia, which matters for some government and regulated clients, and it publishes to ten channels including Tawakkalna and Telegram. Its site doesn't say which languages the app itself uses, and it has no free plan. Worth a look if Saudi data residency is a requirement.
How to test any tool for Arabic in 10 minutes
- 1. Write a mixed post: an Arabic sentence with an English brand name, a number, a hashtag and a link. Check the order is right in the box and in every network's preview.
- 2. Ask the AI for an Arabic caption from a short Arabic brief. Read it aloud. Then ask for the same in Gulf-friendly wording and see if it changes.
- 3. Post it to a test account and look at it on a phone, where most of your audience will see it.
- 4. Leave an Arabic comment on the test post and see what the reply tool does with it: Arabic, English, or nothing.
- 5. Switch the interface language if there's an Arabic option, and check the screens your team will use daily.
