| Pricing | From €16/$20 per month (annual billing, Starter, up to 5 brands); €20/$25 monthly billing · free tier: Free forever: 1 brand, all networks except LinkedIn and X, up to 20 scheduled posts/month, 5 competitor profiles, 30 days of analytics, AI assistant (5 credits/brand/month), Metricool MCP | $18.75/mo billed yearly (Starter) · free tier: 14-day free trial; no free plan sold on the pricing page (a legacy 'Free' plan is still listed in the Help Center plan-availability article) |
| Pricing model | Subscription (tiered by number of brands, plus paid add-ons) | Subscription |
| Best for | Agencies and freelancers managing 5-50 client brands who need multi-network scheduling plus client-ready PDF/PPT and Looker Studio reporting at a low cost per account, and solo creators who want a capable free tier. | Creators, small brands and 1-4 person teams — or small agencies with 2-6 clients — publishing at modest volume to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads, YouTube, LinkedIn or Snapchat who value a visual calendar, approvals and link-in-bio. |
| Avoid if | You are a multi-location or franchise business (one Google Business Profile per brand multiplies cost), an X/Twitter-centric team (per-account add-on, 30-day data cap), or an enterprise needing white-label and contractual SLAs, which sit behind an unpriced Custom plan. | You need X/Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon or Google Business Profile, publish at high volume on lower tiers, need more than four seats or run many single-network client accounts, or want a free tier and a stated money-back guarantee. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
