| Pricing | Not published — headline plan prices on sendible.com/pricing are JavaScript-rendered and absent from the page source; a third-party Capterra listing shows $29/month flat rate (unconfirmed against the vendor) · free tier: 14-day free trial, no card required; trial capped at 100 posts/day/user | USD $6/channel/month (Essentials, monthly) or $5/channel/month billed yearly ($60/year for one channel) · free tier: Free $0/month: up to 3 channels, 10 scheduled posts per channel, 100 ideas, 3 tags, 1 user, AI Assistant, Community inbox, Start Page, 30-day Insights history, API (1 key, 3,000 requests/month), 2FA. Plus a 14-day no-card trial of the Team plan on paid plans. |
| Pricing model | Subscription | Subscription (per connected channel, volume-banded) |
| Best for | Agencies and multi-brand or multi-location teams with many stakeholders needing dashboard access, where per-seat pricing at Hootsuite or Sprout scale is the binding cost constraint — plus integrators wanting API-embedded white-label scheduling. | Solo creators, small businesses and small-to-mid agencies who want a fast, clean scheduling queue across a handful of channels, predictable cancellable per-channel cost, and API access for automated posting; nonprofits benefit from the published 50% discount. |
| Avoid if | You are an Instagram-first brand (especially needing Instagram DM management), a solo creator or small business with a handful of profiles where unlimited seats add no value, a franchise network needing in-platform Google Business Profile reporting, or a buyer who requires a documented refund path and billing in a currency other than USD/EUR/GBP. | You need social listening, brand monitoring, a unified DM inbox, deep cross-channel or competitive analytics, enterprise scaffolding (SSO, audit logs, SLA, named CSM), invoice/bank-transfer payment, or you are a two-person team unwilling to pay the Team-plan doubling. |

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.
