| Pricing | USD $30/month (Essentials, or $25.50/month billed annually) · free tier: 14-day free trial, no credit card required; separate free 100-credit trial for the reviews product | 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 |
| Pricing model | Subscription with metered add-ons | Subscription (tiered by number of brands, plus paid add-ons) |
| Best for | Small-to-mid agencies and multi-client freelancers managing roughly 15–25 profiles who need bulk scheduling, client approval flows and white-label client reports at a predictable double-digit monthly cost, plus multi-location local businesses wanting publishing and review management from one vendor. | 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. |
| Avoid if | You need API access or SSO on a published price, you white-label and depend on Slack approvals, you want collaboration on the cheapest tier, you must be invoiced in a non-USD currency, or you need a genuine social listening and social-CRM suite. | 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. |

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.
