| Pricing | $79/month (Professional) or $758/year · free tier: 14-day free trial on all four tiers (Enterprise is request-a-demo); no permanent free plan verified | $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 | Subscription |
| Best for | Small-to-mid agencies and multi-location or franchise brands that need publishing plus third-party review management in one seat, publish to long-tail networks, and genuinely fit within 2–8 users. | 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 | X (Twitter) is a primary channel, competitive listening is a core requirement, your team exceeds 8 contributors, you are a heavy AI user on a lower tier, or procurement requires documented security certification. | 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.
