Alternative 1 of 5
Postocial
Postocial fits SocialPilot users who want analytics and client approvals without moving up two tiers. Every plan from €19.99 a month includes them, plus CSV bulk posts and a REST API, and Postocial's Premium and higher plans add the inbox, from €29.99. Agency covers 100 social accounts for €99 a month. SocialPilot keeps its white-label reports.
- Analytics and approvals on every plan, and the inbox on Postocial's Premium and higher plans; SocialPilot Essentials has none of them
- Client approvals and CSV bulk posts on every plan; SocialPilot starts both on its Premium plan ($100 a month)
- A REST API on every plan; SocialPilot offers API access on Enterprise, on request
-
Worth knowing
- SocialPilot's trial is longer: 14 days with no card, against 7 days with a card on Postocial.
- On Postocial, X needs your own X API key and pre-funded X developer credits, and there are no X analytics.
