How we compare
Facts first, with sources
A comparison is only useful if you can check it. These are the rules every page follows.
-
Official pages only
Prices, plans and features come from official pricing, feature and help pages, not from review sites or rumors.
-
Dated and linked
Every page says when the facts were checked (November 2026) and links its sources, so you can confirm the details yourself.
-
Honest about trade-offs
Each page lists where the other tool is stronger, such as a free plan or a network Postocial does not support, and marks what we could not confirm.

FAQ
About these comparisons
How do you keep these comparisons fair?
Every competitor fact comes from official pricing, feature or help pages, with the date we checked and a link to the source. When we could not confirm a feature, the table says "Not confirmed" instead of "No". Each page also lists where the other tool is stronger.
Are the prices exact?
Other tools' prices are list prices in US dollars as published, as of November 2026, and Postocial's are in euros. Tools price per user, per channel, per brand or per plan, and some show yearly prices by default, so each page notes the billing basis. Taxes are extra where a tool says so.
Does Postocial have a free plan?
No. Every plan starts with a free trial instead. A card is required to start the 7-day free trial. When the trial ends, we charge your card for the plan you picked, unless you cancel before.
What do Postocial plans include?
Every plan includes the calendar and queue, bulk and RSS posts, the AI assistant, analytics, approvals, the API and the MCP server, with unlimited scheduled posts within each network's own rate limits. Premium and higher plans add the unified inbox with chatbots and automations, the messaging channels and link in bio. Social accounts grow with the plan: 5 on Starter, 10 on Premium, 100 on Agency and no limit on Unlimited. The larger plans also include more team members, storage and AI credits.
Can I suggest a tool or report an outdated fact?
Yes, please do. Email hello@postocial.com with the tool and a link to the page that changed, and we will review the comparison.
