Social Media Tool Pricing Calculator
Enter your roster and see what 30 schedulers would charge per month, cheapest first. Tool subscriptions, not agency fees.
Tools that cover your features
Ordered by how many of your selected features each plan covers, cheapest first on ties. Feature availability comes from RecurPost’s hands-on reviews of of the tools, June to September 2026; a feature a reviewer did not find is recorded as absent. The other were added later from earlier audit notes and each vendor’s pricing page, so a feature we could not confirm is marked “not yet confirmed” instead of absent. Updates as you change the inputs.
Cost is one input. For the fit decision, see the RecurPost social media scheduler, RecurPost pricing, RecurPost case studies and the RecurPost comparisons hub. More free tools from RecurPost.

Not covered: Agorapulse, Brandwatch, Buffer, Hootsuite, Metricool, NapoleonCat, OneUp, OnlyPult, Sked Social, SocialPilot, Sprout Social, Statusbrew, Vista Social (no content library & recycling at any tier); ContentStudio (no team roles & permissions at any tier); dlvr.it (no mobile app at any tier; no team roles & permissions at any tier; no approval workflow at any tier; no social inbox at any tier); Hopper HQ (no content library & recycling at any tier; no social inbox at any tier); Later, Loomly, Postfity (Simplified) (no X (Twitter) publishing); MeetEdgar (no team roles & permissions at any tier; no approval workflow at any tier); Pallyy, Planoly (no content library & recycling at any tier; no team roles & permissions at any tier); Postcron (no YouTube publishing); Post Planner, SmarterQueue (no approval workflow at any tier; no social inbox at any tier); Publer (no social inbox at any tier).
How each vendor charges
Two tools with the same headline price can differ three-fold for the same roster because the unit they bill on differs.
- Per seat
- Hootsuite, Sprout Social and Agorapulse charge the plan price for every user, so a three-person team pays three times the sticker. Agorapulse also caps profiles at 10 per seat.
- Per channel
- Buffer prices each connected channel; approvals and unlimited users only arrive on Team, which doubles the per-channel rate.
- Per profile
- Publer and Social Champ’s pay-per-profile tiers bill each account. RecurPost bundles profiles into tiers and sells extras at a flat $4 a month, with extra seats at $20.
- Per brand or social set
- Metricool counts one profile per network as a brand and charges X accounts separately. Later sells social sets of up to eight profiles.
- Workspace bundles
- Sendible, SocialBee, ContentStudio and SocialPilot sell extra profiles or clients in bundles, so a roster one profile over the line pays for a whole bundle.
- Flat tiers, no add-ons
- Vista Social and Loomly have no per-unit add-ons; outgrowing a tier means the next tier, which on Loomly is a jump from $65 to $332.
How this works, and the honest part
For each tool we take the cheapest published plan and add-ons that cover your profiles, seats, clients, platforms and must-haves, per month. Paid add-ons are priced in. Unpublished prices are flagged, not guessed. Quote-only tiers are shown as such.
RecurPost built this page and is in the ranking on the same math. Some setups favor other tools and the ranking says so. Deep social listening and enterprise compliance are not RecurPost territory. Roles and approvals are common in this category, so a tool is only excluded for lacking one when its own pricing or help page says so; unconfirmed tiers stay ranked with a note. “Approval deadlines that act” means a review stage that holds, auto-approves, escalates or reschedules a post by itself when its timeout runs out; no other tool here publishes that, and none has been verified to lack it.
