9 Best PromoRepublic Alternatives, Matched to Your Switching Trigger

Last updated: October 12, 2026

PromoRepublic alternatives verdict

PromoRepublic now sells quote-only franchise marketing. Its pricing page shows three tiers, Build, Grow, and Enterprise, and every tier ends in a Request a quote button. PromoRepublic states that cost depends on the number of locations or pages managed plus the modules chosen, and that each enterprise plan carries a one-time implementation fee. A dedicated Customer Success Manager comes with every tier. That structure fits a franchise head office. It fits a single local business or a small agency far less.

The verdict depends on which PromoRepublic modules you actually use. Stay on PromoRepublic if Listings, Reviews, or head-office-to-location distribution is the reason you pay, because none of the nine alternatives below replaces the Listings sync. Switch if social publishing is the part you use and the quote process, the location-based pricing, or the franchise machinery is what pushes you out.

PromoRepublic alternatives are social media management platforms that replace some combination of PromoRepublic’s publishing, review-management, and client-approval workflows. This page sorts nine of them into two routes. The franchise route covers listings, reviews, and local governance, and the nine options cover it thinly. The publishing route covers transparent pricing and network breadth, and it is where most of the nine sit. RecurPost sits in the publishing route, and the final section lists where it does not fit. The directory of social media scheduling alternatives runs the same checks across 40+ tools.

The gap that is moving you	Route	Closest fit	Starting price
Quote-only pricing, you want list prices	Publishing	RecurPost	$9/mo
Simple and cheap for one local business	Publishing	Buffer	Free (3 channels)
Client workspaces, approvals, and password-free onboarding	Publishing	RecurPost or Sendible	$79/mo (Agency) / $99/mo (Plus)
Review deadlines that act and roles per client	Publishing	RecurPost	$79/mo (Agency)
Review and reputation coverage	Franchise	Vista Social	$99/mo
Analytics and Google Business Profile without a contract	Publishing	Metricool	Free (1 brand)
Threads and Bluesky publishing	Publishing	RecurPost or Buffer	$9/mo
Listing sync, location-level governance, franchise rollouts	Franchise	Stay on PromoRepublic	Quote only
Social listening with a published price	Publishing	Sprout Social, Agorapulse, or Hootsuite	From $99/user/mo

Every pick in that table loses somewhere. The sections below show where.

The same nine, in order:

1. RecurPost (publishing route)
2. Buffer (publishing route)
3. Sendible (publishing route)
4. HeyOrca (publishing route)
5. Vista Social (franchise route, reviews only)
6. Metricool (publishing route)
7. Sprout Social (publishing route)
8. Agorapulse (publishing route)
9. Hootsuite (publishing route)

Franchise location-marketing suites

This route is for a buyer who uses more than PromoRepublic’s Social module. PromoRepublic bundles four things in one contract: social publishing, review management, listings, and analytics. Build covers social publishing, a reviews inbox for Google, Facebook, and Instagram, brand kit, digital asset management, and content approval workflows. Grow adds Listings management across Google and directories, plus centralized automation and benchmarking. Enterprise adds AI agents, executive dashboards, and a white-label mobile app. PromoRepublic’s own pricing page also sells Listings, review-generation workflows, and extra AI credits as add-ons on tiers that do not include them.

Listings: no scheduler on this page replaces them

PromoRepublic’s integrations page lists Google Business Profile, Apple Maps, TripAdvisor, and Foursquare. Listings sync pushes location data to those directories from one place, and that is a local-SEO product rather than a scheduling feature. None of the nine alternatives replaces it. PromoRepublic’s own footer positions the product against SOCi, Yext, and Birdeye. Those are dedicated local-marketing and listings platforms, and they are outside the nine options here, so this page has not compared them.

Reviews: Vista Social is the closest of the nine

Vista Social pulls reviews from Google, Yelp, Trustpilot, TripAdvisor, OpenTable, and the app stores into the same inbox as social messages. A reputation-focused buyer replaces PromoRepublic’s Reviews module and its Social module in one tool. Vista Social’s Professional plan costs $99 per month on monthly billing for 15 profiles and 2 users. X publishing adds $29 and listening adds $75.

RecurPost does not compete on reviews. It monitors Google Business Profile post rejections and surfaces the reason, but it runs no review inbox and no reputation module.

Local governance: what PromoRepublic’s location model does

PromoRepublic organizes work by location. A location holds the connected pages and the teammates. The total number of participants in one location, regardless of role, is 5, so a location owner adds 4 people, and the cap is customized only for white-label solutions. Roles inside a location are Member, Admin, and Client, plus the owner. For enterprise clients, PromoRepublic renames location roles and changes their permission levels, for example Franchise, Franchisee, or Store Manager.

Approvals run as a per-post toggle called Propose this post for approval. PromoRepublic states that the feature is not included in some subscription plans. A proposed post does not publish without approval, and when the client does not approve it on time, the Approve button changes to Publish Now and the client receives an email.

PromoRepublic also runs each teammate as a separate standalone account on the same paid plan. Depending on the plan and the type of solution, it is activated manually through a support request form or automatically by inviting the teammate to a location.

A franchise head office pushing one brand’s content down to dozens of franchisee locations under compliance rules is the buyer this model serves. RecurPost assigns roles per client workspace instead, which suits many separate client brands better than one brand fanned out to many locations.

Social publishing tools for agencies and single businesses

This route replaces PromoRepublic’s Social module with a scheduler that publishes its prices. The six groups below sort the tools by the trigger that started the search. Each group names the closest fit and the case where it loses.

You want list prices and same-day setup

Closest fit	RecurPost, or Buffer and Metricool for smaller rosters
RecurPost fits when	The roster passes a handful of profiles, since Agency covers 20 social accounts for $79
Buffer or Metricool fits when	Two or three accounts is the whole roster
Every option here	Publishes a price and connects accounts today, with no demo call

RecurPost publishes every price on the RecurPost pricing page: Starter at $9 per month for 2 social accounts, Personal at $25 for 5, and Agency at $79 for 20 with 3 users included. Extra social accounts cost $4 per month and extra teammates cost $20. Yearly billing gives two months free. The trial runs 14 days without a credit card, and accounts connect the same day.

RecurPost bills per social account rather than by location or module, so a growing roster changes the bill by $4 at a time instead of triggering a new negotiation. Metricool also posts its full price list, starting free for 1 brand.

You run one local business and want simple

Closest fit	Buffer
Buffer fits when	One location’s Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business Profile fit on the free plan
RecurPost fits when	Google Business Profile CTA buttons and failure reasons are worth $25 per month
RecurPost does not fit when	Starter’s 2 social accounts have to cover a three-profile local footprint

Buffer’s free plan takes 3 channels with 10 scheduled posts per channel, which fits one Facebook Page, one Instagram account, and one Google Business Profile. Buffer Essentials removes the post cap at $6 per channel per month on monthly billing, and Buffer also publishes to Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon. Approvals sit on Buffer’s Team plan at $12 per channel per month.

RecurPost Starter covers 2 social accounts at $9 per month, which misses a three-profile footprint by one. Personal reaches 5 accounts at $25 with Google Business Profile CTA buttons. RecurPost documents 850+ platform errors, so a rejected Google Business Profile post shows the reason, and a failed post retries from History.

You manage clients, not locations

Closest fit	RecurPost, Sendible, or HeyOrca with zero X clients
RecurPost fits when	The roster is many client brands rather than one brand across locations, and clients include X accounts
RecurPost does not fit when	A head office pushes one brand’s content down to dozens of franchisee locations under compliance rules
Sendible fits when	The roster stays under about 20 accounts

On the Agency plan, RecurPost onboards clients without passwords. The client receives an email or link invite, connects their own accounts, and never shares credentials. Each client workspace keeps that client’s accounts, content, schedules, and libraries separate, and reports export as white-label PDFs. Roles and the Kanban workflow board are covered in the next group.

PromoRepublic’s account model assumes one brand fanned out to many locations, with each location capped at 5 participants. An agency roster is eleven separate brands with a different sign-off contact each, so the location unit fits that shape awkwardly.

Sendible offers Client Connect, which handles password-free account connection, on all of its plans. Its Core plan costs $35 per month for 6 profiles with unlimited users, and approvals start at Plus, $99 per month for 18 profiles. White-label is a paid add-on there. HeyOrca prices client approval per workspace, from $59 up to $149 per workspace per month, and offers a free tier. HeyOrca does not publish to X, so an agency with X clients cannot use it. Vista Social covers approvals and client management inside a broader feature set at $99 per month for 15 profiles, with X as a $29 add-on.

An agency whose clients include X accounts fits RecurPost. An agency with no X clients and a review-heavy workflow should price HeyOrca per workspace first, and Sendible suits rosters under about 20 accounts.

You need approval deadlines that act and roles per client

Closest fit	RecurPost for stage deadlines that act and per-client roles, Vista Social for approvals plus listening
RecurPost fits when	Every post needs an internal review and a client sign-off, a missed deadline must not stall the calendar, and each person needs different access per client
RecurPost does not fit when	The review chain has to differ from one client to the next, or the client relationship rests on a branded portal on your own domain
PromoRepublic still fits when	A franchise program needs renamed location roles with reset permission levels

RecurPost runs approvals as a staged workflow on a Kanban board. The account owner configures the stages once for the whole account, because an agency does not change how it works from one client to the next. Each stage is a work, internal review, or client review stage, and the owner can rename, add, and remove stages. The default workflow chains four steps:

• A writer drafts the post in the Writing stage.
• A manager clears the post in the Manager Review stage within 48 hours, or RecurPost escalates it.
• The client approves the post in the Client Review stage within 72 hours, or RecurPost reschedules it by one day.
• A client who requests changes sends the post back to Writing with comments.

Each stage’s timeout is set at 4, 8, 24, 48, or 72 hours, or at 7 days. RecurPost warns the assigned role at 50 percent and 80 percent of the timeout and again once the stage runs overdue. When the timeout expires, the owner picks one of four actions: hold the post in its stage, approve it automatically, escalate it to the next approver, or reschedule it so a late client review never publishes on the wrong day. The client approves or requests changes from the shareable calendar and never logs in. Client approval is part of the Agency plan, and the approval workflow page covers it in detail.

RecurPost controls who acts at each stage through roles. It starts every account with four role templates, Contributor, Writer, Editor, and Publisher, and the owner can edit a template or build a custom role by ticking individual permissions. Roles are assigned per workspace, so one freelancer can be a Writer for one client, an Editor for a second, and hold no access to a third. Each workspace also names an Account Manager, who is a guaranteed second approver and can approve on the client’s behalf, and RecurPost logs every approve-on-behalf. The roles and permissions page lists the permission groups.

Approval capability	PromoRepublic	RecurPost	Vista Social
Approval structure	Per-post Propose this post for approval toggle, not included in some subscription plans	Account-wide stages: work, internal review, and client review	Multi-step approvals routed in a set order
When a review runs late	The Approve button becomes Publish Now and the client receives an email	The stage timeout holds, auto-approves, escalates, or reschedules the post	SLA reminders and escalation through the third-party ApproveThis integration
Client approves without logging in	The client role approves inside a limited interface in the platform	Yes, on the shareable calendar	Yes
Team roles	Owner, Admin, Member, and Client inside a location, capped at 5 participants	Contributor, Writer, Editor, Publisher, and custom roles, assigned per workspace	Contributors’ posts always need approval

Sources: PromoRepublic Help Center on proposing posts for approval and inviting teammates, Vista Social multi-step approvals, and ApproveThis for Vista Social. Checked October 12, 2026.

Roles and approvals are common in this category. Metricool ships preset roles including a Client role that approves or rejects posts, and its approval system starts on Advanced at $67. Sprout Social runs multi-step approval workflows. RecurPost’s narrower claim is the stage deadline that acts on its own, plus roles assigned per workspace and the Account Manager’s logged approve-on-behalf.

You want analytics and Google Business Profile without a contract

Closest fit	Metricool
Metricool fits when	Analytics comes first, each client needs one profile per network, and no sales contract is acceptable
RecurPost fits when	Clients expect white-label PDF reports across 10 platforms and nobody needs competitor benchmarks
Watch for	Metricool’s X add-on at $10 per account per month, and approvals only from Advanced at $67

Metricool’s free plan covers 1 brand with up to 20 posts per month. The $25 Starter covers 5 brands, and the $45 tier reaches 10 brands. Metricool includes Google Business Profile on every tier and puts ads management in the same dashboard. One Metricool brand holds one client’s whole profile set, so 5 brands means 5 clients at $25. X publishing is a paid add-on, now $10 per account per month, and one add-on covers one X account per brand.

RecurPost competes here through Custom Reports. Its drag-and-drop report builder assembles 200+ metrics across 10 platforms, includes audience demographics, Meta ads metrics, and Google Business reviews, and delivers a white-label PDF. RecurPost offers no competitor benchmarking. Metricool fits an analytics-first buyer, and an X-heavy roster should price the per-account X add-on first.

You need Threads and Bluesky

Closest fit	Buffer under roughly 10 channels, RecurPost past that
Buffer fits when	The roster runs roughly 10 channels or fewer
RecurPost fits when	Client workspaces or 20-account pricing enter the picture
RecurPost does not fit when	X posts run past 280 characters and the client holds no X Premium subscription

RecurPost publishes to Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, YouTube, TikTok, Threads, and Bluesky. X link posts cost $0.20 each through X, which RecurPost passes through from a prepaid wallet the account funds, and text-only X posts are free. Buffer publishes to Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon from its free plan upward, and Vista Social covers both networks too. PromoRepublic’s integrations page lists neither Threads nor Bluesky. The supported platforms page lists the native fields for each of RecurPost’s 10 networks.

You need social listening or enterprise monitoring

Closest fit	Sprout Social or Hootsuite, Agorapulse for per-seat cost
Sprout Social fits when	Listening depth is the point
Agorapulse fits when	Per-seat cost matters more than listening depth
RecurPost does not fit	RecurPost has no social listening and no sentiment analysis at any price

Sprout Social, Hootsuite, and Agorapulse cover this group for buyers who want PromoRepublic-scale monitoring with a published rate card. Sprout Social’s Essentials plan starts at $99 per seat per month ($79 on annual billing), and listening is sold as an add-on on higher tiers. Hootsuite lists Standard at $99, Professional at $199, and Advanced at $399 per user per month, with approval workflows on Advanced. Agorapulse lists $99 per user on monthly billing ($79 annual), with approval workflows starting on its Professional plan at $149.

None of the three syncs a listing or routes a franchisee’s post through a compliance rule, so they do not replace PromoRepublic’s franchise machinery either. An enterprise that left PromoRepublic over pricing opacity rather than product fit should shortlist them from the alternatives directory.

Quote-only pricing and roster limits

PromoRepublic prices by location or page plus modules, and that unit hides the real comparison. One PromoRepublic location typically carries a Facebook Page, an Instagram account, and a Google Business Profile, so one location equals roughly three social accounts. Almost every alternative prices per social account, per channel, per brand, or per user seat instead. Convert your roster to a flat social account count before comparing anything.

Then run four checks against that roster:

• Confirm the price is public and signup is self-serve, so a second quote process does not replace the first.
• Confirm the platforms the roster needs, especially Google Business Profile, X, Threads, and Bluesky.
• Find two plan tiers, not one: where client approvals start and where team roles start. Several per-channel rivals gate approvals behind their most expensive tier.
• Price the loaded cost, meaning the base plan plus every add-on the roster forces. Vista Social’s $99 plan becomes $128 once X publishing joins.

PromoRepublic publishes no prices, so this table sets list prices against a quote you have to request. Get the PromoRepublic quote in writing before running the numbers.

Tool	Base plan (monthly billing)	Social accounts included	What changes the real cost
PromoRepublic	Quote only	Priced by locations or pages	Modules chosen; implementation fee on enterprise plans; Customer Success Manager included; Listings and review generation sold as add-ons on some tiers
RecurPost Agency	$79	20	3 users included, extra teammates $20/mo; extra account $4/mo; X link posts billed from a prepaid wallet
Buffer	$6 per channel (Essentials)	Per channel	Approvals need Team at $12 per channel
Sendible	$35 (Core) or $99 (Plus)	6 or 18 profiles	Unlimited users; approvals from Plus; white-label is an add-on
Metricool	$25 (Starter)	5 brands (1 brand = 1 client’s profiles)	The $45 tier reaches 10 brands; X add-on $10 per account; approvals from Advanced at $67
Vista Social	$99 (Professional)	15 profiles, 2 users	X adds $29/mo; listening adds $75/mo

Sources: Buffer, Sendible, Metricool, and Vista Social pricing pages, checked October 12, 2026. PromoRepublic publishes no price. Annual billing lowers most list prices. Run the math in both directions, or use the pricing calculator, which prices 36 schedulers for your own roster.

A three-person agency running eleven local clients carries 35 social accounts: 33 across Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business Profile, plus two X accounts. RecurPost Agency costs $79 for 20 accounts plus 15 extra accounts at $4, which totals $139 per month with 3 users included. Vista Social’s 35 profiles exceed both the 15 on Professional and the 30 on Advanced. Buffer Team at 35 channels costs $420, and Buffer Essentials at $210 carries no approvals.

A single-location business pays less almost anywhere than through any quote. Buffer covers Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business Profile free at 10 posts per channel per month, Metricool covers 1 brand free, and RecurPost Personal covers 5 social accounts at $25.

An analytics-led team of 10 clients pays Metricool $45 per month, which undercuts RecurPost Agency at $79. Metricool costs less in that scenario unless the roster needs X on several accounts, where the $10 add-on stacks, or client approvals, which start at $67.

Contract terms and roster limits

PromoRepublic’s pricing FAQ describes annual and enterprise agreements, with multi-year partnerships of typically 2 to 5 years for preferred pricing. Contracts renew annually or per the agreement. Locations can be added at any time and are prorated, while reductions normally take effect at renewal. Short-term paid pilots are available. Payment is by credit card, with wire transfer for annual and enterprise agreements. Check the actual contract term first, because it decides when a switch can happen without paying for locations you no longer use.

The roster limit to plan around is 5 participants per location, counted across every role. An agency with more than 4 collaborators on one client location needs additional locations or a white-label arrangement.

A franchise network with 80 locations should probably not leave at all. That network runs roughly 240 social pages plus listings and reviews across every location. Rebuilding it means a scheduler, a listings service, and a review platform stitched together, and PromoRepublic’s single quote with a dedicated Customer Success Manager can genuinely beat that stack on both cost and effort.

Migration

A move off PromoRepublic runs in four steps. The migration checklist carries the full switching steps for RecurPost.

1. Check your PromoRepublic contract terms first, since annual and multi-year agreements decide when you can leave without paying for the remaining term.
2. Download media and copy captions from PromoRepublic’s content library before access ends.
3. Rebuild your review chain as RecurPost workflow stages and assign roles per workspace before inviting the team, so the first client post enters a working board rather than an empty calendar.
4. Import published posts into RecurPost, up to six months back, from each connected social account, and invite each client to reconnect through a RecurPost invite link on the Agency plan, so no client hands over a password during the move.

RecurPost’s alerts follow the rebuilt workflow. It emails the assigned member and notifies the mobile app when a post is assigned, when posts wait for review, when a post is approved or sent back with changes, when a stage nears or misses its timeout, and when a post fails to publish or an account needs reconnecting.

Final fit and non-fit

Where PromoRepublic fits, and where it does not

PromoRepublic fits a franchise head office or multi-location brand that depends on Listings sync, review management at network scale, HQ-to-location distribution with approvals and brand kits, and a Customer Success Manager. A franchise program that needs renamed location roles with reset permission levels also fits.

PromoRepublic fits a single local business or small agency poorly. It sells through a quote, prices by location and module, bundles franchise machinery into every tier, and its integrations page lists no Threads or Bluesky.

Where RecurPost fits, and where it does not

RecurPost fits the roster that PromoRepublic’s repositioning left behind. A three-person agency with eleven local clients lands on RecurPost because every price sits on a public page, each client connects accounts through a password-free invite on the Agency plan, and each client’s work sits in a separate workspace. Every Google Business Profile post carries CTA buttons with rejection monitoring, and each post moves from writer to account manager to client on the Kanban board. A client who misses the 72-hour review window gets the post rescheduled rather than published unapproved. RecurPost’s error handling documents 850+ platform errors, so a failed post shows a reason and retries from History. The Orbital Media case study shows what that looked like for an agency-style publisher that went from 6 to 8 failed posts a week to nearly zero, and the case studies show which other rosters made the trade.

RecurPost does not fit in four situations:

• Listings sync. RecurPost has no listings-sync product, so PromoRepublic’s directory sync to Google Business Profile, Apple Maps, and Foursquare has no RecurPost equivalent.
• Review management. RecurPost runs no review inbox and no reputation module, so a buyer who replies to Google, Yelp, or TripAdvisor reviews at scale needs Vista Social or PromoRepublic.
• Social listening. RecurPost has no social listening and no sentiment analysis at any price.
• Franchise-style granular permissions. RecurPost assigns roles per client workspace. It has no location-tier model that renames roles to Franchisee or Store Manager, resets permission levels per location, or rolls compliance rules out from a head office to franchisee locations. Its workflow stages are account-wide, so the review chain does not vary client by client.

It also has no branded client portal on a custom domain, no white-label mobile app, no dedicated Customer Success Manager, no competitor benchmarking, no Snapchat publishing, and no link-in-bio product. RecurPost charges $20 per month for each team member past the 3 included on Agency. X posts beyond 280 characters publish only when the client holds their own X Premium subscription.

Readers whose shortlist has narrowed to two tools can work through the RecurPost vs PromoRepublic comparison, which walks both products feature by feature. For the broader product decision, see the RecurPost publishing platform.

PromoRepublic Alternatives FAQs

Which PromoRepublic alternative fits which switching trigger?

Match the tool to the trigger that pushed you out rather than to a ranking. Buffer fits one local business, RecurPost fits an agency that wants published prices and a workspace per client, Sendible fits password-free onboarding under about 20 accounts, HeyOrca fits a no-X agency that sells client review, Metricool fits analytics and Google Business Profile, Vista Social fits reviews, and Sprout Social, Agorapulse, or Hootsuite fit listening. PromoRepublic itself still fits a franchise network that depends on Listings, because no scheduler on this page syncs a location to Apple Maps or Foursquare.

Does PromoRepublic publish its pricing?

No. PromoRepublic’s pricing page lists three tiers, Build, Grow, and Enterprise, without prices. Pricing depends on the number of locations or pages managed plus the modules chosen, and every tier ends in a Request a quote button. The page was checked on October 12, 2026.

Does PromoRepublic still offer a small business plan?

PromoRepublic’s pricing page shows no self-serve plan and no public price. Visitors choose between Enterprise, for multi-location and direct-selling brands, and Agency, for marketing agencies, and the page offers a demo booking rather than a signup. The Build tier is described as best for emerging franchise systems and smaller chains.

Which PromoRepublic alternatives publish their prices?

RecurPost lists Starter at $9, Personal at $25, and Agency at $79 per month. Buffer lists $6 per channel, Metricool starts free with a $25 Starter, Sendible lists $35 for Core and $99 for Plus, HeyOrca lists $59 to $149 per workspace, and Vista Social lists $99 for 15 profiles. All of these run self-serve signup without a sales call.

What replaces PromoRepublic’s Listings and Reviews modules?

Vista Social replaces the Reviews module by pulling Google, Yelp, Trustpilot, TripAdvisor, and OpenTable reviews into one inbox from $99 per month. No scheduler on this page replaces the Listings module, which syncs location data to Apple Maps, Foursquare, and other directories. A buyer who depends on Listings should stay on PromoRepublic or add a dedicated local-marketing service.

Is there a free PromoRepublic alternative?

Buffer’s free plan covers 3 channels with 10 scheduled posts per channel, enough for one location’s Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business Profile. Metricool’s free plan manages 1 brand with up to 20 posts per month, without X or LinkedIn publishing. HeyOrca offers a free single-workspace tier. RecurPost has no free plan and runs a 14-day trial with no credit card instead. Free tiers fit a single business rather than a client roster.

Do any PromoRepublic alternatives publish to Threads and Bluesky?

RecurPost publishes to both. Buffer covers Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon, and Vista Social covers both networks too. PromoRepublic’s integrations page lists neither Threads nor Bluesky.

What does a small agency pay after leaving PromoRepublic?

An agency with 35 client profiles pays RecurPost $139 per month on the Agency plan ($79 for 20 accounts plus 15 extra accounts at $4), with the approval workflow, roles, and 3 users included. Buffer Team at 35 channels costs $420. Vista Social’s 35 profiles exceed the 30 on its Advanced plan. Sendible Plus at $99 covers 18 profiles with approvals and Client Connect.

Does RecurPost have team roles and permissions like PromoRepublic’s?

RecurPost has team roles and permissions, and assigns them per client workspace. It starts you with Contributor, Writer, Editor, and Publisher templates and lets you build custom roles by ticking individual permissions, so one person holds different access for different clients. PromoRepublic assigns Owner, Admin, Member, and Client roles inside a location, caps each location at 5 participants, and renames roles for enterprise franchise programs, which RecurPost does not.

What happens when a client does not approve a post in time?

RecurPost applies the timeout rule the account owner chose for that stage. It holds the post, approves it automatically, escalates it, or reschedules it once the timeout runs out, and the timeout is set at 4, 8, 24, 48, or 72 hours, or 7 days. It warns the assigned role at 50 percent and 80 percent of the timeout and again when the stage is overdue. PromoRepublic changes the Approve button to Publish Now and emails the client when a proposed post is not approved on time.

Which PromoRepublic alternatives let clients approve posts without logging in?

RecurPost and Vista Social both do. RecurPost shares the calendar with the client, and the client approves each post or requests changes with one button. RecurPost includes that client review workflow with client workspaces on the Agency plan at $79 per month. PromoRepublic’s client role approves proposed content inside a limited interface in the platform.

Which plan includes RecurPost’s client approval workflow?

RecurPost includes the internal and external approval workflow with client workspaces on the Agency plan at $79 per month. The pricing page lists what each plan includes.
