Three ways a cheap plan gets expensive.
Almost every comparison here comes down to one of these meters.
Per person
Hootsuite, Sprout Social, Agorapulse
The freelancer you hired for a month and the client who only wants to look both cost you a seat.
Per account or social set
Later, Planoly, Pallyy
One profile per network, so a second Instagram means a second charge.
Per workspace
Planable
The one that hurts agencies, because a workspace is exactly how you separate one client from the next.
Zilfu uses none of them. One flat plan holds several accounts per network, unlimited teammates, workspaces and approvals, from $19/month. Between tiers only the account cap changes.
How we write these.
Every price and limit was checked against the rival's own pricing page, and each page carries the date it was last reviewed. Where a competitor is genuinely better we say so: Metricool's analytics are deeper than ours, for one. Vendor pricing moves often, so check the current rate before you switch, and if you spot something stale, tell us.
