How we grade them
| 2.0GPAOcoyaFair | 2.6GPAPublerGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter is one user, so a team of two or three buys Team: $790 a year, about $66 a month, for 5 users and 20 profiles. That's above this category's $58 dearer quarter but under the $99 dearest tenth. On your own, Starter is $290 a year. | CBusiness, the plan with analytics and approvals, is $8 an account a month billed yearly, so five accounts are $40, and each extra team member adds to that. That's above this category's $29 middle and under the $58 dearer quarter. Professional is $20 for five. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan, and the 7-day trial needs a card and turns into a paid plan on day 7 unless you cancel. | CFree for good with 3 accounts and 10 queued posts each, but no X, 25 drafts and only 24 hours of published-post history, and analytics are a Business thing. Fine for a try, tight for a business. |
| Features | CAI captions, images and campaigns, a design studio, visual workflows, an inbox, approvals and an API across 20-plus destinations. The gap its listing names: no post analytics or performance reports in its feature pages or help centre. | CCalendar, bulk uploads of up to 500 posts, RSS, recycling, AI, competitor tracking and approvals on Business. The gaps it shows: no social inbox in its listing, a daily posting cap only Enterprise lifts, and an API only for eligible customers. |
| Ease of use | CThere's no App Store rating on record for us to go by, and you'll set up a brand profile, channels and posting slots first. So it gets the ordinary grade. | AIts iPhone and iPad app averages 4.75 from about 26,600 ratings, and connecting accounts and scheduling a first post is quick. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web app you can install on phones and computers from the browser, with Notion, Airtable, WordPress, WooCommerce, Slack, Discord, an API and an MCP server. There are no app-store apps. | BWeb, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, with Canva, Google Drive, Unsplash, WordPress and Linkie. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | AI-written posts and automated workflows | cheap scheduling to lots of networks |

Publer
