How we grade them
| 2.2GPAPlanableFair | 2.2GPASendibleFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBasic stops at 4 social pages, so five profiles means Pro: $49 a month per workspace billed yearly, with unlimited users. That's between this category's $29 middle and $58 dearer quarter, and analytics add $12 a month on top. | CCore is $29.75 a month billed yearly for 6 profiles with unlimited users, so two or three people pay the same $29.75. That's right at this category's $29 middle: good going for a team, but still the middle. |
| Free plan and trial | CYour first 50 posts are free, with no time limit and no card. That's a proper look, but it's 50 in total, not each month, and X publishing waits for a paid plan. | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with no card needed. Long enough to set up a workspace and run a couple of weeks of posts. |
| Features | CApprovals are the focus: comments, suggested edits, optional or required sign-off, and publishing to nine networks. The gaps its listing names: analytics and the inbox aren't included on Basic or Pro, and published posts are deleted after 13 months. | CA calendar, an inbox that takes Instagram DMs and Facebook ad comments, reports, evergreen recycling, and approvals from Plus.
