- Not for you if you need the inbox or approvals on Starter
- Watch out: extra accounts cost $6 each a month, and yearly plan changes go through support

- Works for agencies that need client approvals and white-label reports, from Premium at $85
Look elsewhere if
- Too light for anyone on Essentials: one user, and no inbox, analytics or approvals until Standard
- Skip it if you want the API, since it's Enterprise only, with no published price
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as there's only a 14-day trial
- Pricey if you bulk schedule or need client approvals, which need Premium at $85 a month
- Watch out: extra social accounts cost $4 a month each and extra users $5 each

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
