Head to head
Adobe Express Content Scheduler vs Feedly
Last updated 4 June 2026
Adobe Express is a design app, and its Content Scheduler, the home for what used to be ContentCal, lets you post to six networks straight from where you make the graphics. The scheduler is free for up to 1,000 posts a month; the value is the design library, not the scheduling features.
- From
- $8.33 /mo
- Free plan
Feedly isn't a social media scheduler at all. It's a content-discovery and monitoring tool, an RSS reader with AI on top, that social media managers use to find and track content. To actually schedule, you pair it with a real scheduler.
- From
- $6 /mo
- Free plan
Bottom line
Adobe Express Content Scheduler and Feedly both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post. Adobe Express Content Scheduler is the stronger pick for Creators who already design in Adobe Express; choose Feedly for Social media managers who need a steady stream of content ideas.

- Feedly is a content reader and discovery tool, not a social scheduler. It does not schedule or auto-publish social posts; it surfaces content you can then share manually or push into a scheduler like Buffer or Hootsuite (often via Zapier), which means paying for two tools.
- Plans: a free tier (100 sources), Pro at $6 a month on annual billing, Pro+ at $8.25 (adds Feedly AI / Leo), and an Enterprise market-intelligence plan from around $1,600 a month.
- Prices are USD from current listings.
- It's included here because social media managers use it to find and monitor content, not because it publishes.
