Head to head
Agorapulse vs Loomly
Last updated 4 June 2026
Agorapulse schedules to ten networks, but the inbox and the reporting are the reasons to pick it: one place to handle every comment, DM, mention, review, and ad comment, plus ROI reports that pull Google Analytics to tie posts back to traffic and sales. It's billed per user, from $79 a seat each month on annual, with a small free plan and a 30-day trial.

- $79 per user / mo

Loomly walks you through making a post: a calendar of suggested ideas, optimization tips per network, and a mockup that shows how the post will look on each one before it goes through an approval round. It charges flat, quota-bundled tiers with no free plan, just a 15-day trial, and the jump from the $65 Starter to the $332 Beyond is steep.

Bottom line
Agorapulse and Loomly both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post. Agorapulse is the stronger pick for Teams that spend more time on engagement than on posting; choose Loomly for Teams and agencies that need approval rounds and client sign-off.

- Priced per user/seat: the headline $79 / $119 / $149 is for one user and multiplies by how many people you add. The per-user rate is flat, with no volume discount for more seats.
- Every paid plan includes 10 social profiles; extra profiles are $10/month each. Profiles are a bundled quota, not the thing the price multiplies by, so adding seats and adding profiles are two separate costs.
- There's a permanent free plan (3 profiles, 1 user, 10 scheduled posts, 100 inbox items a month) alongside a 30-day trial of Advanced features, no card required.
- Annual billing saves about 20%: Standard $79 vs $99, Professional $119 vs $149, Advanced $149 vs $199 per user/month, which the page states as $240, $360, and $600 off per user per year.
- X (Twitter) management is sold as a paid add-on, X Lite for publishing and threads or X Plus for full inbox and analytics, because of X's API pricing.
- Advanced Listening, Advocacy (employee advocacy), and Competitive Benchmarking are separate add-ons billed on quote with a demo required, not included in the base plans.
- Prices are USD list. The pricing page renders 'US $' figures even from an Australian IP; the annual numbers were read off the live page, the monthly numbers confirmed by toggling the billing switch, and both cross-checked against current third-party listings. List prices have risen from older published figures (around $49 / $79 / $109), so these reflect the current live plans.

- Unlimited users and calendars
- Everything in Beyond, plus priority support and pricing at scale
- Flat, quota-bundled tiers: each plan includes a fixed number of social accounts and users, and you move up a plan rather than buying accounts or seats one at a time. Loomly dropped its old four-tier lineup (Base, Standard, Advanced, Premium) for two paid plans plus Enterprise.
- There is no free plan, only a 15-day free trial of the top features, no card required.
- Annual billing is a flat 25% off: Starter works out to $49 a month ($588/yr) and Beyond to $249 ($2,988/yr).
- The gap between Starter and Beyond is the main gripe: if you outgrow 12 accounts or 3 users there is no mid-tier and no a-la-carte top-up, so the next step is $332 a month.
- Nonprofits get a 50% lifetime discount with documentation.
- Prices are USD read off the live pricing page, which renders client-side; the page priced in USD when rendered here in Australia (Loomly does not geo-price), and the figures match current third-party listings. Monthly and annual numbers were read by toggling the billing switch.
