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.

Priced per connected social account: the headline $5 / $10 is for one account and multiplies by how many you connect. Every 10th account (and every 10th extra member) is free, so the effective rate dips about 10% at higher counts.
Team members are a second, separate cost: $2 a month each on Professional, $3 on Business, with the plan owner already included.
X (Twitter) needs a paid plan because of X's API pricing; it can't be connected on the Free plan at all.
There's a permanent Free plan (3 accounts, no X) plus a 7-day trial of Professional and a 14-day trial of Business, no card required.
Annual billing is roughly 20% cheaper per account ($5 to $4 on Professional, $10 to $8 on Business). Listed prices exclude VAT, and there's a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Prices are USD. The live pricing page renders client-side and geo-located to Australia here, showing AUD, but it also prints an explicit US-dollar figure per plan; the USD numbers were read directly and confirmed by toggling monthly and yearly, and they match current third-party 2026 listings.

Pros and cons

Agorapulse

Unified inbox for comments, DMs, mentions, reviews, and ad comments, built around inbox zero
ROI reporting that ties posts and conversations to traffic, leads, and sales via Google Analytics

Per-seat pricing climbs with the team, and every plan caps profiles at 10
Listening, advocacy, competitive benchmarking, and full X management are quote-based add-ons
No true evergreen recycling and no AI image generation
The depth is overkill if you only want a simple posting queue

Publer

Excellent value on per-account pricing, with every 10th account free
Widest network list here, including Telegram, Mastodon, and WordPress
Bulk CSV upload, auto-scheduling queue, Spintax recycling, and RSS automation
Genuinely useful free plan
Per-account pricing and separate member fees still add up at scale
No unified inbox for comments or DMs
X/Twitter is paid-only and analytics sit on the Business tier
Dense interface, and listed prices exclude VAT
