Airtable is a flexible database and spreadsheet platform priced per editor (seat), not a social media scheduler. Teams use it to build content calendars, plan and approve posts, and track campaigns.
It does not publish to social networks on its own. To actually post, you connect it to a scheduler or wire up automations through Make, Zapier, or scripts.
Per-editor billing is the main cost: Team is $20 and Business $45 per editor a month on annual billing; viewers, commenters, and form submitters are free. The Free plan allows up to 5 editors.
Add-ons include client portals (priced per guest) and extra AI credits.
Prices are USD, read off Airtable's pricing page. It's included here because many social teams plan in Airtable, not because it publishes.

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.
