Gain
Gain is a content-approval tool first and a scheduler second. Its whole point is getting client sign-off without friction: clients review and approve posts by email or SMS without logging in, channels are unlimited, and you pay by team size and client count rather than per account.

Bottom line
Blotato is the pick for solo operators combining AI asset creation and publishing. Gain fits agencies whose bottleneck is client review and sign-off better.

- Monthly prices remain USD 29/97/499. Billing help now documents 20/40/100 connected accounts and 200/1,000/3,000 simultaneously queued posts. All plans schedule up to nine months ahead. Annual plans are offered, but exact annual totals were not verified.
- The seven-day trial has 60 AI credits and excludes API access. Generating an API key immediately ends the trial and begins paid subscription billing, even if trial days remain.
- Credit use depends on model, duration and audio. Published examples list GPT-image-1 at 25 credits per image and Veo 3.1 Fast at 35 credits per second without audio or 50 with audio; verify the selectable settings and displayed job cost.
- The credit help page says AI voiceovers do not consume generation credits, while the pricing FAQ includes voice in its credit-usage description. Confirm the current in-app treatment for voice-heavy work.
- Unlimited AI-writing wording does not mean unlimited image or video generation. Include successful regenerations and editing time when calculating cost per accepted asset.
