Cloud Campaign vs ContentCal

Cloud Campaign is a white-label scheduler built specifically for agencies: a brand workspace per client, unlimited users, client portals, content recycling, and AI, with the whole thing rebrandable as your own. Plans run from $41 a month on annual billing, priced by workspace.

Free plan

ContentCal was a well-liked UK content calendar built around planning and approvals. Adobe bought it in December 2021, closed the standalone product on 31 March 2023, and rolled its features into Adobe Express, so it's here for the record rather than as a tool you can buy.
