Meta Business Suite is the free, official way to schedule and manage Facebook and Instagram. It handles posts, Reels, and Stories, has a shared inbox and basic insights, and doubles as Meta's ads tool, but it only covers Meta's own networks.

Cloud Campaign publishes a price, from $41 a month; Meta Business Suite is quote-only. Cloud Campaign brings evergreen recycling that Meta Business Suite skips, while Meta Business Suite has social inbox Cloud Campaign doesn't.
