ContentCal vs FeedHive

vs

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.

Free plan

FeedHive is an AI-first scheduler best known for predicting how a post will perform before you hit publish. Alongside that it does AI writing, content recycling, conditional posting, and a social inbox across ten networks. It started as an X tool and grew broader.

Pricing

ContentCal

  • ContentCal was acquired by Adobe in December 2021 and the standalone product closed on 31 March 2023. You can no longer buy it.
  • Its content calendar and scheduling features were folded into Adobe Express as the Content Scheduler, which is reviewed separately.
  • When it ran, ContentCal sold flat monthly plans (a Pro tier and a larger Company tier); those plans no longer exist, so no current pricing applies.

  • 500 social accounts, 100 workspaces
  • White-label, 100,000 AI credits, priority support
  • Flat, quota-bundled plans by social accounts, with AI credits and automation runs metered per plan (2,500 to 100,000 AI credits).
  • There's no free plan, only a 7-day trial. Annual billing saves up to 30%; the annual figures here are derived from that.
  • White-label is included on the Agency plan.
  • Prices are USD; FeedHive also prices in EUR (the page geo-located to EUR when checked), so the USD figures were taken from FeedHive's USD listings.
