ContentCal vs RADAAR

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.

RADAAR is an affordable all-in-one social tool that bundles scheduling, a unified inbox, and monitoring with a grab-bag of extras most rivals don't have: a URL shortener, landing pages, an RSS reader, a task manager, and a shared password vault. Plans start at $9.99 a month.

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.
