Head to head
CoSchedule vs Loomly
Last updated 4 June 2026
vs
Part social scheduler, part marketing calendar: CoSchedule schedules to eleven networks, recycles evergreen posts with ReQueue, and on the bigger plans pulls whole content projects onto the same timeline. It is priced per seat from a free plan up to quote-only tiers, with social profiles and X billed as extras.
- From
- $19 per user / mo
- Free plan
Loomly walks you through making a post: a calendar of suggested ideas, optimization tips per network, and a mockup that shows how the post will look on each one before it goes through an approval round. It charges flat, quota-bundled tiers with no free plan, just a 15-day trial, and the jump from the $65 Starter to the $332 Beyond is steep.

- $49 /mo
- Free plan
Bottom line
CoSchedule is the pick for content teams that want social and editorial work on one calendar, and it's the only one of the two with a free plan. Loomly fits teams and agencies that need approval rounds and client sign-off better.
CoSchedule starts cheaper, $19 per user / mo against $49 a month for Loomly. They bill on different units, so the real gap depends on how much you run. CoSchedule adds link in bio and AI images that Loomly leaves out.

- Priced per user/seat: the headline $29 / $69 is for one seat and multiplies by how many people you add. The two self-serve paid plans, Social Calendar and Agency Calendar, cap at 3 seats each; Content Calendar and Marketing Suite are quote-only.
- Social profiles are a second, separate cost. Social Calendar bundles 3 and Agency 5, then it is $5 a month per extra profile.
- X (Twitter) is billed on top of everything else because of X's API pricing: $8 per profile a month on Social Calendar and $25 per profile a month on Agency, Content, and Marketing Suite.
- There is a genuine Free Calendar (1 user, 1 profile, 15 scheduled messages) plus a 14-day trial of the paid features.
- Annual billing is cheaper per seat (the page shows a 'save 20%' banner): Social Calendar drops from $29 to $19 a seat and Agency from $69 to $59.
- Prices are USD read off the live pricing page, which renders client-side; monthly and annual figures were read by toggling the billing switch and cross-checked against current third-party 2026 listings.
What it really costs
CoSchedule charges per seat, so the headline price is for one. Here is the monthly cost as you connect more, with the 2-seat row marked as a realistic setup.
| seats | Social Calendar | Agency Calendar |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $29/mo | $69/mo |

- Everything in Beyond, plus priority support and pricing at scale
- Flat, quota-bundled tiers: each plan includes a fixed number of social accounts and users, and you move up a plan rather than buying accounts or seats one at a time. Loomly dropped its old four-tier lineup (Base, Standard, Advanced, Premium) for two paid plans plus Enterprise.
- There is no free plan, only a 15-day free trial of the top features, no card required.
- Annual billing is a flat 25% off: Starter works out to $49 a month ($588/yr) and Beyond to $249 ($2,988/yr).
- The gap between Starter and Beyond is the main gripe: if you outgrow 12 accounts or 3 users there is no mid-tier and no a-la-carte top-up, so the next step is $332 a month.
- Nonprofits get a 50% lifetime discount with documentation.
- Prices are USD read off the live pricing page, which renders client-side; the page priced in USD when rendered here in Australia (Loomly does not geo-price), and the figures match current third-party listings. Monthly and annual numbers were read by toggling the billing switch.
Pros and cons
CoSchedule
- ReQueue is a genuinely good evergreen recycling engine
- Publishes directly to eleven networks, with a usable free plan
- Doubles as a marketing project and content calendar on the higher tiers
- Strong agency features: client calendars, white-label reports, approvals
- Per-seat pricing plus per-profile and X surcharges make the real cost hard to read
- Self-serve plans cap at three users; the top two tiers are quote-only
- No social listening or competitor tracking
- The marketing-calendar breadth is overkill if you only want to schedule posts
Loomly
- Guided post creation with per-network mockups, post ideas, and optimization tips
- Multi-tier approval workflows with private or client-facing comments and version history
- AI for captions, replies, and analytics on every paid plan
- Publishes to ten networks, with direct TikTok and YouTube and reminder posting for Snapchat
- No free plan and a $65 entry, then a steep jump to $332 for Beyond
- Big gap between the two paid tiers, with no mid-tier and no a-la-carte top-ups
- No evergreen recycling queue and no link-in-bio
- Social listening is capped at a few searches a month
- No public API beyond Zapier
