  • 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.

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

Scheduler.social

  • AI per-platform content adaptation and writing
  • Cheap, with unlimited accounts and 20 collaborators on Pro
  • Approval workflows and bulk upload
  • Experimenting with agentic campaign planning
  • Several networks still 'coming soon'
  • No engagement inbox or listening
  • AI is credit-metered, and there's no free plan
  • Young product from a small, lightly-documented maker
