Head to head
Crowdfire vs Loomly
Last updated 4 June 2026
vs
Crowdfire's social media app shut down in 2025, so this is here for the record rather than as a recommendation. In its day it leaned on content curation, surfacing articles and images to share, plus scheduling, light analytics, and the follower management it started life with as JustUnfollow.

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.

Bottom line
Crowdfire and Loomly both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post.

- 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.
