Last updated 4 June 2026

Feedly isn't a social media scheduler at all. It's a content-discovery and monitoring tool, an RSS reader with AI on top, that social media managers use to find and track content. To actually schedule, you pair it with a real scheduler.

- $6 /mo
- Free plan
Meta Business Suite is the free, official way to schedule and manage Facebook and Instagram. It handles posts, Reels, and Stories, has a shared inbox and basic insights, and doubles as Meta's ads tool, but it only covers Meta's own networks.

Bottom line
Feedly and Meta Business Suite both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post. Feedly is the stronger pick for Social media managers who need a steady stream of content ideas; choose Meta Business Suite for Small businesses and creators focused only on Facebook and Instagram.

- Shared boards, team AI feeds, integrations
- Feedly is a content reader and discovery tool, not a social scheduler. It does not schedule or auto-publish social posts; it surfaces content you can then share manually or push into a scheduler like Buffer or Hootsuite (often via Zapier), which means paying for two tools.
- Plans: a free tier (100 sources), Pro at $6 a month on annual billing, Pro+ at $8.25 (adds Feedly AI / Leo), and an Enterprise market-intelligence plan from around $1,600 a month.
- Prices are USD from current listings.
- It's included here because social media managers use it to find and monitor content, not because it publishes.

- Meta Business Suite is free. It only covers Meta's own networks, Facebook and Instagram, so there's no paid tier and no cost to weigh, just the limit of which networks it reaches.
- Scheduling runs up to 75 days in advance, with a cap of about 25 scheduled posts a day per account.
- It doubles as Meta's ads tool, so you can boost posts and run paid campaigns from the same place.
- Threads has its own scheduling path rather than full management here; that's covered separately.
