Feedly vs Publer
Last updated 4 June 2026
vs
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
The value pick: Publer posts to thirteen networks, Telegram and WordPress included, and bundles bulk upload, recycling, and RSS automation for less than most rivals charge. It's priced per connected account, the interface is busy, and X needs a paid plan.

Bottom line
Feedly and Publer 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 Publer for Power users posting to many networks at once.

- 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.

Enterprise
Custom
- Quote-only for large organisations
- Higher volume discounts, 1:1 onboarding, priority support
- Priced per connected social account: the headline $5 / $10 is for one account and multiplies by how many you connect. Every 10th account (and every 10th extra member) is free, so the effective rate dips about 10% at higher counts.
- Team members are a second, separate cost: $2 a month each on Professional, $3 on Business, with the plan owner already included.
- X (Twitter) needs a paid plan because of X's API pricing; it can't be connected on the Free plan at all.
- There's a permanent Free plan (3 accounts, no X) plus a 7-day trial of Professional and a 14-day trial of Business, no card required.
- Annual billing is roughly 20% cheaper per account ($5 to $4 on Professional, $10 to $8 on Business). Listed prices exclude VAT, and there's a 14-day money-back guarantee.
- Prices are USD. The live pricing page renders client-side and geo-located to Australia here, showing AUD, but it also prints an explicit US-dollar figure per plan; the USD numbers were read directly and confirmed by toggling monthly and yearly, and they match current third-party 2026 listings.
