Head to head
Feedly vs Publora
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.
- From
- $6 /mo
- Free plan
Publora is a cheap, API-first scheduler that charges per connected account. It covers eight networks, including newer ones like Bluesky and Mastodon, has AI suggestions and agency workspaces, and is built with developers and automated pipelines in mind.

- $2.99 per account / mo
- Free plan
Bottom line
Publora is the pick for developers building automated content pipelines, and it's the cheaper start, from $2.99 per account / mo. Feedly fits social media managers who need a steady stream of content ideas better, and it adds social listening that Publora leaves out.
Publora starts cheaper, $2.99 per account / mo against $6 a month for Feedly. They bill on different units, so the real gap depends on how much you run. Feedly brings social listening that Publora skips, while Publora has AI captions Feedly doesn't.

- 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.
