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.

Flat, quota-bundled plans: each tier bundles social accounts, users, and AI credits. Extra accounts are $4 a month each on every plan, and extra users are $5 a month on Standard and Premium, so the real cost depends on how many of each you add.
There's no free plan, only a 14-day trial, no card required.
Annual billing is a flat 15% off: Essentials works out to $17 a month, Standard $34, Premium $85, Ultimate $170.
AI credits are metered per plan (500, 1,000, 5,000, then unlimited). White-label reports and client approvals start on Premium.
Prices are USD. The live pricing page geo-located to Australia and showed AUD here, so the USD figures were taken from the page's USD view and cross-checked by converting the AUD (for example A$263.50 times about 0.66 lands near the $170 Ultimate annual rate).
