Head to head
Feedly vs SocialPilot
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
SocialPilot is the value pick for agencies and small businesses: ten networks, bulk scheduling, a social inbox, AI, and white-label client reports, at prices well under the big suites. Plans run from $17 a month on annual billing, with extra accounts and users sold cheaply on the side.

Bottom line
Feedly is the pick for social media managers who need a steady stream of content ideas, and it's the only one of the two with a free plan. SocialPilot fits agencies and SMBs who want broad coverage and client reporting on a budget better, and it reaches Instagram and TikTok among others, which Feedly doesn't.
Feedly starts cheaper, $6 a month against $17 a month for SocialPilot. Feedly brings social listening that SocialPilot skips, while SocialPilot 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.
- 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).
