Head to head
Feedly vs X Pro
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
X Pro is the rebuilt TweetDeck: a multi-column dashboard for power users on X, with post and thread scheduling, real-time search columns, and multi-account monitoring. As of 2026 it's locked behind X's $40-a-month Premium+ tier, which is the catch.
- From
- $33 /mo
- Free plan
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. X Pro fits heavy X users and community managers who live in the timeline better.
Feedly starts cheaper, $6 a month against $33 a month for X Pro.

- 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.
X Pro
X Premium+
$33/mo billed annually
- Seats
- 1
- Accounts
- Unlimited
- X Pro is bundled with X Premium+ (about $40/mo, $395/yr)
- Column-based decks, multi-account monitoring, post and thread scheduling
- Access to multiple X accounts you control
- X Pro isn't sold on its own. It used to come with the cheaper X Premium plan (around $8/mo), but in March 2026 X moved it behind the top X Premium+ tier, roughly $40 a month (about $395 a year), so the real cost of using X Pro is a Premium+ subscription.
- It only manages X, so the value is entirely about how much you live on that one network.
- X has signalled a replacement product may follow, so the access terms here may change.
