Bottom line

LinkedIn post scheduling is the pick for LinkedIn-only users who just want to queue the occasional post. HeyOrca fits agencies whose service revolves around client calendars better, and it reaches Facebook and Instagram among others, which LinkedIn post scheduling doesn't.

A verified price comparison requires the same billing term, currency and eligible workload. See each pricing section for the published terms. HeyOrca adds social listening and a social inbox that LinkedIn post scheduling leaves out.
