HeyOrca vs MavSocial

vs

HeyOrca is an agency tool organised around the client calendar: you get a calendar per client, unlimited users on it, and a sign-off flow where clients approve posts by email without logging in. It charges per calendar, $59 on Basic or $149 on Pro, with a 40% discount once you run five or more.

MavSocial pairs scheduling with unusually strong digital asset management, including a built-in stock photo library, plus a social inbox and approval workflows. The catch is the network list: it covers the big names but skips TikTok and Pinterest.

Bottom line

HeyOrca and MavSocial both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post. HeyOrca is the stronger pick for Agencies that want a calendar and approval flow per client; choose MavSocial for Teams that want strong digital asset management built into the scheduler.

  • Custom pricing for managing many clients
  • White-label onboarding, priority support, ongoing training
  • Dedicated account management
  • Priced per calendar, which is HeyOrca's word for a brand or client: the headline $59 / $149 is for one calendar, and you pay again for each one. Every paid calendar includes unlimited users and 10 social accounts.
  • There's a 40% volume discount once you run 5 or more calendars, so the per-calendar rate drops to roughly $35 on Basic and $89 on Pro at agency scale; the cost-at-scale table reflects that. Annual billing is a further 15% off.
  • Extra social accounts beyond the 10 per calendar are $10 a month each.
  • On Basic, reporting ($59/mo), the social inbox ($39/mo), and social listening ($39/mo) are paid add-ons per calendar; Pro bundles all three in.
  • There's a genuine Free plan (1 calendar, 2 social accounts, 1 user, 15 posts a month) plus a 14-day trial of Pro, no card required.
  • Prices are USD, read off the live pricing page and cross-checked against current third-party listings.
