HeyOrca vs TikTok web scheduler

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.

Free plan

TikTok lets Business and Creator accounts schedule videos for free inside TikTok Studio on the web. It's handy for queueing the odd post up to ten days ahead, but it's deliberately bare: one video at a time, desktop only, no bulk, no calendar.

Bottom line

HeyOrca and TikTok web scheduler 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 TikTok web scheduler for Solo creators queueing the occasional TikTok in advance.

  • 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.
