Bottom line
Iconosquare is the pick for teams evaluating scheduled report delivery, and it's the only one of the two with a free scheduling plan. Zoho Social fits businesses already using Zoho CRM or the wider Zoho suite better, and it reaches Google Business and Mastodon among others, which Iconosquare doesn't.
A verified price comparison requires the same billing term, currency and eligible workload. See each pricing section for the published terms. Zoho Social adds a link-in-bio page that Iconosquare leaves out.
