- Extra social sets $15/mo each ($11.25 on annual)
- Priced per social set. A social set is one profile on each of the eight networks Later supports, so the headline price covers a whole brand across networks rather than a single channel.
- Starter is capped at one social set and one user with no add-ons, so its column in the cost table stays flat. Only Growth and Scale let you add social sets, at $15 each per month ($11.25 on annual).
- Extra users are $5 a month each on Growth and Scale ($3.75 on annual). Growth's two included sets and Scale's six converge in price once you pass six sets, since both add extra sets at the same $15 rate; above that you pay Scale only for its deeper features.
- Annual billing gives three months free (about 25% off): Starter $18.75 vs $25, Growth $37.50 vs $50, Scale $82.50 vs $110 per month.
- Later still has a limited free plan (Link in Bio plus a small posting allowance, aimed at creators joining brand campaigns), but it's off the main pricing page, which now leads with a 14-day trial.
- Prices are USD list, read off the live pricing page, which bills in USD worldwide. The monthly and annual figures were confirmed by toggling the page's billing switch and cross-checked against current third-party listings.

- Scalable users and profiles, built with their team
- Optional SSO, dedicated customer success, white label (from $790/mo with it)
- Flat, quota-bundled tiers: each of the five plans includes a fixed number of users (each user is also a separate calendar) and social profiles, and you move up a plan as you outgrow the quota rather than buying seats or profiles one at a time.
- You can also add a bundle of extra users and profiles without changing plan. On Creator a bundle is one more user and six more profiles for an extra $29 a month, taking the total to $58; the bundle size and price vary by plan.
- White labelling (your own branded dashboard and domain) is a paid add-on on Advanced and Enterprise. With it, Advanced starts at $315 a month and Enterprise at $790.
- There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial; no card to start, and you add one to keep going at the end.
- Annual billing is a flat 15% off, shown on the page as a 'save $X a year' figure, so Creator works out to about $25 a month, Scale to $170, and Enterprise to $638. Nonprofits get 15% off monthly or 25% off annual.
- Prices are USD read off the live pricing page, which renders client-side and defaults to USD with a currency selector (it does not geo-price to local currency). Monthly and annual figures were read by toggling the billing switch and cross-checked against current third-party 2026 listings.

- Smart Queues recycle evergreen content, and Monitoring covers keyword and mention tracking
- Direct publishing to nine networks, including Threads and Bluesky

- Pinterest has faded and Instagram DMs aren't in the inbox
- Several features have been sunset over the years (content suggestions, review monitoring)
