Head to head

Loomly vs Postly

Loomly

Loomly walks you through making a post: a calendar of suggested ideas, optimization tips per network, and a mockup that shows how the post will look on each one before it goes through an approval round. It charges flat, quota-bundled tiers with no free plan, just a 15-day trial, and the jump from the $65 Starter to the $332 Beyond is steep.

Postly

Postly sells paid channel-based publishing plans with a 14-day no-card trial. Its current USD 16 display is an annual monthly equivalent for five channels, and AI Studio image/video capacity costs extra.

Bottom line

Postly is the pick for creators and small agencies who want wide coverage cheaply, and it reaches Bluesky and Mastodon among others, which Loomly doesn't. Loomly fits teams and agencies that need approval rounds and client sign-off better.

A verified price comparison requires the same billing term, currency and eligible workload. See each pricing section for the published terms. Postly adds a link-in-bio page and AI images that Loomly leaves out.

  • Custom pricing for 61+ social accounts

  • Everything in Beyond, plus priority support and pricing at scale
  • Flat, quota-bundled tiers: each plan includes a fixed number of social accounts and users, and you move up a plan rather than buying accounts or seats one at a time. Loomly dropped its old four-tier lineup (Base, Standard, Advanced, Premium) for two paid plans plus Enterprise.
  • There is no free plan, only a 15-day free trial of the top features, no card required.
  • Annual billing is a flat 25% off: Starter works out to $49 a month ($588/yr) and Beyond to $249 ($2,988/yr).
  • The gap between Starter and Beyond is the main gripe: if you outgrow 12 accounts or 3 users there is no mid-tier and no a-la-carte top-up, so the next step is $332 a month.
  • Nonprofits get a 50% lifetime discount with documentation.

  • The current 14-day trial needs no card and ends with a paid-plan choice; no automatic charge.
  • Pro displays USD 16/month equivalent, billed USD 192/year for five channels. This is not a flexible monthly quote.
  • Annual channel bands are marginal; each rate applies only to channels in its band. The current flexible monthly tariff was not captured.

  • Optional annual-billed add-ons: AI Studio $288/year per stack (100 images and 16 video seconds monthly); X-Pro $288/year per managed account (250 weighted credits monthly; link posts cost 14 credits, standard/media posts one). Enterprise Core displays $2,870.40/year for 25 channels before governance options and $1,500 onboarding.
