Loomly vs Postly

vs

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 is an AI-forward, per-channel scheduler that reaches a dozen social networks plus email. It bills by channel (cheaper as you add more), throws in unlimited team members and an AI studio for text, image, and video, and adds bio pages and a social inbox.

Bottom line

Loomly and Postly both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post. Loomly is the stronger pick for Teams and agencies that need approval rounds and client sign-off; choose Postly for Creators and small agencies who want wide coverage cheaply.

  • Custom pricing for 61+ social accounts
  • Unlimited users and calendars
  • 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.
  • Prices are USD read off the live pricing page, which renders client-side; the page priced in USD when rendered here in Australia (Loomly does not geo-price), and the figures match current third-party listings. Monthly and annual numbers were read by toggling the billing switch.

  • Pro has a 5-channel minimum, so it effectively starts at $16 a month; the cost-at-scale figures start from one channel but you can't buy fewer than five on Pro.
  • There's a genuine free Starter plan (2 channels, 50 scheduled posts, 2 team members). Annual billing is about 20% cheaper.
  • Unlimited team members are included on Pro, unlike per-seat tools. Postly also sells email campaigns (Postly Email) alongside social.
  • Prices are USD, read off the live pricing page.
