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.

PromoRepublic has moved upmarket to franchises and multi-location brands. The current plans, Build, Grow, and Enterprise, are quote-only, priced by location and feature scope, with no public price ladder.
It previously offered self-serve Small Business and Agency plans (around $49 and $79 a month); those are legacy and no longer the focus.
Social media management is one part of a wider local-marketing suite that also covers reviews, listings, local SEO, and a large customizable content and template library.
There's no free plan, only a 14-day trial.
Prices are USD; PromoRepublic doesn't publish a fixed price ladder, so the plans are quote-only here.
