  • 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.
