Bottom line
Postiz is the pick for technical teams that want to control a scheduler deployment, and it's the only one of the two with a free scheduling plan. SocialPilot fits agencies preparing content in batches across many accounts better.
A verified price comparison requires the same billing term, currency and eligible workload. See each pricing section for the published terms.

- The current pricing page lists Essentials/Standard/Premium/Ultimate capacities of 5/10/20/40 accounts. The July machine-readable reference still lists 7/15/25/50; confirm the current allowance before purchasing.
- Premium $100 monthly/$85 annual equivalent and Ultimate $200/$170 agree with the explicit USD reference. Essentials and Standard tariffs conflict across the two official sources, so a current matched bill is not encoded.
- Premium is the current client-management and client-approval entry tier. Internal manager review and external client sign-off are distinct.
- Additional accounts and users are paid extras. Granting a client Publish Post access makes that client occupy a team-member slot.
- Inspect Auto-Approve and manager-routing settings when explicit client sign-off is required.
- SocialPilot markets separate Reviews and Listings products; a publishing-only configuration does not include those by implication.
