Publora

- From
- Free
- Free scheduling
- Yes
X Pro
X Pro is X's multi-column workspace for monitoring timelines and searches while managing publishing. Legacy Premium+ explicitly includes it; the new X Subscription maps eligible personal accounts to full Premium+ benefits, so verify the subscription family and intended account before paying.
- From
- Subscription eligibility requires confirmation
- Free scheduling
- No
Bottom line
X Pro is the pick for people who regularly monitor several X timelines and searches. Publora fits developers building hosted publishing integrations better, and it's the only one of the two with a free scheduling plan.
A verified price comparison requires the same billing term, currency and eligible workload. See each pricing section for the published terms.

Agency
Custom quote
- Seats
- Unlimited
- Accounts
- Not confirmed
- Scheduled posts
- Unlimited
- Isolated client workspaces and role-based access
- One-link client approvals
- Confirm client capacity and contract limits in the quote
- The pricing page displays dollar amounts without explicitly naming the currency. Numeric paid offers and monthly price comparisons are withheld until the currency is confirmed.
- Pro uses marginal bands: each connected account is charged at the rate for its position in the account count. The annual rates are monthly equivalents billed yearly.
- Starter includes three accounts and 15 monthly posts across the account. Its three-pending-post limit and seven-day scheduling horizon are separate restrictions.
- Pro advertises unlimited posts, while the rate-limit guide specifies 5,000 monthly posts per connection under fair use. Purchased account quantity determines connection capacity.
- Pricing and the rate-limit table exclude X on Starter, but another sentence in the rate-limit guide says there is no platform restriction. Budget for Pro when X is required and confirm the entitlement.
- Public-media ingestion has a separate 60-URL hourly limit. Receiving a scheduling response does not confirm publication on every destination.
- Video-upload limits are 50MB on Starter and 250MB on Pro; Agency is custom. Current refund policy advertises seven days from first payment.
X Pro
Legacy US web Premium+
US$40 monthly or US$395 annually
- Legacy X help explicitly includes Pro in Premium+
- Confirm the existing account's renewal amount and access
The X Subscription Premium
$30 monthly or $300 annually; currency unconfirmed
- New Premium includes full Premium+ benefits for eligible connected personal accounts
- Pro access follows from the documented benefit mapping; account access has not been tested
- Organization-managed and affiliate accounts cannot use this personal-account connection route
- Pro is bundled with subscription benefits. Legacy Premium and new Premium are different packages; the plan name alone does not establish Pro access.
- Legacy US web Premium+ lists US$40 monthly or US$395 annually. The new Premium document displays $30 monthly or $300 annually before sales tax without explicitly naming the currency.
- Within the legacy US option, twelve monthly payments total US$480 versus US$395 annually. Within the new displayed-dollar option, twelve monthly payments total $360 versus $300 annually. Confirm currency and eligibility before comparing the two options.
- Existing subscribers may keep their current plan; the official overview says a completed switch is permanent. Confirm renewal and refund treatment, including any store-billed subscription.
- The new subscription excludes organization-managed and affiliate accounts from personal-account connection. It should not be purchased on the assumption that it will unlock a client's managed account.
