Loomly Alternatives: 6 Social Media Tools Compared, With Prices

We started from the reasons people give for leaving Loomly: the price, the lack of a free plan, the mobile app and the depth of reporting. Then we looked at social media tools that do the same core job, planning, scheduling and publishing posts across channels, and checked each one's pricing page and public reviews in October 2026.

Every price on this page is copied from the vendor's own pricing page, and every complaint links to the review page it came from. We left out tools whose pricing page did not show a price we could check. RecurPost comes up often in searches for a Loomly alternative, but we could not check its prices, so it is not on this list.

• You want to pay less for a few accounts: Buffer. The free plan covers 3 channels, and paid plans are $5 or $10 per month per channel.
• You want a free plan with analytics: Metricool. It has a Free plan at $0 per month and Starter at $25 per month for up to 5 brands.
• You need client approvals, like Loomly: Planable or ContentStudio. Planable lets you try the first 50 posts free; ContentStudio starts at $19 per month billed annually.
• You run social for many brands at an agency: Vista Social or ContentStudio.
• You need the posts made as well as scheduled: Infinall AI. It makes the images, videos and captions from your brand, and the calendar is free on both plans.

Loomly charges per plan, not per user or channel. Starter is $65 a month, or $49 a month billed yearly, and includes 12 social accounts and 3 users. Beyond is $332 a month, or $249 a month billed yearly, with 60 social accounts and unlimited users. Enterprise is custom.

The alternatives price in different ways, so compare the bill for your own setup:

• Buffer charges per channel.
• Metricool charges per brand.
• Planable charges per workspace.
• ContentStudio and Vista Social charge per plan.
• Infinall AI charges a flat plan plus credits. Free gives 1,000 credits every month. Pro is $10 for the first month, then $30 a month or $299 a year, and gives 3,000 credits a month. Pro includes 2 free account connections; after that each account uses 300 credits a month. Planning, scheduling and publishing never use credits.

Prices change, so check each pricing page before you buy.

Loomly is still a good choice for a marketing team that needs stakeholders to review and approve posts before they go live. Its Starter plan includes approval workflows and roles, Beyond adds custom roles and workflows, and every plan has unlimited calendars. It also tracks sentiment, brand mentions and trending topics, and helps draft replies and flag important messages.

If you manage a dozen accounts with several reviewers, the per-plan price can work out cheaper than paying per user or per channel elsewhere. Several complaints above are about the mobile app, so if your team works mainly on desktop, they may not matter to you.
