Best reporting and inbox handling for larger social teams
Sprout Social is the premium option: the best reporting and inbox handling in the category, priced per seat at a level that only makes sense for teams where social is a serious function.
$199/mo
30-day free trial
Best for solo operators and small teams that mainly need to publish
Buffer is the cleanest scheduling tool in the category and the only one whose pricing genuinely suits solo operators. Analytics and inbox depth are deliberately shallow compared with the premium platforms.
Free plan
paid from $5/mo
Best analytics and agency reporting for the money
Metricool delivers analytics close to the premium platforms at a fraction of their price, including paid and organic in one view. The interface is denser and the brand less familiar outside Europe.
Free plan
paid from $18/mo
