| Metricool | Publer | |
|---|---|---|
| Pick it when | You want planning and simple analytics for more than one brand in one login. | You want a scheduler with an ongoing free plan and you can live without X on that plan. |

| Who it is for | People managing more than one brand who want planning and numbers in one login. | People who want a scheduler with a free starting plan and can live with its account limits. |
| Free plan | The free plan is $0 and caps how many posts you can schedule. | The free plan is ongoing. It cannot connect X (Twitter) accounts and caps scheduled posts at 10 per account. |
| Price we checked | Free is $0 per month (the page also showed €0) and can schedule up to 20 posts a month. Starter starts at €16 per month. The same page listed €16 for up to 5 brands, €29 for up to 10, €43 for up to 15, and €69 for up to 25. Paid US dollar amounts were not in the text. | A free-forever plan is listed (3 social accounts except X/Twitter, 10 scheduled posts per account). Professional starts at $5 per month for 1 social account and 1 user. Business starts at $10 per month for 1 social account and 1 user. Annual billing is offered (help says about 20% off vs monthly). Prices scale with more accounts and members. |
| The catch | Paid prices came through in euros. Do not assume the dollar checkout matches the euro number. The brand bundles change the price inside the same plan name. | If you need X, the free plan will not do it. Professional and Business prices start at one account and rise when you add accounts or members. |
