Where Smartplannr is different

  • Approvals and client sign-off

    Require approval before anything is scheduled, and let clients approve from their own login, on every plan.

  • A free plan, not a trial

    Starter is free for as long as you like: 3 accounts, 10 scheduled posts and 30 published posts a month.

  • Password-protected reports

    Share reports by a link that expires, with an optional password, and white-label them on Pro and Max.

  • A workspace per brand or client

    Agencies run every client in its own workspace under one agency workspace.

  • Analytics that don’t estimate

    Smartplannr shows only the figures each network reports, and labels the rest unavailable. Analytics are included, not an add-on.

  • An inbox included

    Reply to, hide or delete comments from Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube on every plan, with no add-on.

Choose SocialPilot if…

  • You post to Pinterest, Google Business or Bluesky, which Smartplannr doesn’t support.
  • You need unlimited users. SocialPilot’s Ultimate lists unlimited users; Smartplannr’s largest plan includes 25 people.
  • You publish LinkedIn documents. SocialPilot lists LinkedIn document publishing on every plan.
