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.
