What 30 brands cost per month

| Tool | Charges | Plan that fits | Billed monthly | Billed yearly, per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upload-Post Our product | Per profile; each profile holds one account per network | Advanced: 75 profiles, unlimited uploads, white label | $147 | $118 |
| Metricool | Per brand | Advanced, up to 50 brands (no 30-brand tier) | $210 | $159 |
| Pallyy | Per client (social set) | Scale: 30 social sets, 10 users | $199 | Up to 25% less (no figure published) |
| Vista Social | Per social profile | Scale: 70 profiles, plus 20 more in packs of 10 | From $449, plus the extra profiles (price on request) | From $359, plus the extra profiles |
| Hootsuite | Per user | Professional for 3 users, unlimited accounts | Not published | $597 (3 × $199) |
| Sprout Social | Per seat | Professional for 3 seats, unlimited profiles | Not published | $897 (3 × $299) |
Per-channel tools grow with every account: Buffer charges $5 a channel on Essentials and $10 on Team, lowering the rate above 10 channels by an amount it does not publish, and SocialPilot’s largest listed plan holds 40 accounts, so 90 means its custom Enterprise plan. Prices exclude VAT where the vendor says so.
What an agency needs, and how Upload-Post does it
The price only matters if the workflow fits 30 clients.
One space per client
Each client gets a profile with one account per network, so 30 brands are 30 profiles whether they post to two networks or ten.
Clients connect their own accounts
Send a branded connection link; the client logs in on each network’s own screen and you never handle a password. How it works.
A calendar clients can review
Share a read-only calendar with each client: they see what is scheduled, with previews and captions, and cannot change anything.
Your brand, not ours
Logo, title, texts, theme and language on the connection page, from the Professional plan. How it works.
Automation and AI
Post for any client from the REST API, n8n, Make or Zapier, or by asking Claude or ChatGPT with the Upload-Post connector.
Numbers per client
Analytics per profile and per post across networks, from the dashboard or the API, for your monthly reports.
Upload-Post plans with white label
Pick by number of clients. Every plan has unlimited uploads, the REST API and the MCP server.
| Plan | Profiles (clients) | Billed monthly | Billed yearly, per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | 25 | $50 | $33 |
| Advanced | 75 | $147 | $118 |
| Business | 225, then $1 per extra profile | $438 | $350 |

Agency social media tools: frequently asked questions
What is the most cost-effective social media scheduler for an agency with 30 clients?
Of the tools we priced on 24 October 2026, Upload-Post: 30 brands fit its Advanced plan (75 profiles) at $147 a month, or $118 billed yearly, with unlimited uploads and white label. Metricool’s 50-brand tier costs $210 ($159 yearly), Pallyy’s Scale plan for 30 clients $199, and per-user tools such as Hootsuite and Sprout Social cost $597 and $897 a month for three people on annual billing.
Does the price go up with the number of networks per client?
Not on Upload-Post. A profile holds one account per network, so a client on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok still uses one profile. Tools priced per social profile or per channel, such as Vista Social and Buffer, charge for every account.
How do clients give my agency access to their accounts?
Without passwords. You send each client a branded connection link; they approve access on each network’s own login screen, and you post by naming their profile. They can revoke it at any time.
Can clients see or approve posts before they go out?
They can review them. A read-only calendar link shows each scheduled post with its network, date, preview and caption, and the client cannot edit, delete or reschedule anything.
Can I put my agency’s brand on it?
Yes, from the Professional plan: your logo, title, description, button text, theme and language on the page where clients connect their accounts.
What if I grow past 75 brands?
Business covers 225 profiles for $438 a month, or $350 billed yearly, and each profile beyond that is $1 a month.
Can I automate posting for clients?
Yes. Every plan includes the REST API and the MCP server, so you can post for any client from n8n, Make, Zapier, your own code, or an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT.
