Crowdfire facts and prices checked on October 18, 2026 on Crowdfire's pricing page (archived May 14, 2025) and Crowdfire's shutdown note (archived May 19, 2025). Prices in USD. Something out of date? Tell us.

Why Crowdfire users need a new tool

Crowdfire shut down. In May 2025 Crowdfire replaced its website with a goodbye note: after 15 years it had made "the difficult decision to shut down Crowdfire. Our platform is now offline." Customers were pointed to an email address for cancellations and refunds.

The site is now a media brand. By April 2026, crowdfireapp.com said Crowdfire is "becoming something new, a media platform" covering social media, Web3 and AI. It sells no scheduling plan, and its pricing page shows the same note (checked October 18, 2026).

It covered five networks. Crowdfire's last plans published to X, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram, plus Pinterest on paid plans. It never scheduled to TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon or Google Business.

Its plans were capped by accounts and queue size. Plus linked 5 accounts with up to 100 scheduled posts each, and the free plan 3 accounts with 10. The mentions inbox, the calendar view, bulk scheduling and a team member needed Premium at $37.48 a month billed yearly (prices from May 2025).

What Crowdfire did well

• Article and image suggestions for your topics, to fill a queue without writing every post. OmniSocials has no content curation.
• RSS feeds and posts from your blog, YouTube channel or Shopify and Etsy shop, with 5 to 25 feeds on paid plans.
• A Chrome extension to share articles while you read.
• Competitor analysis on Premium and VIP, for 2 to 20 competitors per account.
• A free plan and a lower entry price: Plus was $7.48 a month billed yearly.

All of that went offline with Crowdfire in May 2025. If curation and RSS were your workflow, pick a tool that has them, such as Zoho Social (RSS on Professional). OmniSocials has neither.

Crowdfire's last prices vs OmniSocials

The Crowdfire prices below are its last published ones, billed yearly; OmniSocials' prices were checked on October 18, 2026. OmniSocials charges per seat: each brand (one workspace) and each teammate is a seat. Crowdfire charged per plan by the number of social accounts. Crowdfire's last prices were lower for one brand: Plus cost $7.48 a month billed yearly. A teammate or a second brand needed Premium at $37.48. None of these plans can be bought today.

OmniSocials: $10 per seat a month billed yearly ($12 monthly), every feature included; X posts with a link use pass-through credits. Crowdfire can no longer be bought: it shut down in May 2025. Its numbers are its last published prices, billed yearly, from its pricing page as archived on May 14, 2025: Plus $7.48, Premium $37.48 and VIP $74.98 ($9.99, $49.99 and $99.99 billed monthly). We count 4 social accounts per brand; Plus had no team members, Premium one and VIP two.

What you get with OmniSocials

One calendar, filled by you or your AI agent

Plan in a week or month view, keep drafts in the tray and preview each post the way each platform shows it. Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another agent through the MCP server, and the posts it schedules land on the same calendar for you to check. How the MCP server works

One inbox for 7 platforms

DMs, comments and mentions from Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, X and Threads in one list, on every seat. Crowdfire's inbox tracked mentions on Facebook and Instagram, on Premium and VIP, until it went offline. See the inbox

Repost automations

Post on one platform and let an automation repost it to the others on your schedule, for example your Instagram Reels to TikTok, one a day at 9:00 AM. Automations can also bring in your older posts from 8 platforms. See automations

Approvals for teams and clients

Add approval steps per workspace, so a teammate or client signs off before a post goes live. Reviewers comment, request changes or approve, and roles decide who can post, reply or see analytics. See collaboration

For developers

Crowdfire is offline. OmniSocials is built on an API.

Crowdfire's plans listed no public API, and the platform went offline in May 2025. OmniSocials lets you post, reply and read analytics on 12 platforms from your own code or your AI agent. Every seat includes the REST API, the MCP server, the SDKs and webhooks, also during the trial.

Other Crowdfire alternatives

OmniSocials is not the only replacement. These five come up most when people look for a Crowdfire alternative. Each price is the vendor's cheapest paid plan, checked on its own pricing page.

• 

  Buffer

  Best for simple queues on a budget

  Free for 3 channels. Essentials from $6 per channel a month ($5 billed yearly). (checked Oct 18, 2026)

  The catch: You pay per channel and Essentials has one user, so 10 channels cost $60 a month billed monthly.

• 

  SocialBee

  Best for recycling evergreen content

  Bootstrap $29 a month ($24.20 billed yearly) for up to 5 profiles. (checked Oct 18, 2026)

• 

  Later

  Best for Instagram planning and influencer marketing

  Starter $25 a month ($18.75 billed yearly) for one social set. (checked Oct 18, 2026)

• 

  Publer

  Best for low-cost scheduling priced per account

  Free for 3 accounts. Professional from $5 a month for one account ($4 billed yearly). (checked Oct 18, 2026)

  The catch: Analytics, the API and MCP need Business ($8 a month for one account billed yearly), and there is no DM inbox.

  OmniSocials vs Publer
• 

  Zoho Social

  Best for teams that already use Zoho CRM or Zoho Desk

  Free for 1 brand without scheduling. Standard $15 a month ($10 billed yearly) for 1 brand. (checked Oct 18, 2026)

  The catch: Standard takes no extra brands or users, and the inbox and approvals need Premium at $40 a month billed yearly.

How to switch from Crowdfire

1. 1

   Connect your accounts

   Make a workspace for each brand and connect each account through the platform's own sign-in. Every feature is open for 14 days.

2. 2

   Rebuild your queue

   Crowdfire is offline, so there is nothing to import. Paste your posts into the composer, or give the list to your AI agent and let it schedule the week through the MCP server.

3. 3

   Replace the curation step

   OmniSocials suggests no articles. Pick the links you want to share, ask your AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client) to draft the posts, and check them on the calendar before they go out.
