Why people are leaving Loomly

No X. Loomly's list of supported platforms, updated in May 2026, has Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google Business, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok, Threads and Bluesky, but no X. Teams that post to X need a second tool.

Starter is $49 a month, and every approver is a user. Starter costs $49 a month billed yearly, or $65 billed monthly, for 12 social accounts and 3 users. Loomly counts every person in a calendar as a user, including a client who only approves posts.

The next step is $249. A fourth user or a 13th social account moves you to Beyond, at $249 a month billed yearly or $332 billed monthly. Beyond includes unlimited users and 60 accounts, which helps big teams more than small ones.

Plans changed after the 2025 takeover. Bending Spoons bought Loomly in January 2025, and Loomly moved accounts to new plans at renewal that year. Its help center says it cannot revert accounts to earlier plans or offer custom discounts.

Nothing to build on. Loomly's help center says it does not offer a public API; Zapier is the way to connect it. There is no MCP server, so an AI agent cannot plan or post for you.

What Loomly still does better

• Approval workflows and roles on every paid plan, with Slack and Microsoft Teams notifications.
• Recurring posts and CSV bulk upload of up to 60 posts, which OmniSocials does not offer.
• Unlimited users on Beyond, so a large team on few accounts can pay less than per-seat pricing.
• Snapchat by reminder, and custom channels for networks Loomly does not connect.
• An in-app AI assistant, Canva, Google Drive and native iOS and Android apps.

If your team lives in approvals, recurring posts and bulk uploads, Loomly is a solid pick. OmniSocials has no recurring posts, no CSV upload and no native app yet.

Loomly vs OmniSocials pricing

Both prices below are billed yearly and were checked on October 18, 2026. OmniSocials charges per seat: each brand (one workspace) and each teammate is a seat. Loomly charges per plan by accounts and users. OmniSocials costs less for one or two brands and for small teams. At 3 brands and 3 people the two cost about the same: $50 against Loomly Starter's $49. Past Starter, Loomly's Beyond plan has unlimited users, so a large team on a few accounts can pay less on Loomly.

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. Loomly's inbox covers Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Bluesky, without X, YouTube or Threads. 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. Loomly includes approvals on every paid plan too, but counts each approver as one of Starter's 3 users. See collaboration

For developers

Loomly has no public API. OmniSocials is built on one.

Loomly's help center says it does not offer a public API, and it has no MCP server; Zapier is the only way to connect it. OmniSocials gives you a REST API, an MCP server with 56 tools, SDKs, a CLI and webhooks for 12 platforms, in every seat and during the trial.
