Why people are leaving SocialPilot
Essentials leaves out the basics. SocialPilot's cheapest plan, Essentials at $25.50 a month billed yearly, has no analytics, no social inbox and no approvals, and it holds one user. All of them start on Standard at $42.50 a month, with 3 users.
The inbox covers three networks. SocialPilot's help center lists Facebook Pages, Instagram Business and Creator accounts, and LinkedIn Pages for its Social Inbox. Comments on TikTok, YouTube, X and Threads stay in their own apps.
The API needs an Enterprise contract. API access comes only with Enterprise, which has no public price. The other plans get an MCP server that lets an AI agent create, schedule and check posts, but no REST API, SDKs or webhooks to build on.
Bulk upload and white label cost more. Bulk scheduling, CSV uploads and client approvals start on Premium at $85 a month billed yearly. The white-label dashboard, with your own domain and logo, needs Ultimate at $170 a month.
No Mastodon or Telegram. SocialPilot publishes to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, Google Business and Bluesky. Brands that also post to Mastodon or Telegram need a second tool.
What SocialPilot still does better
- More accounts for the money: Standard includes 15 social accounts and 3 users for $42.50 a month billed yearly, and each extra account costs $4.
- A white-label dashboard on Ultimate, with your own domain, logo and email, and white-label PDF reports from Premium.
- Bulk scheduling with CSV upload, RSS feeds, repeat posts and a content library.
- A native mobile app, a browser extension and a Canva integration on every plan.
- A 14-day trial without a credit card, and a separate review management product for local businesses.
If you manage many client accounts and need bulk uploads or a dashboard in your own brand, SocialPilot is the better fit. OmniSocials has no CSV upload, no white label and no native app yet.
SocialPilot vs OmniSocials pricing
