Social media scheduler pricing, explained

Per-seat, per-channel, and flat pricing all mean genuinely different things for how a bill grows as a team or a set of channels expands.

Per-channel pricing grows with how many accounts you connect

A per-channel model charges based on how many social accounts are connected, regardless of team size. Adding a new platform, or a second account on an existing one, raises the bill directly. This model costs the most for someone running many channels alone, since every new channel is a direct cost with nothing offsetting it.

Per-seat pricing grows with team size, not channel count

A per-seat model charges based on how many people have access, independent of how many channels are connected. This favors a small team running many channels, and costs more for a larger team managing relatively few. The two models optimize for different situations.

Flat pricing decouples the bill from both

A flat-price model charges the same regardless of channel count or team size within the plan's scope. The bill doesn't grow because you connected one more channel or added one more teammate. That favors an account planning to grow in either direction, since neither kind of growth raises the cost.

Project your usage forward before comparing sticker prices

The plan with the lowest advertised entry price is not always the cheapest option a year from now, once real growth in channels or team size is factored in. Estimate where your channel count and team size will realistically be in a year, then price each model against that estimate rather than today’s numbers.

Run every channel from one calendar.

Every channel you have, included. Adding another does not change the price.
