Loomly alternatives, compared

Loomly’s Starter plan covers 12 social accounts and 3 users; Beyond covers 60. Twenty-one alternatives compared by the channel cap on their entry plan.

The short answer

Loomly’s Starter plan covers 12 social accounts and 3 users with unlimited calendars, Beyond covers 60 social accounts with unlimited users, and Enterprise starts at 61 accounts, according to its pricing page. Each plan starts with a free trial that Loomly says needs no credit card. Approval workflows and roles are on Starter, which makes Loomly a fit for small teams that sign off posts together.

People look for an alternative when they post alone and do not need approvals, run more than 12 accounts without moving to Beyond, or want a plan that stays free.

The table further down compares twenty-one alternatives by how many channels their entry plan allows, read from each vendor’s own pricing page on the date shown. PostEase, which publishes this comparison, has no channel cap on any plan, the free one included.

Loomly’s plans, in its own words

Each plan adds to the one before it. Prices are left out on purpose: they change too often, and differ by billing period and currency, to compare fairly.

Why people leave Loomly

For a small team that drafts, reviews and approves posts together, Loomly is built around that workflow. The reasons people look elsewhere are mostly about fit:

  • Built for approvals. One person posting alone may pay for review steps they never use.
  • Three users on Starter. A fourth person means moving to Beyond.
  • Twelve accounts on Starter. A brand on several platforms with a second account on some, or a few clients, can pass it.
  • A trial, then a paid plan. There is no stated way to keep posting lightly for nothing after the trial.

What to compare

Before choosing, check the things that change what you pay and what you do every day:

  • Channels: how many the plan you would buy allows, and what the next one costs.
  • Seats: how many people can use it, and whether more cost extra.
  • Platforms: whether the platforms you post to are live for publishing, not only listed.
  • Approvals: whether you need them at all, and on which plan they start.
  • Inbox: whether comments and messages from every channel arrive in one place you can reply from.
  • Leaving: whether you can bring your existing calendar, and cancel without contacting anyone.

How PostEase compares, honestly

PostEase has no channel cap on any plan and no price per seat. Free includes every channel, 10 scheduled posts a month, publishing and the inbox; Creator, at $15 a month, adds Studio for video, Ideas, Automations, full Performance and the media kit. YouTube, X, LinkedIn (personal profile), Pinterest, Bluesky, and WordPress publishing are live today; Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Threads are pending each platform's own API approval.

If your team relies on multi-step approvals, custom roles or calendar 2FA enforcement, compare those carefully: Loomly lists them, and PostEase is built for creators and small teams who run every step themselves or with an agent. If you post to the live platforms and want scheduling, the inbox, video editing and a link-in-bio page in one place without an account limit, PostEase is built for that.

Moving your calendar from Loomly

PostEase imports any CSV of scheduled posts with a caption and a date column. The upload guesses the rest, shows each column it matched for you to confirm, reads both ISO and US date formats, and brings the posts in as drafts, up to 500 rows a file, even before every channel is reconnected.
