The best Agorapulse alternatives in 2026

If you were on the free plan

According to Agorapulse's help center, its free scheduling plan ended on 6 July 2026, while a free AI content plan remains. If you were scheduling on the free tier, your choices are a paid Agorapulse plan or another tool:

• Stay free: Buffer, Metricool, Publer and Planable have free plans with limits on channels or posts.
• Pay for simplicity: Postika starts at €29 a month for 5 channels, with a 7-day trial and everything included on every plan.
• Pay for a suite: Hootsuite or Sprout Social if you need an inbox and reports, priced per user.

Look at your actual posting volume first; many free plans cap scheduled posts.

Inbox users versus calendar users

Agorapulse users split into two groups:

• Inbox users reply to comments and messages every day. They need Hootsuite, Sprout Social or Metricool's inbox, or should stay with Agorapulse.
• Calendar users mainly plan and publish, often for several clients. They can save money and time with a dedicated scheduler.

For the second group, Postika keeps each client in its own project with its own channels and time zone, and lets your AI prepare the week. A typical prompt: "For every project, find the days next week with no LinkedIn post and draft one, in approval mode." Read manage social media with AI for more. The direct comparison is on Postika vs Agorapulse.

Moving clients over

1. List each client, its channels and its time zone.
2. Create one Postika project per client; projects are unlimited on every plan.
3. Connect each client's channels using the network's official login.
4. Recreate upcoming posts, ideally by pasting them into Claude connected to Postika and asking for approval mode.
5. Add photos and videos in the app where needed, then approve.

If clients were used to reviewing in Agorapulse, agree a new review routine first. Our guide on approval workflows for agencies covers practical options.

Which pick fits which team

A quick map of the list above:

• Solo marketers who were on the free plan: Buffer or Metricool.
• Agencies that publish for many clients and approve internally: Postika.
• Agencies whose clients approve in the tool: Planable.
• Teams that answer comments and messages all day: Hootsuite or Sprout Social, or staying with Agorapulse.

If you are not sure which group you are in, look at last month: count the hours spent in the inbox versus the calendar. Whichever is larger tells you which kind of tool to prioritize. Postika's channel tiers are on the pricing page.
