What a social media tool costs for 3 clients

3 client businesses, each on 5 networks, about 20 posts per client a month. For every tool below: the cheapest plan on its own price list that covers it, in the unit it bills, with the link and the date we read it.

Short answer. PostWire Starter covers 3 clients for $9 a month, every network of every client included and each network's post written for you. On the other tools in this table the same 3 clients cost from $24 (Upload-Post) to $399 (Sprout Social).

Competitor prices read on each vendor's pricing page on the date in its row; PostWire's from src/plans.js, the code that bills you.

Where PostWire is ahead for an agency

  • The lowest bill in this table for 3 clients. Starter: $9 a month. The next one is Upload-Post at $24 (Basic).
  • One price per business. A client on 3 networks or on 10 costs the same, so adding TikTok or YouTube for a client never moves the bill. Per-channel and per-account tools bill each network of each client.
  • Each network's post written for you from one brief, AI included in the plan — a hook-first TikTok caption, a YouTube title and tags, a longer LinkedIn post — then published or scheduled together.
  • Client approval from a link. On Pro and above a client approves each network's version from a signed link, without a PostWire account (5 approvers per business on Pro, 25 on Agency).
  • Team seats included: 25 on Pro, 100 on Agency, with roles (editor, contributor, approver, viewer), each limitable to some clients.
  • Start free, no card (1 business), and a 14-day refund on every paid plan.

Questions people ask

What do social media tools cost for 3 clients?

For 3 client businesses on 5 networks each, with about 20 posts per client a month, the cheapest plan of each tool in this table: PostWire $9 (Starter), Upload-Post $24 (Basic), Metricool $25 (Starter), Blotato $29 (Starter), Post Bridge $39 (Marketer). Every competitor price was read on the vendor's own pricing page on the date next to it; PostWire's comes from the code that bills you.

How much does PostWire cost for 3 clients?

$9 a month on Starter (3 businesses fit in Starter (3 businesses)). PostWire charges per business: every network connects on every plan and a client's networks never change the price. Billed yearly it is 20% less. Paid plans have a 14-day refund.

Why do per-channel tools cost more for an agency?

Because they bill every network of every client. 3 clients on 5 networks are 15 channels or accounts on a per-channel tool, and 3 businesses on PostWire.

Do the prices include writing the posts?

PostWire's do: each plan includes the AI that writes each network's version from one brief. The other prices in this table are the publishing plans as listed on each vendor's pricing page.

How were these prices checked?

Each competitor tier was read on the vendor's own pricing page on the date shown, and a script re-reads the page and withdraws any number that no longer matches (it is then shown as Not listed). If a vendor changed its prices since, its page wins.
