eClincher alternative: 3 businesses for $9 a month, and a free plan

eClincher is a social media management suite — publishing, a social inbox, analytics, brand monitoring and local SEO — priced from $149 a month for one brand, with a 14-day trial and an MCP server for AI assistants. PostWire writes a different post for each network from one idea and publishes it — from the dashboard, the REST API, n8n or an AI agent — on a free plan, with paid plans priced per business.

Short answer. PostWire's free plan publishes 10 posts a month for 1 business, 2 networks per post, with the REST API, the MCP server and the n8n node; eClincher has a 14-day trial, then Standard at $149 a month for 1 brand and 15 profiles. 3 businesses are $9 a month on PostWire, and 10 businesses are $29 against $349 for eClincher Professional.

Every eClincher price and feature here was read on eClincher's own pages on Oct 28, 2026, with the link next to it. If they changed since, their page wins.

Where PostWire is better than eClincher

  • A free plan, not only a trial. 1 business, 10 posts a month, 2 networks per post, videos and photos up to 100 MB, with the REST API, the MCP server and the n8n node, for as long as you like. eClincher's pricing page lists a 14-day free trial, then Standard at $149 a month.
  • 3 businesses for $9 a month. PostWire Starter covers 3 businesses with every network in each post and 3 seats. eClincher Standard is $149 a month for 1 brand and 15 profiles; more brands means Professional at $349.
  • 10 businesses for $29 a month. PostWire Pro covers 10 businesses, 25 seats and no monthly post cap. eClincher Professional is $349 a month for unlimited brands, 25 profiles (up to 40) and 5 users (up to 10).
  • 50 businesses for $99 a month. PostWire Agency covers 50 businesses and 100 seats. Past 40 profiles, eClincher is the Enterprise plan, priced by quote.
  • Seats for the team from the cheapest plan. 3 people on Starter ($9), 25 on Pro, at no extra cost. eClincher Standard has 1 user (up to 2), Professional 5 (up to 10).

  • An n8n node, the REST API and the MCP server on every plan, free included, so a workflow or an agent publishes without the dashboard. eClincher's MCP and API access come with its paid plans, and its integrations list has no n8n node.
  • ChatGPT and Claude connect as apps: PostWire's MCP server signs in with your PostWire account in Claude and ChatGPT. eClincher's MCP page says ChatGPT works through a custom GPT with its API.
  • RSS feeds and recurring posts in the plans. 1 feed on Free, 25 on Starter and 100 on Pro; 25 recurring posts on Starter.
  • X posts included in the plan. Starter includes 30 X credits a month and Pro 150; a plain post uses 1, with no X developer account of your own.

Who PostWire is for

  • You publish for one or a few businesses and want to start free, then pay $9 a month for 3 instead of $149 for 1 brand.

10 businesses on 5 networks each: the monthly bill

An agency or a freelancer with ten clients, each on five networks, about 20 posts per client a month. That is 50 connected accounts, which is where the pricing unit decides the bill.

ToolHow it's countedPer month
PostWire Pro10 businesses fit in Pro (10 businesses, unlimited posts, fair use 10,000 a month; 10 × 20 posts × 5 networks = 1,000)$29
eClincher Enterprise10 businesses × 5 networks = 50 profiles: Standard holds 1 brand and 15 profiles (up to 20), Professional ($349) up to 40 profiles, so 50 profiles is the Enterprise plan, priced by salesCustom quote

Monthly billing in USD, before tax. Prices as eClincher's pricing page showed them on Oct 28, 2026 (monthly billing); annual billing is $134.10 a month for Standard and $314 for Professional.

What “a different post per network” means

PostWire writes each network's version from one idea in one request — a caption with hashtags for Instagram, a fuller post for a Facebook Page, a professional angle for LinkedIn — and then publishes them. The same request works from the dashboard, the REST API, the n8n node or an AI agent.

The idea: Most people brush for about 45 seconds. Dentists recommend 2 minutes. Our clinic's tip: split your mouth in 4 and give each 30 seconds.

Fun fact: most people only brush for 45 seconds 😬 Dentists recommend 2 minutes — try splitting your mouth into 4 zones, 30 sec each. Simple, and it actually works! #DentalTip #OralHealth

Most people brush their teeth for 45 seconds. Dentists recommend 2 minutes. That gap is costing people real dental health — and almost nobody knows it. Here's the simple fix we share with every patient at our clinic: Divide your mouth into 4 zones. Upper right. Upper left. Lower right. Lower left. Give each one 30 seconds. That's it. You've just hit 2 minutes without watching a timer or guessing. No new toothbrush. No app subscription. No lifestyle overhaul. Just a mental framework that turns a vague recommendation into something you can actually follow. Why does it matter so much? Plaque starts hardening into tartar in as little as 24–72 hours. Most of the damage happens in the spots people rush through — back molars, the gum line, the inner surfaces nobody sees. The 4-zone method forces you to slow down and be deliberate. We've seen patients dramatically improve their gum health scores simply by fixing their brushing time — before changing anything else. Small habits, compounded daily, create outsized results. This applies to oral health. It applies to most things in life. If you work in healthcare, wellness, or patient education — what's the smallest habit change you've seen create the biggest impact for the people you serve? #DentalHealth #PreventiveCare #PatientEducation
