Agorapulse
Good for: Teams that want a 30-day trial and an MCP connector at no extra cost. Agorapulse charges per user, and each plan includes 10 social profiles, so the total depends on the size of your team and on how many profiles you add.
- Pricing
- Per user. Standard $99, Professional $149, and Advanced $199 per user a month, or $79, $119, and $149 billed annually. Each of these plans includes 10 social profiles, and you can add more. Custom is priced on request. Source
- Users
- Priced per user, so each person on your team adds to the bill. Source
- Approvals
- Simple approval workflows that route content to teammates or clients for one-step approval, and multi-step approval chains with several reviewers. Agorapulse marks the plans that include each one on its pricing page. Source
- AI and MCP
- An MCP connector for ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot, which Agorapulse says is free for all its users. Agorapulse also says an agent using it never publishes a post on the spot. Source

Buffer
Good for: People and teams who want to pay per channel or start on a free plan. Buffer also publishes to Bluesky, Mastodon, and Google Business Profile.

ReBrandOS
Good for: Agencies and freelancers who already write in ChatGPT or Claude. Your AI reads each client’s brand book through the ReBrandOS connector and drafts from it, and clients approve posts from a link without an account. One price covers up to 5 or 15 client brands.
Not a fit: ReBrandOS isn’t the right choice if you publish to Google Business Profile, Bluesky, Mastodon, or Reddit, or to LinkedIn company pages, because it doesn’t publish to them. It doesn’t have a free plan either. It’s built for teams that write with ChatGPT or Claude, so if your team uses neither, a tool with its own AI writer will suit you better.
- Pricing
- A flat monthly price set by the number of client brands: 1 on Agent, up to 5 on Agency 5, and up to 15 on Agency 15. Agent $29, Agency 5 $99, and Agency 15 $199 a month, or $24, $82, and $166 a month billed annually. Enterprise: custom.
- Users
- Unlimited seats on Agent, Agency 5, and Agency 15, with no per-seat pricing.
- Approvals
- Clients approve, ask for changes, or reject each post from a link, without an account. ReBrandOS doesn’t publish a post until it’s approved.
- AI and MCP
- You use ReBrandOS inside ChatGPT and Claude through its MCP connector. Your AI reads each client’s brand book through the connector and drafts posts from it.
- Networks
- Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn (personal profiles), Threads, Pinterest, and X.
- Trying it
- 3-day free trial on Agent, Agency 5, and Agency 15, with a card required. If you cancel before the trial ends, you aren’t charged.
Vista Social
Good for: Teams that want one suite with AI credits included, and add-ons such as listening and employee advocacy.
- Pricing
- A flat plan fee for a pool of social profiles and users. Professional $99 (15 profiles), Advanced $199 (30), and Scale $449 (70) a month, or $950, $1,910, and $4,310 billed yearly. Enterprise has custom pricing. Source
- Users
- Each plan includes a set number of users. Vista Social lists extra users and extra profiles as customizable and doesn’t publish a price for them. Source
