Agorapulse combines publishing and inbox work with reporting and team collaboration. Its free plan has limits on users, profiles, and scheduled posts; paid plans start at $79/user/mo with annual billing.

It suits social media managers who want publishing, inbox, listening, and reporting tools across supported networks. Teams can use its assignments, shared calendars, comments, and approval workflows.

Overview

Agorapulse brings social publishing, audience conversations, listening and reporting into one management service. It suits managers handling several networks and teams coordinating activity across shared calendars. Its breadth is a strength, but the free tier is tightly capped and paid plans are priced per user.

Key features

Publishing and inbox

Agorapulse supports Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, TikTok, Bluesky and Reddit. A CSV upload can schedule as many as 200 posts at once, a useful time-saver for teams preparing content in batches. The free plan's 10-post ceiling is better for a small trial than an ongoing publishing calendar.

The shared social inbox covers messages and comments. Free users get basic inbox and reporting, capped at 100 messages or comments monthly; Standard raises that allowance to 5,000. That makes the free tier suitable for light activity, but a busy account may need a paid plan to keep conversation volume within limits.

Teamwork, reporting and integrations

Team features include assignments, shared calendars, internal comments and approval workflows. The product's feature data identifies approval workflows as available, while the Free plan is limited to one user; teams needing structured review therefore need a paid plan. Advanced includes five shared calendars. Analytics and reporting are included, with basic reporting on Free; plans retain six, 12 or 24 months of post and inbox data.

Security controls include two-factor authentication, profile restrictions, custom roles, feature visibility controls and single sign-on. Integrations include ChatGPT, Claude, Google Analytics, Google Drive, Canva, Zapier, CRMs, Slack and Teams. Global support is available 24/7. Companion apps are available for iOS and Android.

Pricing

Agorapulse offers a free plan and a 30-day trial. Annual billing saves up to 20%. The published starting price is $79/user/mo with annual billing; the named plan prices below are monthly amounts billed annually.

• Free: free. One user, three social profiles, 10 scheduled posts and up to 100 messages or comments per month, with basic inbox and reporting. It is a practical way for one person to try the workflow, not a generous ongoing plan.
• Standard: $99 a month, billed annually. It includes 10 social profiles and up to 5,000 messages or comments monthly, aimed at a social media manager handling the work alone. It gives up the larger-team structure of higher plans.
• Professional: $149 a month, billed annually. It includes 10 social profiles and is positioned for growing teams that need to work together faster.
• Advanced: $199 a month, billed annually. It includes 10 social profiles and five shared calendars, for teams that need more structure and deeper insights.
• Custom: custom pricing for large teams or enterprises. It includes unlimited social profiles, a dedicated account manager, single sign-on and an Open Reports API.

The named paid plans each show 10 profiles, so moving up the tiers is about team needs and included structure rather than a larger profile allowance. The published starting rate is lower than the named Standard price; compare the per-user starting rate with the plan terms that fit your team.

Platforms

Agorapulse supports Android and iOS companion apps and covers 11 social networks, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Google Business Profile and Reddit.

Who it's for

Agorapulse is a strong fit for social media managers who want publishing and inbox work together, and for teams that need assignments, internal discussion and approval steps. Agencies and organizations managing many channels can also benefit from the broad network support and bulk scheduling. A solo user with modest volume can start on Free, but its one-user, three-profile and 10-post limits are restrictive. It is less compelling for anyone who needs an approval workflow while staying on a free plan or wants more profiles on a named paid tier.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Supports 11 social networks, giving managers broad channel coverage in one service.
• Pro: CSV bulk scheduling handles up to 200 posts at once, useful for preparing content in batches.
• Pro: Assignments, shared calendars, internal comments and approval workflows support coordinated team work.
• Con: Free is limited to one user, three profiles and 10 scheduled posts, so it is mainly a light-use starting point.
• Con: Standard, Professional and Advanced each list 10 profiles, limiting the reason to upgrade for organizations whose primary need is more profiles.
• Con: Paid named plans are billed annually, so the stated monthly prices come with an annual billing commitment.

Alternatives

Swaybase is worth considering if a free plan for up to 10 users matters more than Agorapulse's broader publishing and inbox workflow; its paid plan is $10 a month and includes unlimited posts. Choose Brand Networks if you want a self-serve or fully managed enterprise advocacy solution with pricing customized to program size, creator types, platforms and managed services. Apostle Social is another paid alternative, with its SRO Success plan at €299 a month. Content Stadium NETWORK APP uses demo-based or customized proposal pricing.

Sprout Social is a paid alternative with a free trial; its Essentials plan is $79 a month with annual billing, per seat, five profiles and 100 monthly AI agent credits per seat. StoryChief Broadcasts is a freemium-model alternative with a free trial and a Starter plan at €49 a month, billed €588 yearly. Ambo is a paid option with a Pilot plan at $20 a month per active advocate, including AI-assisted LinkedIn content, a content library and one-click publishing. Clearview Social is a paid option whose Team plan is $425 a month, billed annually, for one admin, three social accounts, employee advocacy and 50 employees.

Verdict

Choose Agorapulse if you need a single service for publishing, inbox management and team review across a broad range of social networks. Its bulk scheduling and collaboration tools make it particularly suitable for teams coordinating a steady stream of posts and conversations. Look elsewhere if a free plan must support multiple users or if your main priority is more than 10 profiles on a named paid plan.
