Best Sendible Alternatives for Agencies and Small Teams

Sendible is a capable agency platform, but it is priced in USD per workspace and social profiles with steep jumps between tiers, white label is a paid add-on, there is no Telegram support, and it has no public API. Entry is $30/mo on annual (Core), well above the flat plans below. The 7 tools were verified live on July 4, 2026. Each one fixes at least one Sendible constraint, whether that is a lower entry price, flat pricing you can predict, an API on every plan, or Telegram support. Start with the comparison table, then read the entry that matches why you are switching.

What is Sendible?

Sendible is a UK-founded social media management platform aimed at agencies and marketing teams, on the market since 2008. It publishes to around 10 networks (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, and Google Business Profile, plus WordPress for blogs), and pairs scheduling with a Priority Inbox, client dashboards, monitoring, and reporting. It is a genuine agency tool with a long track record.

Sendible recently restructured its pricing, and the headline change is a real plus worth stating up front: every plan now includes unlimited users. Instead of charging per seat, Sendible prices by workspace and social-profile count. On annual billing the tiers are Core $30/mo (1 workspace, 6 profiles), Plus $84/mo (3 workspaces, 18 profiles), Premium $169/mo (7 workspaces, 42 profiles), Elite $254/mo (15 workspaces, 90 profiles), and Enterprise $638/mo (50 workspaces, 300 profiles). The friction people run into is elsewhere: the jumps between tiers are large (Core to Plus is nearly 3x for 3x the profiles, whether or not you need them), profiles are capped per tier so needing a few more forces a whole-tier upgrade, white label is a paid add-on limited to Elite and Enterprise, there is no Telegram support, and Sendible does not offer a public API. Teams leave for one of those reasons, or simply because the $30/mo entry is well above a flat-priced alternative.

Sendible pricing explained

Sendible prices in USD and defaults to annual billing (Save 15 percent versus monthly). Every tier includes unlimited users; the caps that matter are workspaces and social profiles. All prices below were verified July 4, 2026 against sendible.com/pricing.

Sendible Core ($30/mo annual, $35/mo monthly). 1 workspace, 6 social profiles, unlimited users, unlimited scheduling, unlimited AI credits, bulk scheduling, monitoring and replying, and standard reports. This is the solo or single-brand tier.

Sendible Plus ($84/mo annual, $99/mo monthly). 3 workspaces, 18 profiles, unlimited users, plus assignment and approvals. The jump from Core is nearly 3x, which is the first place small teams feel the pricing.

Sendible Premium ($169/mo annual, $199/mo monthly). 7 workspaces, 42 profiles, plus content libraries, custom branded reports, campaigns, and dedicated onboarding. This is the tier most growing agencies land on.

Sendible Elite ($254/mo annual, $299/mo monthly) adds 15 workspaces, 90 profiles, bulk posting dynamic fields, and advanced permissions, and is the first tier where the white-label add-on is available. Sendible Enterprise ($638/mo annual, $750/mo monthly) covers 50 workspaces and 300 profiles with SSO and a dedicated account manager. The pattern to watch: profiles are capped per tier, so an agency that needs, say, 25 profiles pays for Premium's 42-profile tier whether it uses them or not, and white label costs extra on top. Flat per-account tools price only the accounts you connect and include branding without a surcharge.

Sendible vs SocialPilot, Sprout Social, and Hootsuite

Sendible vs SocialPilot vs PostFast is the core agency three-way. SocialPilot is the cheaper agency tool (Essentials $17/mo annual, 5 accounts) but it caps users per tier and charges $5/mo per extra user, and its API is Enterprise-only. Sendible counters with unlimited users on every plan, but at a higher entry ($30/mo) and with no public API at all. PostFast is flat per account (from 10 euros a month on annual for 4 accounts, 40 euros for 30 across 10 workspaces) with the API and MCP on every plan and Telegram support neither of the others matches. Pick SocialPilot for the lowest agency entry price, Sendible for unlimited seats plus a mature inbox, and PostFast for flat pricing plus an API without an Enterprise upsell.

Sendible vs Sprout Social is a jump up in both price and depth. Sprout is per seat (Standard $199 per seat per month on annual, Advanced $399 where the API lives), so a 3-seat team on Sprout Standard is $597/mo versus Sendible Premium at $169/mo with unlimited users. Sprout earns the premium with social listening, sentiment analysis, and CRM integrations; if your reason for leaving Sendible is that you need more analytics muscle, Sprout is the upgrade, but it is several times the cost. If it is anything else, Sprout is the wrong direction.

Sendible vs Hootsuite is a similar comparison against another per-seat veteran. Hootsuite is $99 per seat per month on annual for 10 accounts (Standard) and climbs to $199 (Professional, unlimited accounts) and $399 (Advanced). Because Hootsuite charges per user and Sendible now includes unlimited users, Sendible is usually the cheaper choice for any team past a single seat, while Hootsuite only pulls ahead if you specifically need its enterprise monitoring and listening. For most teams comparing the two, the question is really whether to avoid per-seat pricing altogether, which a flat tool answers best.

1. Best for flat pricing, an API on every plan, and Telegram: PostFast

PostFast logoOur pick

Cheaper entry, flat per-account pricing, and a public API plus MCP on every plan.

PostFast is the closest fit if you are leaving Sendible because the entry price is high or because you want an API Sendible does not offer. Pricing is flat per account on annual billing: Starter 10 euros a month (4 accounts, 1 workspace), Creator 24 euros (12 accounts, 4 workspaces), Growth 40 euros (30 accounts, 10 workspaces), Pro 82.50 euros (120 accounts, 30 workspaces), Enterprise 199 euros (500 accounts). Monthly billing is 12, 29, 49, 99, and 239 euros, and annual saves two months. The 10 euro entry sits well below Sendible Core ($30/mo annual), and workspace branding is included on Pro rather than sold as an add-on.

The API is the sharpest difference. PostFast ships a public REST API and an MCP server on every plan, including the 7-day trial, so you can publish from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, n8n, Make, or Zapier, or script your queue against documented endpoints. Sendible has no public API. PostFast also supports Telegram channels and groups, which Sendible does not, across 11 networks total (Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky, Threads, Pinterest, Telegram, and Google Business Profile).

Where Sendible still wins: unlimited users on every plan, a mature Priority Inbox for monitoring and replies, client dashboards, and a longer agency track record. PostFast does not yet offer a social inbox or client-facing dashboards, and its team seats are per workspace (5 on Creator, 8 on Growth) rather than unlimited. If a unified inbox and client reporting are the core of your workflow, weigh that carefully. If flat pricing, an API, and Telegram are what you want, PostFast is the cleaner switch. See the full PostFast vs Sendible comparison for the account-by-account math.

2. Best for the lowest agency entry price: SocialPilot

SocialPilot logo

The cheapest way into agency features, if you can live with per-user caps.

SocialPilot is the budget agency alternative to Sendible. On annual billing it runs Essentials $17/mo (5 accounts, 1 user), Standard $34/mo (10 accounts, 3 users, bulk scheduling, social inbox), Premium $85/mo (20 accounts, 6 users, client approvals, white-label reports), and Ultimate $170/mo (40 accounts, unlimited users). Every tier undercuts the Sendible tier with comparable capacity, and it covers 10 networks including X, Bluesky, and Google Business Profile.

Where SocialPilot beats Sendible: a much lower entry price, a built-in social inbox from Standard, white-label reports from Premium (versus Sendible's Elite-and-up add-on), and RSS automation. For a small agency that found Sendible's $30/mo Core too steep, SocialPilot Standard at $34/mo covers more accounts with a social inbox.

The catch is the mirror image of Sendible's strength: SocialPilot caps users per tier (1, 3, 6, then unlimited on Ultimate) and charges $5/mo per extra user, where Sendible includes unlimited users everywhere. SocialPilot's API is also Enterprise-only, and there is no Telegram. If unlimited seats matter more than price, Sendible wins; if price and a social inbox matter more, SocialPilot does. See PostFast vs SocialPilot for the flat-pricing angle.

Starting price
$17/mo (Essentials, annual)
Platforms
10 (incl. X, Bluesky, Google Business)

Standout
Cheapest agency entry with a social inbox and white-label reports

3. Best for agencies that lead with analytics and reporting: Metricool

Metricool logo

Deeper analytics than Sendible, with a genuine free tier.

Metricool is the pick for agencies where reporting is the deliverable. It is analytics-first, with competitor tracking (up to 100 profiles), ads reporting across Facebook, Google, and TikTok, and a Looker Studio connector on higher tiers. Pricing is per brand bracket on annual billing: Free ($0, 1 brand, 20 posts a month), Starter from $20/mo (up to 5 brands) to $36/mo (10 brands), Advanced from $53/mo (15 brands) up to $159/mo (50 brands). It covers 11 networks including Bluesky and Twitch.

Where Metricool beats Sendible: analytics depth, ads reporting, a genuine free tier, and per-brand pricing that suits agencies whose clients each connect only a few networks. Advanced adds team and client management, post approvals, and API access delivered through Zapier, Make, and an MCP server, which Sendible does not offer at all.

Where Sendible beats Metricool: a more mature inbox and client-approval workflow, and X included rather than a $5/mo add-on. Metricool has no Telegram either. If your reason for leaving Sendible is reporting, Metricool is the upgrade; if it is the inbox, look elsewhere. See PostFast vs Metricool for a flat-price option with an API on every plan.

Starting price
Free, then $20/mo (Starter, annual, up to 5 brands)
Platforms
11 (incl. Bluesky, Twitch, X as a paid add-on)
Free plan / trial

Standout
Competitor and ads analytics plus a real free tier

4. Best for teams that need structured editorial approvals: Loomly

Loomly logo

First-class approval workflows and calendar governance, with unlimited users on Beyond.

Loomly is the move when the editorial and approval workflow matters most. Starter is $49/mo on annual ($65 monthly) for 12 social accounts and 3 users, Beyond is $249/mo on annual ($332 monthly) for 60 accounts and unlimited users with custom branding, and Enterprise is custom for 61 accounts and up. Loomly publishes to 9 networks including Google Business Profile.

Where Loomly beats Sendible: a more structured approval workflow with statuses, revisions, and reviewer assignments, plus a content calendar in-house teams often prefer. Beyond includes custom branding rather than charging a white-label add-on. If your reason for leaving Sendible is that its review flow felt thin for a multi-stakeholder team, Loomly's governance is the upgrade.

Where Sendible beats Loomly: a much lower entry price ($30/mo Core versus Loomly's $49 Starter), unlimited users on every tier (Loomly only from Beyond at $249), and a mature social inbox Loomly does not match. Loomly also has no public API. Loomly is for teams that value the calendar and review flow over price or automation.

Starting price
$49/mo (Starter, annual)
Platforms
9 (incl. Google Business)
Free plan / trial
Free trial, no credit card
Standout
Structured approval workflows and calendar UX

5. Best for budget agencies who want per-account pricing and a free plan: Publer

Publer logo

The cheapest paid entry here, with an API on Business and a free plan.

Publer is the value option for a cost-conscious agency. It keeps a free plan (3 accounts, 10 queued posts per account, no X on free), and paid plans price per account from a low base: Professional from $4/mo on annual (1 account, $5 monthly) and Business from $8/mo on annual ($10 monthly), each adding accounts on top, with every 10th account free. Publer covers 13 platforms including Bluesky, Telegram, Mastodon, WordPress, and Google Business Profile, the broadest list in this comparison.

Where Publer beats Sendible: a far lower entry price, a free plan, Telegram and WordPress support, built-in AI caption and image tools, and a public REST API on the Business plan (Sendible has none). For an agency that wants cheap per-account scaling and does not need Sendible's inbox and client dashboards, Publer is a strong fit.

The trade-offs: Publer's client dashboards and white-label reporting are lighter than Sendible's, and the per-account model means cost grows with each connected account rather than being bundled. If client-facing reporting and a mature inbox are central to how you bill, Sendible earns its price; if budget and platform breadth matter more, Publer wins.

Starting price
Free, then $4/mo (Professional, annual, 1 account)
Platforms
13 (incl. Bluesky, Telegram, Mastodon, WordPress, Google Business)
Free plan / trial

Standout
Lowest paid entry price plus a public API on Business

6. Best for teams that want AI automation plus an API: FeedHive

FeedHive logo

Heavy AI credits and automation, with an API and MCP on the mid tiers.

FeedHive is the AI-forward alternative. Pricing is annual-billed per month: Creator 15 euros (4 accounts, 2,500 AI credits, 500 automation runs), Brand 22 euros (10 accounts, 5 workspaces), Business 69 euros (100 accounts, 50 workspaces, unlimited scheduling), and Agency 239 euros (500 accounts). It covers 10 networks.

Where FeedHive beats Sendible: much larger AI credit allowances, RSS and schedule-triggered automations, and a public REST API plus an official MCP Server on the Business and Agency tiers, none of which Sendible offers. For an agency that leans on AI drafting or wants an API at a mid-tier price, FeedHive fits, and its workspace counts scale for client work.

The trade-offs: no free plan, a short 7-day trial, and API plus MCP only on Business and above. FeedHive is lighter than Sendible on client-facing reporting and has no social inbox. If you want the API on every plan instead of only the top tiers, PostFast is the closer match; if AI automation volume is the priority, FeedHive leads here.

Starting price
€15/mo (Creator, annual)
Platforms
10 (X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Google Business, Discord)
Free plan / trial
7-day trial
Standout
Large AI credit allowances plus API and MCP on Business and above

7. Best for small teams that want a free plan and simplicity: Buffer

Buffer logo

A free plan Sendible has no answer to, plus an API on every tier.

Buffer is the pick if your team is small and you want a free plan and a simple tool. Buffer Free connects 3 channels with 10 queued posts per channel and now includes API access even on free (1 API key, 3,000 requests a month). Essentials is $5 per channel per month on annual ($6 monthly) with unlimited scheduling and advanced analytics, and Team is $10 per channel per month with unlimited users and approvals. Buffer covers 11 networks including Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads.

Where Buffer beats Sendible: a genuine free plan, a cleaner composer, and an API on every tier. For a solo operator or a two-person shop scheduling to a handful of channels, Buffer is far cheaper than Sendible Core and simpler to run.

Where Sendible beats Buffer: it is a proper agency tool. Buffer has no client dashboards, no social inbox at Sendible's level, and per-channel pricing that climbs past 6 or 7 channels (10 channels on Essentials is $50/mo). Buffer is the better tool for small, simple setups; Sendible pulls ahead once you need agency client features. See PostFast vs Buffer for the flat-price option.

Starting price
Free, then $5/channel/mo (Essentials, annual)
Platforms
11 (Bluesky, Facebook, Google Business, Instagram, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Pinterest, Threads, TikTok, X, YouTube)

How we evaluated

We compared every tool against Sendible on the axes agencies and small teams actually weigh: starting monthly price, number of supported platforms, public API availability, free-plan or trial terms, how users and client separation are handled, and the pricing model (flat per account versus per workspace and profile versus per channel versus per seat). Every price on this page was verified July 4, 2026 against each vendor's public pricing page, and where a vendor defaults to annual billing we list both the annual-equivalent and monthly numbers. We excluded tools we could not verify live and pure AI content generators that do not replace Sendible's publishing workflow. Each entry names where Sendible still wins so you can make a real decision.

How to choose the right alternative

Start with the single Sendible limit that pushed you to look.

If it is the entry price, Publer (from $4/mo on annual), PostFast (from 10 euros a month on annual), SocialPilot (from $17/mo annual), and Buffer all undercut Sendible Core ($30/mo), and Buffer, Publer, and Metricool have free plans Sendible does not.

If it is the lack of an API, your shortlist is PostFast (API and MCP on every plan), Publer Business, FeedHive Business, and Metricool Advanced. Sendible has no public API at any tier.

If it is missing Telegram, PostFast and Publer both support it; Sendible does not.

If it is the white-label add-on cost, PostFast includes workspace branding on Pro and Loomly Beyond includes custom branding, rather than charging extra as Sendible does on Elite and up.

If what you rely on is the Priority Inbox, client dashboards, and unlimited users, be careful: those are the things Sendible does well, and only SocialPilot and Metricool come close among these options. For the closest flat-price head-to-head, see the full PostFast vs Sendible comparison, and if you are also weighing the budget agency route, the SocialPilot alternatives guide covers that neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Sendible alternative?

It depends on the limit you hit. For flat pricing, an API on every plan, and Telegram support, PostFast is the cleanest one-tool replacement, starting at 10 euros a month on annual. For the lowest agency entry price with a social inbox, SocialPilot. For deeper analytics and reporting, Metricool. For structured editorial approvals, Loomly. For the cheapest per-account pricing with a free plan, Publer. Most teams leaving Sendible over price or the missing API land on PostFast or SocialPilot.

What is the cheapest Sendible alternative?

Publer has the lowest paid entry, from $4/mo on annual billing (Professional, 1 account, $5 monthly), and it keeps a free plan for 3 accounts. PostFast Starter is 10 euros a month on annual for 4 accounts flat, and SocialPilot Essentials is $17/mo annual. All three undercut Sendible Core ($30/mo annual). Buffer, Publer, and Metricool also have free plans, which Sendible does not offer.

Does Sendible charge per user?

No, not anymore. Sendible recently moved to unlimited users on every plan and now prices by workspace and social-profile count instead. That is a genuine advantage over tools that still cap seats. The trade-offs are elsewhere: the jumps between tiers are large, social profiles are capped per tier, white label is a paid add-on on Elite and Enterprise, there is no Telegram, and there is no public API. Alternatives like PostFast, SocialPilot, and Publer compete on flat or per-account pricing and on API access rather than on seat count.

Which Sendible alternative has an API?

Sendible does not offer a public API. Alternatives that do include PostFast (public REST API and MCP on every plan, including the trial), Publer (API on Business), FeedHive (API and MCP on Business and above), and Metricool (API on Advanced, via Zapier, Make, and MCP). If programmatic publishing is the reason you are switching, PostFast is the only option here that puts the API on every tier.

Which Sendible alternative is best for agencies?

For agencies, PostFast Growth (40 euros a month on annual, 30 accounts, 10 workspaces, 8 users per workspace, an API on every plan, and workspace branding on Pro) gives strong flat-priced capacity. SocialPilot is the cheapest route into agency features with a social inbox. Metricool leads on client reporting and analytics. Sendible itself remains strong on its Priority Inbox and unlimited users, so weigh which agency features you actually use before switching.

How does Sendible compare to SocialPilot and Sprout Social?

SocialPilot is cheaper than Sendible at entry ($17/mo annual versus $30/mo) but caps users per tier, where Sendible includes unlimited users. Sprout Social is far more expensive (per seat, from $199 per seat per month on annual) and only worth it if you need its social listening and CRM depth. Sendible sits in the middle: more affordable than Sprout for multi-user teams, more feature-complete than SocialPilot on the inbox, but pricier at entry and without an API. If you want unlimited users plus an API without an Enterprise upsell, a flat tool like PostFast is usually the better value.
