Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Agorapulse
One inbox for every comment and message
Agorapulse treats the social inbox as the main job and scheduling as the thing you do around it. Comments, ad comments, mentions and messages land in one queue that can be assigned, answered and closed, which is the difference between a team of two and a person with eleven tabs open. Reporting is the other half, and it is built to be sent to somebody who did not do the work. Pricing is per user, so the size of the team is what decides the bill.

Planoly
Plan the grid before anything is posted
Planoly started as a visual planner for Instagram and still leads with the thing that made it: drag posts around a mock grid until the feed looks right, then schedule from there. Pinterest and TikTok came later and the link in bio is included rather than sold separately. Pricing is by social set and by user, both of which can be added one at a time, which suits somebody running two accounts rather than twenty.
Our note
Count your social sets and users before comparing tiers, since the per-unit add-ons are where this quietly gets expensive. If the grid preview is not the thing you want, a general scheduler will cover the rest for less.
