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.
Metricool
Scheduling and analytics across brands
Metricool schedules to most of the networks a creator uses and then reports on what happened, including competitor tracking and paid campaign numbers in the same view. Pricing counts brands rather than seats, which suits somebody running several accounts. The free plan schedules 20 posts a month, enough to decide whether the reports are worth paying for.
Our note
Twenty scheduled posts a month on the free plan lasts a single creator a long time. Against Later the pricing is per brand rather than per social set, which is why it scales better across clients and gives less to somebody managing one account closely.

SocialPilot
Bulk scheduling across many client accounts
SocialPilot is built around the case where one person posts for ten brands rather than for one. Bulk upload takes a spreadsheet of hundreds of posts at once, client management keeps each account's approvals apart, and the reports go out under an agency's own name rather than the tool's. A solo creator will find that more machinery than the job needs. Anybody who has started posting on behalf of other people is the reader it was priced for, and extra accounts are billed separately from extra seats.
