Publer vs Sendible Comparison 2026
Publer prices by social account rather than by seat, with every tenth account free, free forever for light use and then $5 a month per account, or $4 annually. Sendible prices closer to per seat, Creator at $35 a month for one user and a handful of profiles, with no free tier, but adds something Publer does not: a client approval step, where a draft routes to somebody outside the team who signs off before it publishes. Publer suits a creator or small team managing many of their own accounts cheaply; Sendible suits an agency whose clients need to see and approve a post before it goes live.

Publer
Scheduling priced per account, not per seat
Publer schedules to most of the networks a creator actually posts on and prices by social account rather than by seat, with every tenth account free. Recycling and auto-scheduling matter more than the calendar view for anyone running an archive of evergreen posts. The free plan is a real one, with the caveat that it will not connect X and keeps published posts for a day. Paid plans add the workspace, the bulk tools and unlimited scheduling.
Our note
Work out your account count first, because that is what the bill scales on and it is where this beats the per-seat tools. If X is central to what you post, note that it needs a paid plan here for reasons Publer attributes to the network's own API cost.

Sendible
Scheduling with a client approval step built in
Sendible sits where an agency needs somebody outside the tool to sign off before a post goes out. Drafts route to a client, the client approves or comments, and only then does it publish, which is the workflow that keeps freelancers off email threads about a caption. The daily posting limit is per user and stated on every plan, so read that number before the price. It covers the usual networks and states which account types work on each.
Why people weigh these two
- Sendible instead of Publer
- Sendible adds a client approval step before a post goes out, built for an agency posting on behalf of others rather than one account holder.
- Publer instead of Sendible
- Publer from $5 with a free tier prices per account rather than per seat, cheaper for one person running many profiles.
Which one should you pick
Pick Publer if you are managing a lot of your own social accounts on a small budget, where per-seat pricing elsewhere stops making sense. The free plan is real, and Professional is $5 a month per account, or $4 annually, with every tenth account free automatically.
Pick Sendible if clients need to approve a post before it publishes and you bill for a monthly report at the end. Creator is $35 a month for one user, with no free tier, but check the daily posting limit and profile count on the plan you are considering before the price, since those are what force the upgrade rather than any missing feature.
Common questions
- Which is cheaper, Publer or Sendible?
- Publer, for most creators: it has a real free plan and charges $5 a month per social account after that. Sendible has no free tier, starting at $35 a month for a single user managing a handful of profiles.
- Does Publer have a client approval workflow like Sendible's?
- No, that is not described among Publer's features. Sendible's client approval step, where a draft needs sign-off from somebody outside the team before publishing, is built specifically for agencies.
- Which is priced by account and which by seat?
- Publer prices by social account, so a person managing many accounts pays less than per-seat pricing would charge. Sendible's Creator plan covers one user, closer to per-seat pricing, and a second person on the team likely means a higher tier.
- What should I check before picking a Sendible plan?
- The daily posting limit and the profile count stated on each plan, since those decide when an upgrade is forced rather than any specific missing feature. Publer's limits are more about which account count crosses into the next pricing tier automatically.
