Who should pick which?

Lately
Stay on Lately if it feeds a publishing tool you already pay for: it supports sending content to Hootsuite, Sprinklr or HubSpot for publishing[54], and its analytics give an engagement overview and a top post, channel and author synopsis[55]. It starts at $14 per month billed annually on Starter[1].
Aidelly
Pick Aidelly if you want to publish, reply and approve in one place: it publishes to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Google Business Profile and Mastodon[56], with a unified inbox on the Launch, Scale and Agency plans[57] and team approvals on the Scale and Agency plans[26].
Hootsuite
Pick Hootsuite if you need listening and an inbox next to publishing: it has 30-day conversation search and 90-day trend forecasts on Professional[58] and a unified inbox from Standard up[59], priced per user per month, billed annually[5].
Sprinklr
Pick Sprinklr if you are a large brand that needs governance: it has automated approvals with role-based access and audit trails[28] and real-time insights from millions of data sources[60]. Entry price: Not publicly listed[10].
quso.ai

How do you move from Lately to Aidelly?

  1. In Lately, list every post that is still queued. No export of scheduled posts is listed on the Lately pages read, so recreate those posts in Aidelly. Export: Not listed on lately.ai/pricing as of 2026-10-15[63]. If Lately sends your content to a publishing tool, check that tool for queued posts too.
  2. In Aidelly, set up one workspace per brand or client[64]; plans include 2 workspaces on Launch, 8 on Scale and unlimited on Agency[14].
  3. Connect each social account in its workspace, or send the client a connect link that lets clients connect their own accounts[65], available as client connect links on the Agency plan[66].
  4. If you rebuild the queued posts in a spreadsheet, load them with Bulk Fill, which turns a CSV into posts and schedules them after a preview[67]. That needs bulk content creation on the Scale and Agency plans[53], and the CSV header row has to match Aidelly's template exactly[68]. On Launch, bulk content creation is not included[69], so recreate the posts by hand.
  5. Before the team starts scheduling, turn on Team Approvals, a workspace switch that holds members' posts until an owner or admin approves them[70], available as team approvals on the Scale and Agency plans[26]. For clients, add a magic link clients use to review and approve posts without logging in[71], available as client approval links on the Agency plan[72].
  6. Run both tools until the first Aidelly posts have published, then cancel Lately.

What Lately does better

Lately is built to sit in front of other publishing tools: it supports sending content to Hootsuite, Sprinklr or HubSpot for publishing[54]. Its analytics give an engagement overview and a top post, channel and author synopsis[55], and it lists unlimited user seats on Enterprise[19]. Its entry plan is also cheaper, at $14 per month billed annually on Starter[1], against Aidelly at $29/mo billed annually on Launch, or $39/mo billed monthly[2]. If your team already publishes through Hootsuite, Sprinklr or HubSpot and wants Lately only for the content, staying is the simpler choice.

    The subscription-plans help article (https://quso.ai/help/subscription-plans, 200) says the Lite plan has "Only Tiktok Publishing & Schduling" and Free has "No Social Media Account Connections", so what each plan can connect differs from this general statement.

  18. [18] Buffer charges per channel rather than per brand, so you connect as many channels as you pay for.
