Who should pick which?

Metricool
Stay on Metricool if you want to start free and keep reporting next to publishing: it has a free plan with 1 brand and up to 20 posts per month[1], analytics history of 30 days on Free; unlimited on paid plans[45], and MCP access on any plan, including Free[37]. It is priced per plan, by number of brands[4].
Aidelly
Pick Aidelly if you run client brands with a team: it gives one workspace per brand or client[46], is priced per plan, with team members included (up to 8 on Scale, unlimited on Agency)[5], and adds a magic link clients use to review and approve posts without logging in[47], available as client approval links on the Agency plan[48].
Iconosquare
Pick Iconosquare if reporting is the main job: it has white-label reports with your logo and no Iconosquare watermark[29], profile reports that download as PDF or XLS[49], and competitor, hashtag and industry trend monitoring on Scale[50].
Zoho Social
Pick Zoho Social if you want a free plan with 1 brand of 6 channels[51], a listening dashboard for reviews, @mentions and keywords[52], and flat plans sized by brands or clients rather than per user[7].
Buffer
Pick Buffer if you mainly queue posts on your own and want a free plan for up to 3 channels[53] and MCP access on every plan, including Free[41].

How do you move from Metricool to Aidelly?

  1. No export of scheduled posts is documented in Metricool's help center. API data export: Metrics and comments via the API (Advanced and Custom)[54]. List what is planned in Metricool and plan to recreate those posts in Aidelly. Scheduled-post export: Not listed on help.metricool.com as of 2026-10-15[55].
  2. In Aidelly, set up one workspace per brand or client[46], one for each Metricool brand; plans include 2 workspaces on Launch, 8 on Scale and unlimited on Agency[14].
  3. Connect each profile in its workspace, or send the client a connect link that lets clients connect their own accounts[56], available as client connect links on the Agency plan[57].
  4. To recreate many posts at once, put them in a CSV and load it with Bulk Fill, which turns a CSV into posts and schedules them after a preview[58]. That needs bulk content creation on the Scale and Agency plans[44], and the CSV header row has to match Aidelly's template exactly[59]. On Launch, bulk content creation is not included[60], so recreate the posts by hand.
  5. If you sent posts for review in Metricool, turn on Team Approvals, a workspace switch that holds members' posts until an owner or admin approves them[61], available as team approvals on the Scale and Agency plans[23]. For clients, add a magic link clients use to review and approve posts without logging in[47], available as client approval links on the Agency plan[48].
  6. Run both tools until the first Aidelly posts have published, then move Metricool to its free plan or cancel it. Keep it if you still use it for reporting.

What Metricool does better

Metricool is easier to try. It has a free plan with 1 brand and up to 20 posts per month[1], keeps analytics for 30 days on Free; unlimited on paid plans[45], and gives MCP access on any plan, including Free[37], where Aidelly has MCP access on the Launch, Scale and Agency plans[62]. It also has API access on the Advanced and Custom plans[32] and an inbox for reading and replying to messages and comments[63]. If you manage one brand and mostly want reporting, Metricool is likely the better fit.

Questions about switching?

How much does Metricool cost compared with Aidelly?

Metricool is priced per plan, by number of brands[4], and starts with a free plan with 1 brand and up to 20 posts per month[1]; paid plans are listed from $20/month billed annually for up to 5 brands on Starter[9], up to $159/month for up to 50 brands on Advanced, billing period not stated on the page[64]. Aidelly starts at $29/mo billed annually on Launch, or $39/mo billed monthly[3]; its top self-serve plan costs $279/mo billed annually on Agency, or $349/mo billed monthly[65].

Can I move my planned Metricool posts to Aidelly?

Not as a file. Metricool's help center documents no export of scheduled posts, so recreate the posts. API data export: Metrics and comments via the API (Advanced and Custom)[54]. To load many at once, use Bulk Fill, which turns a CSV into posts and schedules them after a preview[58]. That needs bulk content creation on the Scale and Agency plans[44].

Do Metricool and Aidelly both have MCP?

Yes. Metricool gives MCP access on any plan, including Free[37]. Aidelly has a hosted MCP server that exposes the full public API as tools[38], with MCP access on the Launch, Scale and Agency plans[62].

Can Metricool or Aidelly be white-labeled for clients?

Both, on their top plans. Metricool lists white label on the Custom plan only[27]. Aidelly lists white-label on the Agency plan only[28], which costs $279/mo billed annually on Agency, or $349/mo billed monthly[65], and adds white-labeled PDF reports on the Agency plan, 500/mo (expandable)[66].

    “Per plan, with team members on Scale (Up to 8) and Agency (Unlimited)”

    Read from the plan table on the Aidelly pricing page.

  6. [6] Iconosquare prices each plan by the number of social profiles, with a price step for each bundle of profiles.

    https://www.iconosquare.com/plans-and-pricing, accessed 2026-10-15

    “Up to 5 profiles for € 69 /month Up to 10 profiles for € 119 /month Up to 15 profiles for € 169 /month Up to 20 profiles for € 219 /month”

    This is the Scale plan card. Starter lists "Up to 3 profiles for € 9 /month Up to 5 profiles for € 15 /month".

  7. [7] Zoho Social describes its pricing as one flat plan with every teammate included and no per-user penalty, and sizes its plans by brands (or clients) and channels.

    https://www.zoho.com/social/pricing.html, accessed 2026-10-15

    “One flat plan. Every teammate included. No per-user penalty for growing”

    The same page caps team members per plan (see seats-limit) and sells extra Team Members as add-ons, so "every teammate included" is the page's wording, not a statement that seats are unlimited.

  8. [8] Buffer bills per connected channel.

    https://buffer.com/pricing, accessed 2026-10-15

    “You're billed per channel, so you only pay for the accounts you actually manage.”

  9. [9] Metricool Starter is from $20/month for up to 5 brands on annual billing.

    https://metricool.com/pricing/, accessed 2026-10-15

    “Up to 5 brands for $20/month Up to 10 brands for $36/month”

    The page has an Annual (save up to 24%) / Monthly toggle and one list per currency; the first USD list is quoted here, and the text does not say which billing period each list is. First USD list: Starter "From $20/month", $20/month for up to 5 brands, $36/month for up to 10. Second USD list: Starter "From $25/month". The first list sits next to the default "Annual (save up to 24%)" toggle, so $20 is most likely the annual-billed figure and $25 the monthly-billed one, but no page text ties either list to a period, so the value says the billing period is not stated. URL read: https://metricool.com/pricing/ (200).

  10. [10] Iconosquare Starter starts at 9 euros per month billed yearly, in the euro prices our fetch received.

    https://www.iconosquare.com/plans-and-pricing, accessed 2026-10-15

    “Starter Create and publish content From € 9 /month Billed yearly (Save € 36 /year)”

    The page shows regional currency; our fetch received euros. The same page lists the Free plan separately (see free-plan). The structured data lists USD figures, see iconosquare-usd-start-price.

  11. [11] Zoho Social Standard is 15 per month billed monthly, or 10 per month billed yearly, in USD.

    https://www.zoho.com/social/pricing.html, accessed 2026-10-15

    “"currencyOrder": "USD;OLDUSD;EURTR;INR;EUR;CAD;GBP;JPYOLD;JPY;SGD;AUD;AED;SAR;MXN;ZAR;NGN;KES;EGP;IDR;BRL;NZD;MYR;USDAFRICA", "priceSets": [ { "setId": "zplan-standard", "priceValue": "15;15;15;900;15;19;12;1800;2120;20;21;55;55;270;210;11550;1350;525;207000;94;24;60;10//10;10;7.5;600;”

    The price cards on the pricing page are empty in the raw HTML and are filled in by script from social-pricing-val.json. The quote is from that file. Its `currencyOrder` starts with USD, and each value list follows that order, so the first value is the USD price; the `-monthly` and `-yearly` set ids hold the billed-monthly and per-month-billed-yearly lists, and the plain set id holds "monthly//yearly". The pricing page toggle reads "Monthly Yearly Yearly - Save 33%". Tried https://www.zoho.com/social/pricing.html (200) and the JSON above (200). A Free plan is also listed (see free-plan), so Standard is the cheapest paid plan.

  12. [12] Buffer Essentials is $5 per channel per month billed yearly, or $60 a year per channel.

    https://buffer.com/pricing, accessed 2026-10-15

    “Essentials Recommended $5 /month 1 channel · $ 60 billed yearly (save 2 months)”

  13. [13] Metricool allows 1 brand on Free, up to 5 or 10 on Starter, and up to 15, 25 or 50 on Advanced.

    “Plan Brands Free 1 brand Starter Up to 5 or up to 10 brands, depending on the option you choose Advanced Up to 15, 25, or 50 brands, depending on the option you choose Custom Starting at 50+ brands”

    The same article says each brand connects 1 profile per social network.

  14. [14] Aidelly limits workspaces per plan.

    “Collaborate and optimize strategy From € 69 /month Billed yearly (Save € 168 /year) Start 14-day free trial Up to 20 social profiles 3 users Unlimited posts”

    Other plans on the same page: Free up to 2 profiles, Starter and Launch up to 5, Custom "5 to unlimited social profiles". The FAQ also says extra profiles can be bought on Scale and Custom.

  16. [16] Zoho Social lists 1 brand on the Free, Standard, Professional and Premium plans, 10 on Agency and 20 on Agency Plus; a brand is one set of all the social channels a plan covers.

  17. [17] Buffer charges per channel rather than per brand, so you connect as many channels as you pay for.
