Who should pick which?

Sprout Social
Stay on Sprout Social if listening, a shared inbox and formal approvals are central to a larger team: it offers listening as an add-on from Standard up[49], an approval workflow on Professional and external approvers on Advanced[25], and a shared inbox. Inbox: Consolidated inbox from Standard[54]. Budget for each seat, since pricing is per seat per month[4].
Aidelly
Pick Aidelly if seat count is what makes Sprout Social expensive for you: it is priced per plan, with team members included (up to 8 on Scale, unlimited on Agency)[2], with one workspace per brand or client[55] and client approval links on the Agency plan[56].
Hootsuite
Pick Hootsuite if you want listening inside a plan instead of as an add-on: it includes 30-day conversation search and 90-day trend forecasts on Professional[57]. It is priced per user per month, billed annually[5], so the seat question stays.
Agorapulse
Pick Agorapulse if you want a per-user tool close to Sprout Social at $79 per user per month billed annually, or $99 billed monthly[10], with an all-in-one inbox for comments, DMs and reviews[58] and an MCP connector in beta that is open to all plans except Legacy[59].
Vista Social
Pick Vista Social if you want flat plans with included social profiles and users[7], listening that is free on your own profiles and from $75 a month across social, web and news[60], and an MCP server with 100+ tools[47]. It costs $99 a month billed monthly, or $950 a year billed yearly[11].
Sendible
Pick Sendible if you want unlimited users on every plan[24] and a paid white-label add-on on Elite and Enterprise[36]. Check the API first: Not listed on sendible.com/pricing as of 2026-10-15[42].

How do you move from Sprout Social to Aidelly?

  1. In Sprout Social, save a PDF download of the Publishing Calendar[50] and use it as your checklist of everything scheduled. It is a PDF, not a file Aidelly can import, so plan to recreate those posts in Aidelly.
  2. In Aidelly, set up one workspace per brand or client[55]; plans include 2 workspaces on Launch, 8 on Scale and unlimited on Agency[14]. If several people will log in, check seats before you choose a plan. Team members: Launch Not included, Scale Up to 8, Agency Unlimited[20].
  3. Connect each profile in its workspace, or send the client a connect link that lets clients connect their own accounts[61], available as client connect links on the Agency plan[62].
  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[63]. That needs bulk content creation on the Scale and Agency plans[53], and the CSV header row has to match Aidelly's template exactly[64]. On Launch, bulk content creation is not included[65], so recreate the posts by hand.
  5. Rebuild your Sprout Social approval flow: turn on Team Approvals, a workspace switch that holds members' posts until an owner or admin approves them[66], available as team approvals on the Scale and Agency plans[26]. For outside approvers, add a magic link clients use to review and approve posts without logging in[67], available as client approval links on the Agency plan[56].
  6. Run both tools until the first Aidelly posts have published and your reports look right, then reduce or cancel your Sprout Social seats.

What Sprout Social does better

Sprout Social goes deeper on listening and team workflow. It offers listening as an add-on from Standard up[49], an approval workflow on Professional and external approvers on Advanced[25] and the Sprout API on Advanced[37]. Shared inbox: Consolidated inbox from Standard[54]. Reports can carry custom report branding on Professional, Advanced and Enterprise[31]. Trial: 30-day trial, no credit card[68]. If listening and external approvers are why you chose Sprout Social, those are reasons to stay.

Questions about switching?

How does Sprout Social pricing compare with Aidelly?

Sprout Social is priced per seat per month[4], from $79/seat/month ($99 billed monthly)[1] up to $399/seat/month (Advanced)[69]. Aidelly is priced per plan, with team members included (up to 8 on Scale, unlimited on Agency)[2], from $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[70].

Does Sprout Social have an MCP server like Aidelly?

Sprout Social MCP: ChatGPT only, for TikTok post insights[43]. Aidelly has a hosted MCP server that exposes the full public API as tools[44], with MCP access on the Launch, Scale and Agency plans[71].

Can I move my scheduled Sprout Social posts to Aidelly?

Not as an import. Sprout Social offers a PDF download of the Publishing Calendar[50], which works as a checklist but not as a file to load, and the Aidelly docs describe no Sprout Social importer, so plan to recreate the posts. To load many at once, put them in a CSV and use Bulk Fill, which turns a CSV into posts and schedules them after a preview[63]. That needs bulk content creation on the Scale and Agency plans[53].

Does Aidelly have social listening like Sprout Social?

No listening feature is described in the Aidelly docs. Sprout Social offers listening as an add-on from Standard up[49], so if you rely on it, keep a listening tool alongside Aidelly.

    https://vistasocial.com/integrations/mcp/, accessed 2026-10-23

    “Vista Social MCP plugs into Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT and more, exposing 100+ tools for scheduling, analytics, inbox, ideas, media and reporting, so your AI can do the work for you.”

    Re-read 2026-10-23: the page now says 100+ tools (it said 50+ on 2026-10-15). The pricing page comparison table has an MCP row under Integrations; its plan flags are not readable as text. Plan placement is in vista-social-mcp-plans. The MCP page says "Free trial available".

  48. [48] An MCP server is not listed on the Sendible pricing page.

    Checked; the page does not state this. Tried https://www.sendible.com/pricing (200): "MCP" does not appear. A web search on 2026-10-15 found only a Zapier-hosted MCP connection, no sendible.com page.

    The public help centre https://support.sproutsocial.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000121343-How-do-I-use-the-Publishing-Calendar is behind Cloudflare (https://support.sproutsocial.com/hc/en-us returned 403), so the text was read from Sprout's own Help Center API https://support.sproutsocial.com/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360000121343.json (200). A second article, https://support.sproutsocial.com/hc/en-us/articles/38373940164877-Troubleshooting-Sprout-Social-Publishing-Calendar-Issues (read via the same API, 200), describes exporting the calendar: the List view "Shows a detailed, post-by-post list including scheduled, queued, and sent messages". Its file format is not stated there. No CSV export of scheduled posts was found among the 623 articles of the Help Center API. Report exports (CSV or PDF, for example the Post Performance Report) are analytics, not post exports.
