8 Sendible Alternatives 2026 (Free & Paid)

Sendible charges per workspace: Core costs $35 a month for one workspace of 6 profiles, Plus costs $99 for 18 profiles, and every plan includes unlimited users. Pubblica charges one flat $20 a month for unlimited accounts on all 9 networks, X included. For one person with 15 accounts, that's $20 a month instead of $99 on Sendible Plus, or $84 a month billed yearly.

This list covers 8 Sendible alternatives, from free schedulers to customer care suites. We make Pubblica, so it comes first. Each entry names what the tool is built for and takes prices from the vendor's official pricing page. For Sendible's own plans and workspaces, see Sendible pricing.

What to look for in a Sendible alternative

• The unit you pay for. Sendible bills per workspace of 6 profiles: Core covers one workspace, and Plus covers three for 18 profiles. The others bill per user (Hootsuite, Sprout Social), per channel (Buffer), by profile tier (Vista Social), per brand (Metricool), per social set (Later), per account (Publer) or one flat price (Pubblica). Choose the unit that grows slowest as you add accounts.
• A free plan or a trial. The free alternatives to Sendible are Pubblica, Buffer, Publer and Metricool; Sendible has no free plan, only a 14-day trial without a card.
• Pinterest and Telegram. Sendible publishes to 10 networks, and Pinterest and Telegram aren't among them. Check that every network you post to is covered.
• Seats for your team. Sendible includes unlimited users on every plan, so adding people doesn't change the bill. Hootsuite and Sprout Social add a seat for each person. For one person or a small team, the price per account matters more than seats.
• Tools beyond publishing. Sendible adds an inbox, approvals, client reports and Client Connect. If your agency uses them every day, look at the suites in this list; if you mainly publish, a scheduler covers it.

Pubblica: best for posting to many accounts at a flat price

Pubblica is best for posting to many accounts at a flat price because Pro costs $20 a month for unlimited accounts on all 9 networks. It's a social media scheduler for creators, freelancers, social media managers and small teams. You write a post once and publish it to every selected account, right away or at the time you set, and a calendar shows what's planned.

• Price: Free costs $0 and includes 20 posts a month on every network except X, with no card. Pro adds unlimited posts and X.
• Accounts: unlimited on both plans, including several accounts on the same network. Workspaces group them by brand or project.
• Networks: X is part of Pro with no add-on fee, and Pinterest and Telegram are supported on both plans.
• Trial and refunds: Pro has a 7-day free trial, which needs a card, and a 14-day money-back guarantee on payments.

Pubblica suits people who post the same content to many accounts and want the bill to stay the same as they add more.

Hootsuite: best for larger teams with an inbox and monitoring

Hootsuite is best for larger teams because its Standard plan includes 10 social accounts, an inbox, brand monitoring and AI tools. It bills per user, from $99 per user/mo, billed yearly, and offers a trial of 14 days, no card.

Hootsuite has no free plan, and each person on the team adds a seat to the bill. See Hootsuite pricing.

Buffer: best for a few channels on a free plan

Buffer is best for a few channels because its free plan covers 3 channels, and paid plans bill per channel from $6 per channel/mo. It supports 12 networks, and you can try a paid plan free for 14 days.

When you upgrade, every connected channel is billed, including the ones from the free plan. See Buffer pricing.

Vista Social: best for an inbox, reviews and DM automations in one plan

Vista Social is best for teams that want an inbox, review replies and DM automations in one plan, because every plan bundles them with scheduling. Plans start at $99/mo for 15 profiles and 2 users, and the trial lasts 14 days, no card.

Vista Social bills by plan, with set profile and user caps, and X (Twitter) is a $29 a month add-on. See Vista Social pricing.

Metricool: best for analytics across brands

Metricool is best for analytics across brands because it combines scheduling with analytics for social profiles, websites and ad accounts in one report. Paid plans start at $25/mo for 5 brands, and the free plan covers 1 brand, 20 posts/mo in place of a trial.

Metricool bills per brand. A brand holds one profile per network, so a second account on the same network counts as another brand, and X (Twitter) is a paid add-on. See Metricool pricing.

Sprout Social: best for social customer care and reporting

Sprout Social is best for social customer care and reporting because, from Standard up, its plans add a consolidated inbox and review management, and Professional adds competitor insights. It bills per user, from $79 per user/mo, billed yearly with 5 profiles on Essentials, and the free trial lasts 30 days, no card.

Professional and Advanced have no profile cap, and listening is an add-on priced on request. See Sprout Social pricing.

Later: best for visual planning on Instagram and TikTok

Later is best for visual planning on Instagram and TikTok because it's built around a visual calendar and Link in Bio. Plans start at $18.75/mo, billed yearly for one social set, which holds one profile on each of 8 networks, and the free trial lasts 14 days and needs a card.

Later lists no free plan on its pricing page. Starter includes 1 user and 30 posts per profile a month. See Later pricing.

Publer: best for per-account pricing with Telegram

Publer is best for per-account pricing with Telegram: it bills per social account, with paid plans from $5 per account/mo and a free plan for 3 accounts, no X. It supports 13 networks, Telegram groups and channels among them, and bulk scheduling of up to 500 posts at once.

The paid trial lasts 7 days. Publer bills each account separately, so the monthly price rises with every profile you connect. See Publer's plans and our list of Publer alternatives.

Is Sendible good? Ratings and who it suits

Sendible is best for agencies and multi-brand teams, because every plan includes unlimited users and Client Connect, and from Plus up, task assignment and approvals. It holds a 4.6 out of 5 rating on Capterra from 137 reviews and 4.3 on Trustpilot from 25. In reviews, users most often point to its unlimited users, simple interface, approvals and human support.

Sendible was founded in London in 2009 and says more than 30,000 marketers use it. Premium adds content libraries and branded reports, and Elite and Enterprise offer white label as a paid extra. It publishes to 10 networks, including Google Business Profile, Bluesky and WordPress. See About Sendible.

How to switch from Sendible to Pubblica

Switching takes four steps, and the Free plan lets you run both tools until Sendible's last scheduled post goes out.

1. Create a free account. The Free plan needs no card.
2. Connect your accounts. Sign in to each network through its own login. Pubblica never sees your passwords, and you can connect as many accounts as you need.
3. Add your upcoming posts. Write each post once, pick the accounts and set the date and time.
4. Cancel Sendible after its last scheduled post goes out. Standard plans have no contract and can be cancelled at any time, and Sendible publishes no refund terms, so time the switch before your renewal date.
