How to choose a social media scheduler as a social media manager

• A separate space per client, so a post can't land on the wrong account.
• Client access without passwords: the client connects their own accounts.
• A price per client, not per channel, so adding a platform doesn't raise the bill.
• Seats for everyone who posts: you, a helper, and sometimes the client.
• Alerts you can trust: you hear about a post that didn't go out before the client does.

Tiers and caps look fine at 3 clients. They bite at 15, when a profile limit, a seat limit, or a new plan shows up and you have to reprice your clients or eat the difference. Before you pick a tool, ask two questions: what happens to my bill at client 11, and at client 31? A price per client with nothing else attached answers both in one line.

• Per channel: every connected account adds to the bill, often $5 to $10 each. It grows fast when each client is on several platforms.
• Per seat: roughly $79 to $99 or more per person each month, before any caps.
• Per client, in tiers: a set number of clients and people per plan, with a new plan (or a custom quote) when you pass the limit.
• Per client, flat: one price per client with people included. That's Unbusied: $33 each, at any size.

• 3 clients: $99 a month.
• 10 clients: $330 a month.
• 40 clients: $1,320 a month.

Every one of those includes you, your helpers, and the client's own people (up to 5 per Social Set), every platform, and unlimited posts except X posts with links (30 a month per client). No tier to cross, no seat to add, no call to sales.

• Every client is a Social Set, with its own calendar, posts, and people, all in one account and a click apart.
• Clients connect from a Client Link. They tap Connect and sign in to each platform; you never see a password.
• Clients can post too, as one of the 5 people in their Set, at no extra cost.
• Comment roundups email the client a daily or weekly count of new comments, even if they never log in.
• Failure emails name the platform and the reason if a post doesn't go out, with a one-tap retry.
