Why do teams look for Agorapulse alternatives?
One dashboard rolls reach, engagement, and growth up across every account and network — instead of stitching native dashboards together.
Agorapulse’s inbox is strong, but it charges per user and caps every published plan at 10 profiles, bulk scheduling starts on Advanced, and multi-step approvals sit on the quote-only Custom plan. SkedCast includes seats, bulk import on every plan, approval chains from Studio, and an inbox for comments, messages, mentions and Google reviews on every plan.
How do you switch from Agorapulse to SkedCast?
- Export your Publishing Calendar as CSVIn the left navigation choose Calendar, select Month view, then Export (top right). Pick the profiles and the date range, optionally filter by post type, status (all selected by default) and label, then Export. Media come out as URLs, not files.
- Bulk-import the CSV into SkedCastUpload the CSV to SkedCast’s bulk import. Every row is validated against the platform it targets, so a bad row is fixed in the import instead of failing at publish time.
- Reconnect each accountConnect each social account in SkedCast through its own official sign-in. Group accounts by client if you manage several.
- Rebuild any inbox-based workflows separatelySkedCast has its own inbox for comments, messages, mentions and Google reviews. Agorapulse’s conversation history does not move across, so set up saved replies and rules again in SkedCast.
- Cancel Agorapulse once every post is confirmed liveThe organization owner cancels from Subscription settings (bottom of the page): Cancel subscription, or Cancel trial if you are on one. Confirm every post is live and correct in SkedCast first, since removing a profile deletes its scheduled posts and Agorapulse’s help does not say whether queued posts publish after the plan ends.
