CoSchedule for agencies: is it a fit?
CoSchedule for agencies works well for some teams and less well for others, depending on client count and how the bill scales. Here is what to weigh, and how SkedCast compares on the same questions.
CoSchedule’s calendar is a strength for teams planning campaigns beyond social. As a team grows, though, the bill grows in three directions: users are capped at 1 on Starter and 3 on Professional, every profile beyond the plan’s count is $5 a month, and every X profile is $16. SkedCast includes seats and profiles in the plan price, with approvals, client workspaces and bulk import.
What does CoSchedule offer agencies?
- A marketing calendar that plans campaigns and content, not just social posts
- White labeling and client calendars on its Professional plan
- A free plan for one profile, with up to 15 posts scheduled at a time
