SkedCast vs HeyOrca: which fits agencies?
HeyOrca is built for agencies and it shows: pricing is per workspace rather than per user, every paid plan includes unlimited users, and clients can approve posts without logging in. Reviewers consistently rate its ease of use and support highly. Where the two differ is how the bill grows — HeyOrca charges per client calendar, SkedCast by connected accounts — and what each is built around: HeyOrca bundles an inbox and listening, SkedCast bulk import.
Where HeyOrca shines
- Unlimited users on every paid plan, so adding teammates never raises the bill
- Clients approve or reject posts without logging in
- A social inbox and social listening, included on Pro and available as add-ons on Basic — SkedCast has neither
- A genuinely free plan, plus a two-week trial of Pro
- Google Business Profile support, which SkedCast does not offer
Where SkedCast fits better
- True bulk import — up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency — from CSV, Google Sheets or AI, validated and fixed inline
- Pricing that scales with connected accounts, not with client count — HeyOrca prices each client calendar separately
- Up to 500 connected accounts per agency, against 10 social profiles per HeyOrca workspace before extra-profile fees
- Compose once and fan a post out across a whole client roster in one action
- Bluesky and Telegram among 10 supported networks
- Anti-ban pacing with per-account cadence, and a managed app pool with no developer setup

Why teams switch from HeyOrca
One dashboard rolls reach, engagement, and growth up across every account and network — instead of stitching native dashboards together.
HeyOrca’s model is excellent value while an agency runs a handful of clients: unlimited users and a clean approval flow per calendar. It inverts with growth, because each client is another workspace — Basic is $59 and Pro $149 per calendar per month, with a discount from five calendars — and each includes 10 profiles before extra-profile fees. SkedCast prices by connected accounts, so client count does not multiply the bill. If an inbox and listening are central to your service and your client list is small, HeyOrca is a defensible choice.
SkedCast vs HeyOrca: FAQ
- Is HeyOrca priced per user or per client?
- Per workspace, and a workspace is typically one client. Paid plans include unlimited users: Basic is $59 and Pro $149 per workspace per month, with extra profiles beyond 10 at $10 each and a 40% discount from five workspaces. SkedCast prices by connected accounts instead. Prices as of September 2026.
- Does HeyOrca have a free plan?
- Yes — one user, two social profiles and 15 posts a month, which also unlocks a two-week trial of Pro. SkedCast also has a permanent free plan.
- Does SkedCast have a social inbox or listening like HeyOrca?
- No. SkedCast has neither; it is built around scheduling, bulk import, fan-out and analytics. HeyOrca includes both on Pro and sells them as add-ons on Basic.
- Which is better for an agency with many clients?
- It depends on how many. HeyOrca’s per-workspace pricing is efficient for a small client list, while each added client adds a workspace fee. SkedCast prices by connected accounts, up to 500 per agency, so a large roster does not multiply the cost per client.
- Can I move from HeyOrca to SkedCast?
- Yes. Export your content to CSV, bulk-import it into SkedCast, then reconnect each client’s profiles through their official sign-in, grouped by client.
