Loomly alternative: SkedCast vs Loomly
Looking for a Loomly alternative? Loomly is built around a clean, approval-first workflow — every tier, even the entry Starter plan, includes approvals. Starter is $65 a month for 12 social accounts and 3 users; unlimited users and custom branding require the $332/mo Beyond tier. It offers a free trial but no permanent free plan.Updated
What does Loomly offer?
- Approval workflows included on every tier, not gated to a higher plan
- An AI Assistant included from the entry Starter tier
- A steep jump from Starter to Beyond, but Beyond includes unlimited users
Why is SkedCast the stronger choice?
- True bulk import — up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency — from CSV, Google Sheets or AI, validated and fixed inline; not described in Loomly's public pricing
- Every supported platform stated plainly; Loomly's pricing page does not list which networks it publishes to
- No $332/mo tier jump required for white-label; SkedCast includes white-label reporting from the Agency plan up
- Pricing that scales to 500 connected accounts on Agency+, against Loomly's 12-account Starter tier cap

Why do teams look for Loomly alternatives?
One dashboard rolls reach, engagement, and growth up across every account and network — instead of stitching native dashboards together.
Loomly’s approval-first design is genuinely well thought out at every tier. The jump from Starter (12 accounts, 3 users) to Beyond ($332/mo for unlimited users and custom branding) is steep, and its pricing page does not state which platforms it actually publishes to. SkedCast includes white-label reporting from a much lower tier and states its platform coverage plainly.
How do you switch from Loomly to SkedCast?
- Export your calendar as PDF and list the queueIn Loomly, use More › Export Calendar and pick the time range (the export respects your filters, so check them if posts seem missing). It is a PDF, not a spreadsheet, so copy what is still queued from it into a CSV for SkedCast.
- 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.
- Export your analytics if you want the historyThe Analytics tab has an Export Analytics button (top right) that exports PDF or CSV, so you keep the history that does not transfer.
- Cancel Loomly once every post is confirmed liveAccount Settings › Billing tab › Cancel Subscription. Loomly says your calendars then move to view-only mode once the subscription expires. Confirm every post is live in SkedCast first, since Loomly’s help does not say whether already-scheduled posts still publish from a view-only calendar.
