SkedCast — the best HeyOrca alternative for agencies
SkedCast prices by connected account rather than by client workspace, so the fifteenth client does not add a workspace fee, and seats are included. Each client gets its own workspace and roles, clients approve posts from a guest link with no login (from Studio), a month of posts for every client loads in one bulk import from a CSV file or Google Sheet, and one post can go out to a whole roster at once. Its inbox gathers comments, messages, mentions and Google reviews, and client reports are white-label from Agency. See SkedCast vs HeyOrca.
