Key takeaways
- HeyOrca prices per workspace (Basic $59, Pro $149 per month), so client count drives the bill directly.
- HeyOrca's biggest strength is a no-login client approval flow — check any alternative offers the same.
- SkedCast prices by connected accounts instead of by client workspace.
- Sprout Social and Sked Social are the other agency-built options worth comparing.
Why agencies look for a HeyOrca alternative
HeyOrca's per-workspace pricing is excellent value for a handful of clients: Basic is $59 and Pro $149 per workspace per month, both with unlimited users, and Free covers one user and two profiles at 15 posts a month. The catch is that every additional client is another workspace fee, plus $10 per extra profile beyond the 10 each plan includes, so the model that made HeyOrca cheap at five clients can make it expensive at fifty.
What to check in a HeyOrca alternative
- How pricing scales: per client workspace, per connected account, or per seat
- Whether clients can approve posts without creating a login
- Whether bulk import exists, and from what sources (CSV, Sheets, AI)
- Whether reporting can be branded with your own logo, and on which plan
SkedCast as an alternative
SkedCast prices by connected account rather than by client workspace, so adding a client does not add a flat workspace fee on top. It adds true bulk import from CSV, Google Sheets or AI, which HeyOrca does not offer, and keeps the same no-login guest approval link HeyOrca is known for. See the full SkedCast vs HeyOrca comparison for the complete feature and pricing breakdown, or how to move from HeyOrca to SkedCast if you have decided to switch.
Other agency-built alternatives
Sprout Social and Sked Social are the other two options built specifically for agencies managing several clients, each with a different pricing model and a different depth of analytics. Compare all three against your own client count and reporting needs before deciding — see the full comparison matrix for a side-by-side.
