150 a month down to 99 a month, over 12 months
A 51 difference per month multiplied by 12 months projects to 612 in savings over the year.
Social media scheduler cost: what switching saves
This social media scheduler cost calculator works out what you pay today for your current tool against what a new tool would cost, plus a number of months, doing the simple subtraction: the price difference multiplied by the months. Neither price is pre-filled with a SkedCast number, since a typed figure goes stale the moment a plan changes — you enter today's real number for either side.
What you pay today for the scheduler you're comparing against.

How to calculate your social media scheduler cost
- Enter your current tool's monthly price. Use what you actually pay today for the scheduler you are comparing against.
- Enter the new tool's monthly price. Check that tool's current pricing page and type in today's real number for your usage level.
- Enter a number of months to project. Use a meaningful window, like the length of a contract or a full year.
- Read the total savings or extra cost. A positive result means the new tool costs less over that window; a negative result means it costs more.
- Recheck both prices periodically. Prices change on both sides, so revisit the calculator with current numbers rather than trusting a one-time comparison indefinitely.
Worked examples
A new tool that costs more per month
If the new tool's price is higher, for example by 20 a month, the calculator shows the total as an extra cost instead of a savings over the months you enter.
Scheduler switching cost FAQ
- How is the switching cost calculated?
- The current tool's monthly price minus the new tool's monthly price, multiplied by the number of months you enter.
- Is SkedCast's price pre-filled in this calculator?
- No — both prices start at zero so you always enter today's real numbers, since a typed figure would go stale the moment a plan changes.
- Does this account for a migration or setup cost?
- No — it compares ongoing monthly prices only; factor in any one-time migration effort separately.
- What if the new tool costs more than my current one?
- The calculator shows that clearly as an extra cost rather than a savings, so the comparison stays honest either direction.
- Does the calculator store the prices I enter?
- No — the calculation happens entirely in your browser as you type, and nothing is uploaded or saved.
- Where do I find a tool's current monthly price?
- Check that tool's own pricing page directly, since plans and prices change and this calculator does not look them up for you.
