Pick RecurPost if your job is mostly publishing: lots of accounts, recycled evergreen content and client approvals, at a price that doesn't grow with every teammate. Pick Agorapulse if engagement is the job. Its inbox, moderation rules, team assignments and ROI reports are built for social managers who answer comments and DMs all day and need to prove results.
Pick Agorapulse if
- Replying to comments, DMs, ad comments and reviews takes up a large part of your week.
- You want assignments, saved replies and automated moderation rules for the inbox.
- You need to report social ROI through Google Analytics, or compare yourself with competitors.
- Your budget is set per person, and each manager handles around 10 profiles.
Pick RecurPost if
- You want evergreen libraries that keep republishing your best posts on a schedule.
- You're a freelancer or small business and want a paid plan for less than $30 a month.
- You run client accounts and want separate workspaces, client approvals and white-label reports.
- You'd rather pay per social account than per user seat.
How they differ
Pricing. As of November 2026, Agorapulse Standard is $79 per user per month billed annually, or $99 monthly, with 10 social profiles per user. Professional is $119 per user per month annually and Advanced is $149. There's a 30-day trial with no card required. RecurPost Starter is $9 per month billed monthly for 2 social accounts and 1 user. Personal is $25 per month for 5 accounts. Agency is $79 per month for 20 accounts and 3 users, with extra teammates at $20 a month and extra accounts at $4. Yearly billing on RecurPost gives two months free, and every self-serve plan has a 14-day trial.
Core strength. Agorapulse is engagement-first. Every plan has a unified inbox, and higher tiers add labels, saved replies, moderation rules, ad comment monitoring and ROI and competitor reports. RecurPost is publishing-first. Content libraries recycle evergreen posts, and the Agency plan adds client workspaces, approval flows and white-label reports.
Team cost. Agorapulse multiplies its price by every user, so a five-person team on Standard pays five times the list price. On RecurPost's Agency plan, the same team pays $79 plus $20 for each user beyond the three included.
Where each falls short. Agorapulse is expensive for a solo manager who mainly schedules, and competitor benchmarking and advanced reports need Advanced. RecurPost doesn't match Agorapulse's inbox automation, ad comment monitoring or ROI reporting, and approvals and white-label reports start on Agency.
