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. SocialPilot Essentials is $25.50 per month billed annually, or $30 monthly, for 7 accounts and 1 user. Standard is $50 monthly for 15 accounts and 3 users, and Premium is $100 monthly for 25 accounts, 6 users and white-label reports. Extra SocialPilot accounts cost $4 a month, and there's a 14-day trial with no card.
Core strength. Agorapulse is engagement-first. Every plan has a unified inbox, and higher tiers add assignments, ad comment monitoring and ROI and competitor reports. SocialPilot is publishing-first and packs more capacity into each tier, with review management and white-label reporting for agencies.
Team cost. Agorapulse multiplies its price by every user, so a three-person team on Standard pays $237 a month billed annually. SocialPilot's Standard plan covers the same three people for $50 a month billed monthly.
Where each falls short. Agorapulse is expensive for a solo manager who mainly schedules, and competitor benchmarking and advanced reports need Advanced. SocialPilot's Essentials plan has no inbox or team collaboration, and its inbox and approvals start on Standard. Its engagement and reporting tools don't go as deep as Agorapulse's.
